# Seedbox

## Service / subscription

| Field | Configuration |
| --- | --- |
| Provider / plan | [Ultra.cc](https://ultra.cc/); `Lancer-v2` |
| Host | `terra.usbx.me` |
| Account / home | `jayo60013` / `/home/jayo60013` |
| Cost | GBP 4.50/month |
| Reported expiration | `2026-10-25`; renewal behaviour unconfirmed |
| Disk | 1001 GB allocation; 984 GB available at review |
| Remaining traffic | 2 TB at review; total allowance/reset period unconfirmed |
| Download speed | Provider reports `Unlimited`; no numeric rate supplied |
| Upload speed | Provider reports `50000 Mbps`; not measured throughput |
| qBittorrent UI | <https://jayo60013.terra.usbx.me/qbittorrent/> |

## Jupiter connection

Actual connection: **SFTP via rclone/FUSE**, not WebDAV or scheduled sync.

| Component | Path / value |
| --- | --- |
| rclone remote | `seedbox`; type `sftp`; host `terra.usbx.me`; user `jayo60013` |
| SSH key file | `/home/jay/.ssh/id_ed25519`; key contents excluded |
| Remote source | `seedbox:downloads/qbittorrent` |
| Remote absolute path | `/home/jayo60013/downloads/qbittorrent` |
| Jupiter mount | `/mnt/seedbox` |
| Container source | `/downloads` in Radarr and Sonarr |
| Radarr library | Container `/movies` -> host `/data/jellyfin/movies` |
| Sonarr library | Container `/tv` -> host `/data/jellyfin/tv_shows` |

rclone remote: `shell_type=unix`; checksum commands `md5sum`, `sha1sum`.
rclone is apt-managed. Observed FUSE mount: UID/GID `1000:1000`;
`rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other`.

## Mount lifecycle

`/etc/systemd/system/rclone-seedbox.service`; enabled at boot.
User/group `jay`; `Type=simple`; wants/starts after `network-online.target`.

```sh
/usr/bin/rclone mount seedbox:downloads/qbittorrent /mnt/seedbox \
  --allow-other \
  --dir-cache-time 1m \
  --vfs-cache-mode writes
```

Stop: `/bin/fusermount -u /mnt/seedbox`.
Restart: `on-failure`; delay `10s`; target `multi-user.target`.

`--allow-other` permits other local users, subject to filesystem permissions.
`writes` caches write/read-write opens; read-only opens stream from the remote.
No explicit cache path/size limit is supplied in the unit.

The remote mount is not a complete local replica or backup. Radarr/Sonarr
library destinations are on the HDD array; cross-filesystem hardlinks are
impossible. Mount startup ordering relative to Docker containers is unconfirmed.
Their `/downloads` binds use `rprivate`; host remounts are not automatically
propagated into existing containers.

The FUSE-reported capacity is not evidence of the account quota; use the
provider allocation above.

## Import / removal

Intent: Radarr/Sonarr import required media, then remove completed downloads.
Owner reports `Completed Download Handling / Remove Completed` enabled.
qBittorrent global seeding ratio limit: `1.0`.

Reported undeleted example: share ratio approximately `0.01`; seeded less
than one minute. That ratio does not meet the configured global limit.
`Completed` download status alone does not establish completed seeding.

Upstream requirements: successful import, supported seeding goal reached,
client reports seeding complete, paused/stopped torrent, expected category.
Removal is requested through qBittorrent's API, not by deleting through rclone.
Limit action, torrent overrides and removal after reaching the goal remain
unconfirmed; no configuration change or successful-removal evidence recorded.
