torrent2ipfs is a BitTorrent to IPFS bridge. It takes torrent files, downloads them with a torrent client and then adds the downloaded content to IPFS.
Requires IPFS, Python3, qBittorrent.
torrent2ipfs will add all torrents from ingest/ to qBittorrent with a special tag, then monitor qBittorrent until it no longer has any torrents to download. It will create IPFS hashes for each torrent you added, storing them as a JSON file. It's smart enough to skip creating IPFS hashes for torrents it has already processed before.
test.torrent is included for testing, which is actually ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso.torrent
You'll need to install some python libraries before running this.
pip3 install python-dotenv
pip3 install qbittorrent-api
pip3 install ipfshttpclient
pip3 install humanfriendly
You'll also need to create a configuration file. Copy .env.dist to .env and edit it.
You'll end up with something like this:
# Username
username=zorlin
# Password
password=mysecurepassword
# URL
url=qbittorrent.nasa.gov
# Port
port=443
# Label to use for adding and checking torrents
label=torrent2ipfs
Place torrents to "convert" into ingest/, then run python3 main.py.
