BEP-15 (UDP Tracker Protocol for BitTorrent) implementation in C.

BtTracker

BtTracker is a BEP-15 (UDP Tracker Protocol for BitTorrent) implementation in C.

Disclaimer: This is experimental software. Do not use it in production.

Features

• Uses Redis as data storage
• Worker threads for enhanced concurrency
• Ability to whitelist or blacklist specific torrents
• Syslog integration with detailed logging (debug mode)
• Configurable via .conf file

Supported Platforms

This code is known to compile and run on the following operating systems:

• Linux (tested on ArchLinux and Ubuntu)
• Mac OS X 10.8+ (with Homebrew)

Building

First, make sure you have the required toolchain in order to compile it:

• GCC, or a C-99 compiler
• pkg-config
• Automake
• Autoconf

Also, you need to install the required software/libraries:

• GLib
• Redis and Hiredis

Assuming that you've already cloned the repository, open a terminal and run the following commands in its root directory:

$ autoreconf -iv
$ ./configure
$ make

In order to run the unit tests:

$ make test

The tests are minimal since I still didn't settle for a macro design just yet, but the tests will eventually be written.

If you have failing tests, please send us a pull request.

Running

If you have successfully compiled the code, you can now run the program:

$ src/bttracker <config_file>

A default configuration, bttracker.conf file can be found at the project root directory.

Installing

I don't recommend you to make install this package because it is not yet complete.
