peerflix-server

Streaming torrent client for node.js with web ui.

Based on torrent-stream, inspired by peerflix.

Usage

1. npm install -g peerflix-server
2. peerflix-server
3. Open your browser at http://localhost:9000/
4. Enjoy!

Configuration

You can configure the application using ~/.config/peerflix-server/config.json file (doesn't exist by default). The options are passed to all torrent-stream instances. Here's an example that overrides the defaults:

{
  "connections": 50,
  "tmp": "/mnt/torrents"
}

You can also change the default port by setting PORT environment variable:

PORT=1234 peerflix-server

# or on windows
SET PORT=1234
peerflix-server

The application stores its current state (list of torrents) in ~/.config/peerflix-server/torrents.json

Daemon

If you want to run peerflix-server as a daemon, you can do it using forever:

npm install -g forever

forever start $(which peerflix-server)

You might also want to enable logging -- see the docs.
