# Monsoon
[![Copr build status](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/grenade/monsoon/package/monsoon/status_image/last_build.png)](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/grenade/monsoon/package/monsoon/)
A fast BitTorrent client for the GNOME desktop and headless servers, built on the [Vortex](https://github.com/Nehliin/vortex) io-uring engine.
Two interfaces:
- **Desktop app** -- Tauri + Svelte GUI with GNOME integration
- **Headless server** -- REST API + WebSocket + web GUI for remote/LAN deployment
## Install from COPR (Fedora)
```bash
sudo dnf copr enable grenade/monsoon
sudo dnf install monsoon # desktop app
sudo dnf install monsoon-server # headless server
```

## Building from Source
### Dependencies (Fedora)
```bash
sudo dnf install rust cargo gcc nodejs pnpm \
gtk3-devel webkit2gtk4.1-devel libsoup3-devel \
pango-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel glib2-devel libappindicator-gtk3-devel
```
The GTK dependencies are only needed for the desktop app. The headless server only requires `rust`, `cargo`, and `gcc`.
### Desktop App
```bash
pnpm install && pnpm build # build frontend
cargo build --release -p monsoon # build desktop binary (embeds frontend)
```
For development with hot-reload: `cargo install tauri-cli && cargo tauri dev`
### Headless Server
```bash
cd monsoon-web && pnpm install && pnpm build && cd ..
cargo build --release -p monsoon-server
```
### Manual Install
```bash
sudo install -Dm755 target/release/monsoon /usr/local/bin/monsoon
sudo install -Dm755 target/release/monsoon-server /usr/local/bin/monsoon-server
sudo install -Dm644 data/cafe.lair.monsoon.desktop /usr/share/applications/cafe.lair.monsoon.desktop
sudo install -Dm644 data/cafe.lair.monsoon.metainfo.xml /usr/share/metainfo/cafe.lair.monsoon.metainfo.xml
sudo install -Dm644 src-tauri/icons/icon.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/cafe.lair.monsoon.png
sudo install -Dm644 src-tauri/icons/128x128.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/cafe.lair.monsoon.png
sudo install -Dm644 src-tauri/icons/32x32.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/cafe.lair.monsoon.png
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
```
## Headless Server
### Running
```bash
# With web GUI (run from the repo root, or set MONSOON_WEB_DIR)
monsoon-server
# Or with explicit web asset path
MONSOON_WEB_DIR=/path/to/monsoon-web/dist monsoon-server
```
The server listens on `0.0.0.0:3000` by default. Open `http://server-ip:3000` in a browser for the web GUI.
### Systemd
```bash
sudo install -Dm644 data/monsoon-server.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/monsoon-server.service
sudo systemctl enable --now monsoon-server
```
### REST API
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| `GET` | `/api/torrents` | List all torrents |
| `GET` | `/api/torrents/:id` | Get torrent details |
| `POST` | `/api/torrents` | Add torrent (JSON: magnet or file path) |
| `POST` | `/api/torrents/upload` | Upload a .torrent file (multipart) |
| `DELETE` | `/api/torrents/:id` | Remove torrent |
| `POST` | `/api/torrents/:id/pause` | Pause torrent |
| `POST` | `/api/torrents/:id/resume` | Resume torrent |
| `GET` | `/api/config` | Get server configuration |
| `PUT` | `/api/config` | Update server configuration |
#### Examples
```bash
# Add a magnet link
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/torrents \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"type": "magnet", "magnet": "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."}'
# Upload a .torrent file
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/torrents/upload \
-F "file=@/path/to/file.torrent"
# List torrents
curl http://localhost:3000/api/torrents | jq
# Pause a torrent
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/torrents/TORRENT_ID/pause
```
### WebSocket
Connect to `ws://server-ip:3000/ws` for real-time event streaming. Events are JSON:
```json
{"type": "metrics", "id": "...", "downloadSpeed": 1234, "uploadSpeed": 56, "numPeers": 12, "piecesCompleted": 42}
{"type": "stateChanged", "id": "...", "newState": "seeding", "name": "..."}
{"type": "metadataComplete", "id": "...", "name": "...", "totalPieces": 100, "totalSize": 1073741824}
```
### Queue Management
Configure in `~/.config/monsoon/config.toml`:
```toml
[server]
listen_addr = "0.0.0.0:3000"
max_concurrent_downloads = 3
min_peers_before_queue = 2
seed_completed_by_default = true
webhook_url = "http://localhost:8080/hook"
```
- **listen_addr** -- HTTP API and web GUI listen address (default `0.0.0.0:3000`)
- **max_concurrent_downloads** -- new torrents are queued when all slots are full; the next queued torrent auto-starts when a slot frees up
- **min_peers_before_queue** -- if a torrent has fewer peers than this and download speed is below 1 KiB/s for 30 consecutive seconds, it rotates to the back of the queue
- **seed_completed_by_default** -- when `false`, completed torrents are paused instead of seeding
- **webhook_url** -- POST a JSON payload to this URL when a torrent completes (for automation: Jellyfin scans, file movers, etc.)
## Configuration
Monsoon follows XDG directory conventions:
| Purpose | Path |
|---------|------|
| Config | `~/.config/monsoon/config.toml` |
| Downloads | `~/.local/share/monsoon/downloads/` |
| Torrent registry | `~/.local/share/monsoon/torrents.json` |
| Logs | `~/.local/state/monsoon/monsoon.log` |
| DHT cache | `~/.cache/monsoon/dht_bootstrap_nodes` |
