TRON 買下 BitTorrent Inc.

在「BitTorrent Inc. Officially Confirms Acquisition by TRON Foundation」這邊看到的消息，BitTorrent Inc. 這邊的新聞稿在「It’s Official: BitTorrent Is Now Part of TRON!」。

BitTorrent Inc. 一直找不到方向，結果被 cryptocurrency 這邊領域的買走了，後面的方向其實不太需要猜，一般使用者大概都不會愛…

client 的部份我跳船很久了，目前在 Ubuntu 下主要是以 RTorrent 為主，而 Windows 上有在用 qBittorrent。還沒跳船的趁這次可以參考一下…

How to Install rTorrent ruTorrent Seedbox on Ubuntu VPS

This tutorial will guide you through the installation of libtorrent 0.13.0, rTorrent 0.9, and the ruTorrent Web UI (3.0) on a Debian or Ubuntu system. It has been tested with Debian 6 (x64) and Ubuntu 11.04 (x64).

To begin, access your VPS via SSH and run the following to update your platform and install some needed dependencies:

  # apt-get update

# sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential automake libtool libcppunit-dev libcurl3-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev unzip unrar-free curl libncurses-dev

# apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-cli php5-curl

Enable scgi for Apache:

# apt-get install libapache2-mod-scgi

# ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/scgi.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/scgi.load

Install XMLRPC:

# mkdir /install;cd /install

# svn checkout http://xmlrpc-c.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xmlrpc-c/stable xmlrpc-c

# cd xmlrpc-c

# ./configure –disable-cplusplus

# make

# make install

Intall libtorrent:

# cd /install

# wget http://vps6.net/src/libtorrent-0.13.0.tar.gz

# tar xvf libtorrent-0.13.0.tar.gz

# cd libtorrent-0.13.0

# ./autogen.sh

# ./configure

# make

# make install

Install rTorrent:

# cd /install

# wget http://vps6.net/src/rtorrent-0.9.0.tar.gz

# cd rtorrent-0.9.0

# ./autogen.sh

# ./configure –with-xmlrpc-c

# make

# make install

# ldconfig

Create required directories:

# mkdir /home/seeder1/rtorrent

# mkdir /home/seeder1/rtorrent/.session

# mkdir /home/seeder1/rtorrent/watch

# mkdir /home/seeder1/rtorrent/download

Setup .rtorrent.rc file (rTorrent config):

# cd ~/

# wget http://vps6.net/src/.rtorrent.rc

# cp .rtorrent.rc /home/seeder1/

(Edit the settings in .rtorrent.rc, like max upload/download speed, max connected peers, etc, as needed.)

Install rTorrent:

# cd /install

# wget http://vps6.net/src/rutorrent-3.0.tar.gz

# tar xvf rutorrent-3.0.tar.gz

# mv rutorrent /var/www

# wget http://vps6.net/src/plugins-3.0.tar.gz

# tar xvf plugins-3.0.tar.gz

# mv plugins /var/www/rutorrent

# rm -rf /var/www/rutorrent/plugins/darkpal

# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/rutorrent

Secure /rutorrent:

# a2enmod ssl

# a2enmod auth_digest

# a2enmod scgi

# openssl req $@ -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/apache2/apache.pem -keyout /etc/apache2/apache.pem

# chmod 600 /etc/apache2/apache.pem

# htdigest -c /etc/apache2/passwords seedbox seeder1

(Enter a password of your choice when prompted, you will use this to log in to the ruTorrent web UI.)

# cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/

# rm -rf default

# wget http://vps6.net/src/default

# a2ensite default-ssl

# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Install screen:

# apt-get install screen

Start rTorrent in a detached shell using screen:

# screen -fa -d -m rtorrent

(To start rtorrent automatically after reboots, add the above command to /etc/rc.local)

How do I setup a systemd service to be started by a non root user as a user daemon?

I just finished the install and setup process of systemd on my arch-linux system (2012.09.07). I uninstalled initscripts (and removed the configuration files).

What I want to do is create a service that can be started and stopped by a non-root user. The service is to start a detached screen session running…

Автозапуск для deb и ubuntu через сервисы

rTorrent has the ability to bind to a specific IP Address, which is handy when you want to have all of your torrent traffic flowing over a certain internet connection (such as a VPN). Unfortunately, rTorrent does not have the ability to bind to a specific network interface. This is unfortunate because in larger VPN services, such as PrivateInternetAccess, your IP address changes frequently. This means we have to constantly edit our rTorrent config file and restart rTorrent when our network interface IP address changes.

I have been searching for a while now for how to pick up changes to the PrivateInternetAccess VPN IP address (which changes every few hours), have the rTorrent config bind section reflect this change, and restart rTorrent on my Synology NAS running DSM 5.

I first started out believing that I had to find a way to install cron on the Synology in order to achieve this. I could not find a single relevant article/blog-post/tutorial detailing how to get cron installed and working on DSM 5. Luckily, it turns out that DSM 5 does have support for a Task Scheduler that can run arbitrary user-defined scripts!

Here's how to get a task to run on Synology DSM5 to update the rTorrent config file with the current VPN IP address:

WARNING! Back up your existing rTorrent.rc file first! Mine is in /volume1/@appstore/rtorrent/var/.rtorrent.rc

Log into the Synology Diskstation web interface as any admin.

Open up the Control Panel.

Click on the Task Scheduler.

Click the "Create" drop-down, and then select "User-defined script".

Give the task any name you wish, for example "rTorrent VPN bind".

I left the user as root — use any user who has sufficient permissions to edit files and restart services.

As for the actual "User-defined script", I have created this Gist, edit/change it to suit your needs:

https://gist.github.com/JohnPostlethwait/d9b1b8da830410e3287b

For the "Schedule" tab I have mine run at the greatest frequency it currently allows, which is daily, every hour. Make sure to put the "First run time" as 00:00 and the "Last run time" as 23:00 Otherwise it will only run once a day...

Save this script by clicking on the "OK" button.

optional: Select this script from the table, and click "Run" just for the hell of it...

That is it! Your rTorrent config file should now be updated every hour (or so), have rTorrent restarted to pick up the changes, and your torrents continued to be downloading over the VPN.

I hope this helps someone out there...
