An HTTP bittorrent tracker written in typescript

Kouko

Kouko is an HTTP based bittorrent tracker written in Typescript / node.

It supports announces and scrapes, uses Redis as a store for the peers, and express for the HTTP server.

This project is currently in development, bugs expected. Feel free to open issues.

Massive Thanks to WalkerServers for sponsoring this project. Check them out for affordable, high performance dedicated servers!

Setup

Make sure you have node.js installed on your machine, and have an instance of redis running locally on port 6379 (TODO: Allow config)

Then you may clone the repository, and run

npm install

This should install all the dependencies. You can then build the tracker by running

npm run build

This will compile the typescript code into the final JavaScript.

Configuration

You will need a .env file in the root, to specify the IP and port to bind to. And example config is:

IP=127.0.0.1
PORT=6969

This would listen on localhost at port 6969.

Running the tracker

You can start the tracker with

npm run start
