+# dupe — Simple, Fast & Lightweight Torrent Server ⚡📦
+
+A **self-hosted torrent-based file manager and media player**, similar to Put.io — fast, minimal, and elegant.  
+Add torrents, monitor downloads, and instantly stream videos through a clean web interface! 🖥️🎬
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- 🧲 **Add Torrents**  
+  - Upload `.torrent` files (via form)  
+  - Add magnet links (via prompt)
+
+- 📥 **Download Management**  
+  - View active torrents  
+  - See progress, speed, and remaining time  
+  - Browse file trees within torrents
+
+- 🔴 **Real-Time Updates**  
+  - Live progress updates via WebSocket
+
+- 🎞️ **Instant Playback**  
+  - Stream video files directly in the browser  
+  - ffmpeg-ready structure for Safari/codec compatibility
+
+- 🗂️ **Clean & Modern Web Interface**  
+  - Svelte-powered fast and lightweight UI  
+  - Search bar, torrent list, detailed view  
+  - Custom modal video player: title, progress bar, volume, subtitles, and download icons  
+  - Mobile-friendly layout with hamburger menu support
+
+- 🐳 **Easy Docker Setup**  
+  - One-command deployment with `docker-compose.yml`
+
+> 📝 Login and user authentication are not yet implemented — planned in the roadmap.
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+```
+root
+├─ client/   # Svelte-based Web UI
+├─ server/   # Node.js (Express) API + WebSocket + WebTorrent
+└─ docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+- **client**  
+  - Developed and built using Vite  
+  - Backend API configured via `VITE_API` (e.g., `http://192.168.x.x:3001`)
+
+- **server**  
+  - Express REST endpoints (list, add, stream torrents)  
+  - Real-time updates via WebSocket (`progress` events)  
+  - WebTorrent for downloading and seeding  
+  - Optional ffmpeg integration for video transcoding
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 🐳 Docker Compose (Recommended)
+```bash
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+**Default Ports:**
+- Server (API): `http://localhost:3001`
+- Client (UI): `http://localhost:5173`
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Environment Variables
+
+### Client
+| Variable | Description |
+|-----------|--------------|
+| `VITE_API` | Backend API root URL (e.g., `http://localhost:3001`) |
+
+### Server
+| Variable | Description |
+|-----------|--------------|
+| `PORT` | API port (default: `3001`) |
+

+## 🧠 Developer Notes
+
+- **Safari Compatibility:** Some codecs may cause issues. It’s recommended to remux files (`.mkv → .mp4`) with ffmpeg if needed.

+- 🔐 Authentication (JWT or session-based)  
+- 🧩 TheMovieDB / TVDB / MusicBrainz integrations  
+- 🎛️ Advanced player features (subtitle selection, quality control)  
+- 🧹 File management, trash bin, and history
