Self-host nzbfast on DockHive

Fast Usenet downloader with a SABnzbd-compatible API

Nzbfast is a speed-focused Usenet (NZB) downloader written in Rust. It is one small binary with a low memory footprint, and it saturates a fast line with a handful of connections. Articles are verified while they arrive, so most jobs finish with no separate verify pass. Repair and unpack run only when they are actually needed, and extraction starts before the last article lands. The web dashboard on port 6790 also serves a SABnzbd-compatible API, so Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and friends work with no extra glue. Add an .nzb from the dashboard, or drop one into the watch folder.

Running nzbfast on DockHive

Smallest size

nzbfast needs at least a Micro HivePod (about $2 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing.

Its own HTTPS address

nzbfast gets its own HTTPS address as soon as it's running. You can also serve it on your own domain: add the domain to the pod and the certificate is issued automatically.

Your data and backups

nzbfast's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
