Bittorrent tracker and file discovery frontend, designed to be efficient enough to run on Cloudflare free tier.
The goal of this project is to (eventually) supplement or replace expensive infrastructure used by torrent site operators with something free-to-cheap and easy to work with. Anyone from large internet groups to local friends should be able to use edgeflix to setup a public or private file sharing site.
- - working /announce
- - working /scrape
- - optional torrent registration/allowlisting
- - way to view list of torrents in KV
- - search
- - auth
- - logging
- - use R2 to store metadata about torrents
This project is in very early development. To run the dev server:
git clone https://github.com/rpgwaiter/edgeflix.git
cd ./edgeflix
npm i
npm start- Node (something recent probably)
- nix (optional, but nix is cool would recommend)
- a Cloudflare account (account ID, API key)
- make a KV namespace for storing peer/torrent info
- populate your wrangler.toml accordingly
Once the tracker is up and running (either locally or on CF), you can make a torrent and add 'https://your.ip/announce' as a tracker to start sharing files.
If you have ideas or contributions to add, feel free to make an issue or PR.
