Rtorrent
DEPRECATED. See qBitTorrent instead.
Install
rtorrent is installed on bandit, via:
mh-install-rtorrent
There is now a service that starts up after the rtorrent samba share is available. You can start and stop it, eg:
sudo systemctl enable --now rtorrent # to enable on startup, and start it "now" sudo service rtorrent stop # to stop it
It is configured to start after the samba share that stores its data. For more info:
m@bandit [~] sudo systemctl list-units | grep 'mount' | awk '{ print $1 }' # to see the names of systemd mounts m@bandit [~] emacs config/etc/systemd/system/rtorrent.service # ensure the service starts after the sassy mount
Rutorrent requires http auth, provided by haproxy config on bitpost.
TODO:
rutorrent uploads here: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/rutorrent/share/torrents symlink that to: ~m/download/torrents make sure you do this to torrent folders: sudo chown -R m:apache * sudo chmod -R g+w *
Config
Basic config
rtorrent config: bandit:~m/.rtorrent.rc rutorrent config: bandit:/var/www/localhost/htdocs/rutorrent/conf/.rtorrent.rc
File structure
Every box basically shares the rtorrent working directories, so we can dump in fresh torrents from anywhere.
Layout:
~/SharedDownloads -> /spiceflow/sassy/SharedDownloads
SharedDownloads actively downloading torrents and files finished/ files that have finished downloading archived/ actively seeding torrents of archived files symlinks/ symlinks to files that have been archived offline/ offline torrents - move back to archived to auto-restart .[share] symlinks to shares organized by media type
See `mh-setup-samba-shares` for more information.
