Gobitt is a bittorrent tracker written in Go. This is still a work in progress, and should not be used in a production environnement. Moreover, I used this project to learn Go, so beware, here be dragons.
Ideas and suggestions are, of course, welcome !
Gobitt is available under the Beerware license.
If we meet some day, and you think this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return.
#How to run
Gobitt stores the peers and the hash they publish/want in a Database. Currently, two databases are supported: memory and mongodb.
Memory is the default database, and is used if configuration does not include a "databaseplugin" directive, or if databaseplugin is set to "memory".
go run cmd/gobitt/main.go
Gobitt can use a MongoDB server too: You will need a mongodb server running, and this example uses Docker to quickly start one.
cp config.ini.example config.ini
cp mongodb.ini.example mongodb.ini
echo "databaseplugin = mongodb" >> config.ini
docker run -d -p 27017:27017 mongo
go run cmd/gobitt/main.go
You can then use your favorite bittorent client to happily share your files !
