Mularr

Mularr is a powerful integration for aMule that provides a functional web interface with a nostalgia-infused retro touch. It bridges the gap between classic P2P and modern automation tools by offering qBittorrent-compatible APIs and Torznab indexers, making it seamless to use aMule with apps like Sonarr and Radarr.

It can also use the Telegram Network as a download provider, set up from its own Telegram section. This requires a real account (not a bot) to access groups/channels with media files.

Quick Start with Docker 🐳

The easiest way to get Mularr running is using Docker Compose:

services:
    mularr:
        image: ghcr.io/joecarl/mularr
        container_name: mularr
        restart: unless-stopped
        ports:
            - '8940:8940'
        volumes:
            - ./data:/app/data

    # Check docker-compose.example.yml for a full configuration guide

Run it with:

docker-compose up -d

Access the web UI at http://localhost:8940.

Integrate with Sonarr / Radarr

You can configure Mularr as both an indexer and a download client.

Tip

In Sonarr/Radarr's configuration forms, click Show Advanced to reveal all required fields.

To configure as indexer use the following settings:

• Type: Torznab
• API Path: /api/as-torznab-indexer

To configure as download client use the following settings:

• Type: qBittorrent
• URL Base: /api/as-qbittorrent

Automatic downloads & RSS sync

eD2k has no RSS feed for Sonarr/Radarr to poll, so Mularr builds one. In Extensions, add a Sonarr or Radarr extension with the instance URL and API key: Mularr periodically searches for the titles in its Wanted > Missing list and publishes the matches in its Torznab feed.

The extension also chooses which search providers that app uses, for the sync and for its own automatic searches.

Unlike eD2k, Telegram and Hispashare do report new releases, and Mularr can add them to the same feed: enable it in the Hispashare extension settings or with the Indexer feed toggle in the Telegram view. The Indexer Feed view shows the state of the feed.

Hispashare provider

Hispashare catalogues eD2k releases by title, with IMDb ids. In Extensions, add a Hispashare extension with the personal token from hispashare.org/token. Its releases then show up in searches next to aMule's, linked to their Hispashare page, and are downloaded by aMule like any other eD2k file. The Sonarr/Radarr sync looks titles up by IMDb id on Hispashare when it knows it, and so do their automatic searches: with Hispashare enabled the indexer accepts IMDb ids and answers them from the Hispashare catalogue.

The API allows 250 requests per hour per token. Mularr caches identical searches for 15 minutes and stops background searches when fewer than 30 requests are left, keeping them for the ones you run yourself.

Tech Stack

Mularr is built primarily with TypeScript.

Component	Technology
Frontend	Chispa + Vite
Backend	Node.js + Express
Database	SQLite (better-sqlite3)

💻 Development Setup

If you want to contribute or run Mularr you need docker & VS Code devcontainers. Open the project in the devcontainer and it automatically installs the needed dependencies.

All runtime data (SQLite database, aMule config and downloads) is kept in dev-data/ at the repository root, which is gitignored and mirrors the /app/data volume of the production image.

Then you can start the application in dev mode:

1. Backend Setup

cd backend
npm run dev

2. Frontend Setup

cd frontend
npm run dev

---

Production Build

The included Dockerfile handles everything for you. It builds the frontend and bundles it with the backend for a single-image deployment.

docker build -t mularr .
