Docker images:

• REDIS oconnorct1/redis:latest
• NGINX oconnorct1/nginx:latest
• NODE oconnorct1/peer-tracker:latest

Ingenuity

The first of it's kind! A smart persistent Bittorent tracker.

If one server crashes, the system will not fail.

Nginx will handle distributing the load.

Using a Redis server, memory will be stored intermittently to ensure speed and efficiency over memory, as some loss in peers is ok.

Paired with client software, this package is ready to go.

Functionality

• Scrape support
• NEW Multi-Scrape support!!!!
• WebSocket support
• Multi-server support
• Docker compatible
• NGinX ready

Install

npm install peer-tracker

Usage

Server

new Server();

Yep, literally that simple. (Be sure to have a Redis instance running)

The server does take options, however:

let opts = {
  port:    80    // Default
  udpPort: 1337  // Default
  docker:  false // Default
}

new Server(opts);

Client

// Scrape one hash
let client = Client.udp("scrape", "0.0.0.0", 1337, 6688, "0123456789012345678901234567890123456789", 0, 0, 0);
// OR ws:
// Scrape multiple hashes:
let client = Client.ws("scrape", "0.0.0.0", 80, 6688, ["0123456789012345678901234567890123456789", "0123456789012345678901234567890123456789"], 0, 0, 0);


client.on("announce", (interval, leechers, seeders, addresses) => {
console.log("interval:", interval);
console.log("leechers:", leechers);
console.log("seeders:", seeders);
console.log("addresses:", addresses);
});

client.on("scrape", (seeders, completed, leechers) => {
console.log("seeders", seeders);
console.log("completed", completed);
console.log("leechers", leechers);
});

client.on("error", (err) => {
console.log("error:", err);
})

Client will auto-self-destruct upon completion.
