Phalanx DB¶
Phalanx DB is a distributed hash-checking network that allows multiple cli_debrid instances to share cached torrent hash data with each other. When enabled, your instance can check whether a torrent hash is cached on debrid without having to query the debrid API directly — using data contributed by other nodes in the network.
Enable it in Settings → Additional Settings → Phalanx DB Settings → Enable Phalanx DB.

The Phalanx DB status page shows the current connection state and node diagnostics.
