\n If you have a question or a feature request I\'d prefer you to create an issue on GitHub. \n You can visit the subreddit or join the Discord channel. \n If you absolutely must you can reach me via mail but I really prefer any of the other ways.\n
Via GitHub sponsors which involves a recurring donation similar to Patreon.
\n \n
\n \n Thanks to the handful of people who\'ve already donated! I really appreciate the gesture. \n \n A special thanks go to\n \n \n \n and\n \n \n \n for sponsoring me.\n \n

\r\n So you found a bug? Ideally raise\r\n an issue on github. If you don\'t have an account create one ;-) I prefer GitHub issues for communication. Otherwise\r\n send me a mail. \r\n But please read this first: \r\n Don\'t just tell me what the problem is. If you just post an exception from the console or say "x does not\r\n work" I probably won\'t be willing or able to help. Remember you want something\r\n from\r\n me. \r\n
\r\n
\r\n Tell me what you expect to happen and what actually happens\r\n
\r\n
\r\n If hydra doesn\'t even start, tell me your OS and how you start it.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n If the website looks weird tell me what browser you use. If you use a reverse proxy post your config\r\n and your base URL setting.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n If the GUI behaves strangely or doesn\'t react as it should check the browser console for errors.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Tell me anything that might help. If you do all that I will do my best to help you and improve NZBHydra.\r\n \r\n
\r\n If possible provide the log and your settings. Here you can get anonymized versions of both to be\r\n posted: \r\n \r\n
\r\n You may want to take a look at the settings to make sure there\'s nothing in there you wouldn\'t want me to\r\n see.\r\n
\r\n You can use the input box below to execute any SQL query against the database. You will likely never need\r\n this but it allows me to ask you to execute a query when I try to solve a bug.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n
It was the product of months of hard work and butt-ugly. I started it mostly just for fun and to see if I could - it was my first\n python project and it shows in the code. At that point the only other comparable tool was "NZBMegaSearch" which, to be honest, I already blew out of the water feature-wise, and was already abandoned.\n When I released hydra I thought "What features could I possibly add to this?". Well, apparently enough to put another two years of work and more than 1100 commits into it.
\n \n
But at some point I realized that I could barely keep it working and with every change I made I introduced bugs left and right and the performance got worse and worse.\n The most pressing issue were database timeouts which I never really solved.
\n \n
So I decided to switch to java (which I know by heart) and write NZBHydra2. I\'d say that was another (at least) 600 hours of work just for the first release - which I published three years ago in january.\n I think at that point it was one of the top 5 posts on /r/usenet.
\n
Five years later I\'ve put more than 3000 hours into both projects, made 3300 commits and got 1100 stars on GitHub. I roughly estimate the user count to be somewhere in the 50 thousands - which is probably nothing compared\n to NZBGet or Sonarr but still, I never expected to reach these numbers.
\n
I admit that I\'m burnt out a bit and the frequency of my commits waned - by now I *really* can\'t think of many more features to develop. That being said I have no plans of abandoning the project and will continue to fix bugs, answer\n questions and do improvements.\n
\n
\n I want to thank all users, all the people on reddit, on my discord server, the donors, the bug reporters, the feature requesters, the indexer admins and all the other developers in this little microcosm of ours.
\n
\n And last but not least I want to celebrate with you. For that I will give away a year\'s worth of "Ale" VIP access on DrunkenSlug for ten users. If you don\'t have an account, don\'t\n worry - I\'ll send you an invite!\n Big thanks to the admin for providing me these give-aways, I really appreciate it. To participate just visit the NZBHydra subreddit and look for the announcement thread.\n

\r\n If you\'re a new user (or don\'t want to migrate your data right now) you can start by configuring\r\n NZBHydra 2.\r\n \r\n You will not be able to use it until you\'ve added at least one indexer.\r\n
