Torrentflux for SME Server

Maintainer

Dungog (Software)

Description

  • TorrentFlux is a PHP based Torrent client that runs on a web server.
  • Manage all of your Torrent downloads through a convenient web interface from anywhere.


Step-by-step HowTo for installation of Torrentflux on a fresh SMEserver 7.1.3.

Orginates from http://www.dungog.net/sme/webapp.php#torrent and some input from these forums.

Installation

1. Log in (with username root) to the SMEserver console.

2. If you already enabled Dungog repo, skip down to 5, if you're unsure, go to 4.

3. The following command will configure the Dungog repository on SME Server. The dungog repository will no longer be updated. All the contribs from this repository have been moved to the smecontribs repository.

DungogMember contribs are still at http://www.dungog.net After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:

signal-event yum-modify

4. Check correct input with

db yum_repositories show dungog

It should contain the lines in step 3. If you get nothing in return, go back to 3.

5. Install torrentflux and smeserver-torrentflux

yum --enablerepo=dungog install smeserver-torrentflux

6. The following commands are not required:

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

7. Open YOURSERVER/torrent in a web browser

Login with admin/admin, change admin password and review settings.

Take baby for a testdrive!

Check installed version

yum info installed *torrentflux

That will show both packages.

Uninstall

yum remove torrentflux

This will also remove smeserver-torrentflux.

Additional information

Announcement: SME Server 7.x Contribs
