opentracker

opentracker is an open and free bittorrent tracker project. It aims for minimal resource usage and is intended to run at your wlan router. Currently it is deployed as an open and free tracker instance. Read our free and open tracker blog and announce your torrents there (but do not hesitate to setup your own free trackers!).

This is a dockerized version of this software made by erdgeist.

Usage

The easiest method is to use the ready-to-use image from dockerhub, using docker compose. Create a file called docker-compose.yml and add the following content:

services:
  opentracker:
    container_name: opentracker
    image: mikognn/opentracker
    ports:
      - 6969:6969
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config

then create a config directory in the same folder as the .yml file and add the opentracker.conf. You can find a fully fletched (and documented) version of it in the opentracker.conf.sample file.

Build it yourself

You can also clone my repo and run docker compose up from within. This will build the container on your machine.

Just run

	git clone --recursive https://git.mike-ochmann.de/miko/opentracker.git
	cd opentracker
	cp config/opentracker.conf.sample config/opentracker.conf
	sudo docker compose up -d

License

The license is not really clear to me. It may be GPL or "beer ware license" or a combination of both. I will not really give any license information because of that.
