# slskd-auto-disconnect
Automatically disconnects [slskd](https://github.com/slskd/slskd) from the Soulseek network after a period of inactivity. Prevents 24/7 file sharing when you forget to disconnect after downloading music.
## How it works
A cron job runs the script every 5 minutes. When slskd is connected, the script checks for activity:
- **Active downloads** (in progress, queued, or initializing) via the slskd API
- **Recent docker log activity** (searches, folder browsing, downloads, connections)
If no activity is detected for the configured timeout (default 30 minutes), slskd is disconnected from the Soulseek network.
Uploads are intentionally **not** counted as activity — they're what you're trying to avoid. However, if an upload is mid-transfer when the idle threshold is reached, the script will wait for it to finish before disconnecting.
## Requirements
- `curl`, `jq` on the host
- Docker (the script reads container logs)
- Root/sudo access (for `docker logs`)
## Installation
1. Copy the script to your server:
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /opt/arr/slskd/scripts
sudo cp auto-disconnect.sh /opt/arr/slskd/scripts/
sudo chmod +x /opt/arr/slskd/scripts/auto-disconnect.sh
```
2. Create a `.env` file from the example:
```bash
sudo cp .env.example /opt/arr/slskd/scripts/.env
sudo nano /opt/arr/slskd/scripts/.env
```
3. Add a cron job (as root):
```bash
sudo crontab -e
```
```
*/5 * * * * /opt/arr/slskd/scripts/auto-disconnect.sh 2>/dev/null
```
## Configuration
The script loads a `.env` file from its own directory. See `.env.example` for all available options.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `SLSKD_URL` | `http://localhost:5030` | slskd API base URL |
| `SLSKD_USER` | `slskd` | slskd web UI username |
| `SLSKD_PASS` | `slskd` | slskd web UI password |
| `SLSKD_IDLE_TIMEOUT` | `30` | Minutes of inactivity before disconnect |
| `GOTIFY_URL` | *(empty)* | Gotify server URL for push notifications |
| `GOTIFY_TOKEN` | *(empty)* | Gotify app token for push notifications |
## Logs
The script logs disconnect events and errors to `auto-disconnect.log` in the same directory. The log auto-truncates at 500 lines.
