+# opentracker
+
+*[opentracker][opentracker]* is an open and free [bittorrent][torrent] 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][erdgeist]
+
+### 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.
