What is seedsync?
SeedSync is a self-hosted file synchronization tool designed for seedbox users. It runs on your local machine (Linux, Raspberry Pi, Windows, or macOS via Docker, or as a deb package on Ubuntu) and connects via SSH to a remote Linux server to download files as they become available. Built on LFTP for high-speed transfers, it provides a web-based dashboard to monitor and control transfers, automatically extracts archives after download, supports auto-queueing with pattern-based filtering, and allows deletion of both local and remote files. The project is fully open source under Apache-2.0.
