FAQ

Is my data private?

Yes. TorrenCloud is fully self-hosted. Your torrent files, download data, and cloud credentials are stored exclusively inside your Docker container's volumes. No data is transmitted to any third-party service.

Which cloud providers are supported?

Google Drive via OAuth 2.0 and any S3-compatible storage — including AWS S3, Backblaze B2, MinIO, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2, and DigitalOcean Spaces.

What are the hardware requirements?

• RAM: 2 GB minimum, 4 GB recommended
• Disk: 3 GB for the Docker image + space for downloads
• CPU: Any modern 64-bit processor
• OS: Anything that runs Docker (Linux, macOS, Windows with WSL2)

How do I update to a new version?

docker pull ghcr.io/torrenclou/torrentclou:latest
docker stop torrencloud && docker rm torrencloud
./run.sh

Your data persists in Docker volumes and survives container re-creation.

Can multiple users share one instance?

The current version is designed for single-admin use. Multi-user support with per-user storage configs and job isolation is planned for a future release.

What happens if a download fails?

Failed jobs can be retried from the dashboard. The job queue (Hangfire + Redis) survives container restarts and tracks full retry history.

Can I access TorrenCloud remotely?

Yes. Expose ports 47100 and 47200, set NEXTAUTH_URL to your public URL, and access from any browser. For production, place a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy) in front and terminate TLS there.

Where are downloaded files stored?

Inside the container at /data/downloads, mapped to the torrencloud-downloads Docker volume. You can mount a local directory instead:

docker run ... -v /path/to/local/dir:/data/downloads ...

Is there a hosted version?

No. TorrenCloud is 100% self-hosted by design. There is no cloud service, no accounts, no subscriptions. You own everything.
