Babou is a combination web-framework/ torrent-tracker written in Go.

babou's Issues

/torrents/episodes list needs to handle directory uploads of series

Right now we have series bundles which have episodes as children.
Each episode bundle is tied to a single-file .torrent which can then be downloaded.

This is fine for series that are currently running; but for archives of series we should add support to display multi-file torrents.

tl;dr: Support for printing a line-item for a series that is a multi-file torrent.

webapp background reaper

Need a goroutine that reaps database records periodically.

(For e.g: removing things such as expired sessions.)

/torrents/create redirect does not show added torrent in list

When /torrents/create renders the list of torrents: the one you just added is absent from the list.
Edit: /torrents/create doesn't show any torrents after redirect.

I feel like the torrent should be sorted to the top of the list, or highlighted, or otherwise made visually distinct for that first redirect.

Allow users to change & reset passwords

(see subj.)

Database is only opened by `-web-stack`

The web server (app/server.go) opens a global database handle.

Thus the tracker is unable to do database writes when the following CLI options are applied: -web-stack=false -track-stack=true because the database connection pool won't be open.

Proposed fixes: open the pool lazily when it is requested [by any server], or have the main babou process open the pool serially before the other server processes are spawned.

Request panics if user logs out w/o an active session.

If a user visits the GET /logout route while they have no active session, the request panics.

Torrent `InfoHash` is recomputed on every request.

When sending a message to the event bridge we recompute the info_hash of the torrent's Info dictionary.

The info_hash is known from the request parameters, and we know that the info_hash is valid after the cache hit or cache fill.

We should either use that info_hash OR store a trusted one along w/ the torrent model itself.

Profiling (pprof) shows that tracker/announce.go spends about 30% of its time computing the SHA1 of this dict (averaged over 20,000 requests). So this is definitely a worthwhile optimization.

Impl. event bridge over unix sockets.

The impl. is basically ready to go; but a case for this configuration has to be added to the new JSON config parser.

Allow creation of television attr. bundles when uploading a torrent.

There's no form to populate attribute bundles from the /torrents/new route.

Postgres 9.4 hstore supports types

hstore is used for the attributes bundles, which store metadata that is used to organize collections of related torrents.

Currently hstore only supports text which means babou is responsible for serializing its data to-and-from strings; which is both expensive and fragile.

postgres 9.4 adds support for types to hstore documents so I may require a minimum version of PostgreSQL 9.4 to leverage this.

getting started

Hi drbawb,
i'm very interested in testing your work but have zero experience with GO

I appreciate the docs you already have written but i'm wondering if you could add some 101 type commands for me to compile the source?

thanks a bunch!
