What is swizzin?

Swizzin is a light, modular seedbox solution that can be installed on Debian 9/10 or Ubuntu 16.04/18.04/20.04. The QuickBox package repo has been ported over for your installing pleasure, including the panel -- if you so choose!

Box has been revamped to reduce and consolidate the amount of commands you need to remember to manage your seedbox. More on this below. In addition to that, additional addon packages can be installed during installation. No need to wait until the installer finishes! I may even add an automated installer hooks in the future.

Installation

You can either use the quick installation method (recommended) or you can wile out with installations options using the advanced setup.

Quick Start

Just paste this in your terminal and go! This will ask you all the necessary questions to get you set up. Use your arrow keys, tab (to go to next field), space (to select) and enter (to confirm) to navigate the interactive boxes.

You can see what that looks like here:

Using wget:

bash <(wget -qO - git.io/swizzin) && . ~/.bashrc

Using curl:

bash <(curl -sL git.io/swizzin) && . ~/.bashrc

Please note: If you are running Ubuntu and use sudo for the installation you should include the -H argument to ensure that your home directory is modified to /root. The installer will take care of this for you, and this should be the only time you need to specify sudo -H before running a swizzin command. For example:

sudo -H su -c 'bash <(wget -qO - git.io/swizzin)'

Advanced setup

This feature is fresh AF! If you'd like to help us improve this, please chat with us in the Discord

There's a whole bunch of options for the setup.sh to achieve custom/unattended setups, which you can read all about in this article. Here are a couple of examples what you can do with it.

Want to use your local swizzin clone instead of cloning upstream? Use the --local flag!

git clone https://github.com/<your-fork>/swizzin.git
sudo bash swizzin/setup.sh --local

Want to specify the user and their password? And the packages to have installed? Use the --user and --pass flags, and add packages as arguments!

bash <(curl -sL git.io/swizzin) --unattend qbittorrent nginx panel --user tester --pass test1234 

Want something a bit more complex, specify package install variables, don't want a super long command to type, and store the configuration? Use the --env flag with your custom env file! (see the unattended.example.env file for an example)

bash <(curl -sL git.io/swizzin) --env /path/to/your/env/file/here.env

This is my box. There are many like it, but this one is mine

  • Usage: box list
• install - installs a package from the script repository. Accepts one or more package.
  • Usage: box install sickrage couchpotato plex
