Trkkr

A BitTorrent Tracker in Elixir.

Why?

Because:

• There are never enough implementations of anything, ever.
• I was bored and programming is fun.
• Made it cause I can. Severe lack of ego inflation was bad for my health.

Dependencies

You need:

• Linux (should also work on FreeBSD)
• Erlang/OTP 18+ (using the latest is recommended)
• Elixir v1.4 (later should also work, hopefully)
• A Redis instance
  • Does not need to be on the same machine/container, does not need the native libs.
• An Internet connection to fetch the dependencies.

Installation

1. Install dependencies above.

2. Clone the repo.

3. Run mix deps.get to fetch the required libraries.

4. Edit config.

5. Run iex -S mix to start it.

Something broke?

Create a detailed Issue. Or make a PR with a fix. Thanks.

Even though you don't have to, I'd appreciate if you'd share changes and contribute back.

I test this mainly on Gentoo, so if it is broken on Debian... get a better distro.

WHERE IS FEATURE X???

If you are complaining, probably not there.

I mainly try to stick to the BitTorrent Specification here and some BEPs.

If some feature is missing from the BitTorrent Specification in this tracker, it's either a TODO or a bug.
