CLI search tool

[rakoo]

Hey everyone! First of all thank you for this magnificent tool, I like not depending on third-party websites that come and go anymore and having more decentralization.

I'm running magnetico from a VPS, and my torrent client is on my personal computer. I want to use its database to find torrents but magneticow has 2 problems:

• it is a web version. I don't want to run a full webserver, configure its security etc when I already have a working ssh access. I could ssh into the VPS and access magneticow from localhost, but it's not usable in terminal browsers such as lynx
• there is no information on swarm health and that is always my number one sorting criteria

So I made a little tool to accomodate my needs: https://sr.ht/~rakoo/magneticos. It's a very simple cli tool that uses the sqlite db to find torrents, queries multiple trackers, and gives a list of torrents sorted by number of seeders. fzf helps the user refine their choice.

I'm not sure it's worth integrating inside magnetico, but if it is feel free to reuse and modify

It seems really promising. Could you add the database path as a parameter? It is currently hardcoded to your home directory :smile:

Oops! Indeed this is problematic. I'll probably default to the user path and make it configurable, just like https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico/blob/master/cmd/magneticod/main.go#L156

Updated 😃

Updated badly, it adds "?mode=ro" to db path, then tries to find file with such suffix, always fails.

Fixed in https://git.sr.ht/~rakoo/magneticos/commit/1c427b53e2c3186250034dea09e3b422a55f3379 😁
