Description

  • TorrentFlux/b4rt 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.

Installation

Install tf-b4rt and smeserver-tf-b4rt from the [SME Contribs repository] using the following command on SME Server shell:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-tf-b4rt

No need to reboot.

Open YOURSERVER/torrent in a web browser

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

Change Document Root Path: as below, all other settings are optional, ignore the warnings

/opt/b4rt/html/

Uninstallation

To remove this package issue the following command on the SME Server shell:

rpm -e tf-b4rt smeserver-tf-b4rt

To remove mysql database and user, both are b4rt, see MySQL#Remove a database and MySQL#Remove a user. There is no need to reboot.

Additional information

The first user to login becomes a super admin

The manual is available at /torrent/manual.txt

You can fine tune access to torrentflux with DB settings. For more details see Web Application RPM#New DB settings.

Problems

  • wget needs php-cli, this is just too much work for a gui wget
  • searching often fails, google for your .torrent url, then copy and paste the URL into the Torrent Field.
