Installation
1) Install rTorrent
apt install rtorrent screen
2) Confgure rTorrent
First, create a dedicated user, to avoid running rTorrent with root:
adduser --disabled-password rtorrent
You will need to answer few questions (or just skip them with ENTER)
Then, we will create a configuration file to define few settings and the SCGI to let Flood connect to rTorrent.
nano /home/rtorrent/.rtorrent.rc
and copy the following:
# Where rTorrent saves the downloaded
files directory = /srv/torrent/downloads
# Where rTorrent saves the session
session = /srv/torrent/.session
# Which ports rTorrent can use (Make sure to open them in your router)
port_range = 50000-50000
port_random = no
# Check the hash after the end of the download
check_hash = yes
# Enable DHT (for torrents without trackers)
dht = auto
dht_port = 6881
peer_exchange = yes
# Authorize UDP trackers
use_udp_trackers = yes
# Enable encryption when possible
encryption = allow_incoming,try_outgoing,enable_retry
# SCGI port, used to communicate with Flood
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000
It will work out of the box, but feel free to tweak it, especially on the download paths.
Create the mentioned folders (download and session)
mkdir /srv/torrent
mkdir /srv/torrent/downloads
mkdir /srv/torrent/.session
and set the rights permissions:
chmod 775 -R /srv/torrent
chown rtorrent:rtorrent -R /srv/torrent
chown rtorrent:rtorrent /home/rtorrent/.rtorrent.rc
Now, we create a SystemD startup script to ensure rtorrent is running at the startup (and it ease the control)
nano /etc/systemd/system/rtorrent.service
and add:
[Unit]
Description=rTorrent
After=network.target
[Service]
User=rtorrent
Type=forking
KillMode=none
ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -d -m -fa -S rtorrent /usr/bin/rtorrent
ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall -w -s 2 /usr/bin/rtorrent
WorkingDirectory=%h
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Enable it at boot:
systemctl enable rtorrent.service
and start it up!
If no error, you can move to the next step.
3) Install Flood
You will need NodeJS, the version 8 will work great. (Feel free to use nvm to manage your node versions) To do so, still in root (Or with sudo) run:
apt install curl build-essential git
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -
apt install -y nodejs
And then, clone their git repo
cd /srv/torrent
git clone https://github.com/jfurrow/flood.git
This should be pretty fast.
Use the template of the config file as standard configuration
cd flood
cp config.template.js config.js
Now install flood using npm
If no error, continue with:
4) Start Flood
Before launching Flood, we will create a systemd script to launch flood directly at startup (and easier to manage)
First, create a dedicated user that will run flood
adduser --disabled-password flood
and add the right permissions:
chown -R flood:flood /srv/torrent/flood/
Then create the script
nano /etc/systemd/system/flood.service
and add:
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/srv/torrent/flood
ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
Restart=always
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=notell
User=flood
Group=flood
Environment=NODE_ENV=production
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
add it to the boot:
and start it!
