Install

Binary

See the latest release or use the oneline script to do a quick install on a modern Linux machines.

bash <(wget -qO- https://git.io/simpletorrentqs)

The script installs a systemd unit (under scripts/cloud-torrent.service) as service. Read further intructions: Auth And Security

If hope to specify a version, just append the version number to the command.

bash <(wget -qO- https://git.io/simpletorrentqs) 1.3.3

Docker

$ docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v /path/to/my/downloads:/downloads -v /path/to/my/torrents:/torrents boypt/cloud-torrent

When running as a container, keep in mind:

• You need also to expose your torrent incoming port (50007 by default) if you want to seed (-p 50007:50007). Also, you'll have to forward the port on your router.
• Automatic port forwarding on your router via UPnP IGD will not work unless run in host mode (--net=host).

It's more practical to run docker-compose, see Wiki Page: DockerCompose
