Frontend


ℹ SeedboxSync aims to be as simple as possible! That’s why it was originally designed as a pure command-line utility.

However, a dedicated frontend is also available to help you monitor and visualize what SeedboxSync is doing. This frontend is provided as a separate GitHub project and leverages SeedboxSync’s database to extract information and generate useful statistics.


Installation

ℹ Recommended: Docker is the preferred installation method for stability and isolation.

You must install SeedboxSync first and use docker-compose:
