Configuration
Chihaya's behaviour is customized by setting up a JSON configuration file. Available keys are as follows:
httpListenAddr
type: string
default: "localhost:6881"
The listen address for the HTTP server. If only a port is specified, the tracker will listen on all interfaces. If left empty, the tracker will not run a HTTP endpoint.
httpRequestTimeout
type: duration
default: "4s"
The duration to allow outstanding requests to survive before forcefully terminating them.
httpReadTimeout
type: duration
default: "4s"
The maximum duration before timing out read of the request.
httpWriteTimeout
type: duration
default: "4s"
The maximum duration before timing out write of the request.
httpListenLimit
type: integer
default: 0
Limits the number of outstanding requests. Set to 0 to disable.
udpListenAddr
type: string
default: "localhost:6881"
Then listen address for the UDP server. If only a port is specified, the tracker will listen on all interfaces. If left empty, the tracker will not run a UDP endpoint.
createOnAnnounce
type: bool
default: true
Whether to register new torrents with the tracker when any client announces (true), or to return an error if the torrent doesn't exist (false).
purgeInactiveTorrents
type: bool
default: true
If torrents should be forgotten when there are no active peers.
announce
type: duration
default: "30m"
The announce interval value sent to clients. This specifies how long clients should wait between regular announces.
minAnnounce
type: duration
default: "30m"
The announce min_interval value sent to clients. This theoretically specifies the minimum allowed time between announces, but most clients don't really respect it.
defaultNumWant
type: integer
default: 50
The default maximum number of peers to return if the client has not requested a specific number.
allowIPSpoofing
type: bool
default: true
Whether peers are allowed to set their own IP via the various supported methods or if these are ignored. This must be enabled for dual-stack IP support, since there is no other way to determine both IPs of a peer otherwise.
dualStackedPeers
type: bool
default: true
True if peers may have both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, otherwise only one IP per peer will be used.
realIPHeader
type: string
default: blank
An optional HTTP header indicating the upstream IP, for example X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP. Use this when running the tracker behind a reverse proxy.
respectAF
type: bool
default: false
Whether responses should only include peers of the same address family as the announcing peer, or if peers of any family may be returned (i.e. both IPv4 and IPv6).
clientWhitelistEnabled
type: bool
default: false
Enables the peer ID whitelist.
clientWhitelist
type: array of strings
default: []
List of peer ID prefixes to allow if client_whitelist_enabled is set to true.
torrentMapShards
type: integer
default: 1
Number of internal torrent maps to use. Leave this at 1 in general, however it can potentially improve performance when there are many unique torrents and few peers per torrent.
reapInterval
type: duration
default: "60s"
Interval at which a search for inactive peers should be performed.
reapRatio
type: float64
default: 1.25
Peers will be rated inactive if they haven't announced for reapRatio * minAnnounce.
apiListenAddr
type: string
default: "localhost:6880"
The listen address for the HTTP API. If only a port is specified, the tracker will listen on all interfaces. If left empty, the tracker will not run the HTTP API.
apiRequestTimeout
type: duration
default: "4s"
The duration to allow outstanding requests to survive before forcefully terminating them.
apiReadTimeout
type: duration
default: "4s"
The maximum duration before timing out read of the request.
apiWriteTimeout
type: duration
default: "4s"
The maximum duration before timing out write of the request.
apiListenLimit
type: integer
default: 0
Limits the number of outstanding requests. Set to 0 to disable.
driver
type: string
default: "noop"
Sets the backend driver to load. The included "noop" driver provides no functionality.
statsBufferSize
type: integer
default: 0
The size of the event-queues for statistics.
includeMemStats
type: bool
default: true
Whether to include information about memory in the statistics.
verboseMemStats
type: bool
default: false
Whether the information about memory should be verbose.
memStatsInterval
type: duration
default: "5s"
Interval at which to collect statistics about memory.
jwkSetURI
type: string
default: ""
If this string is not empty, then the tracker will attempt to use JWTs to validate infohashes before announces. The format for the JSON at this endpoint can be found at the RFC for JWKs with the addition of an "issuer" key. Simply stated, this feature requires two fields at this JSON endpoint: "keys" and "issuer". "keys" is a list of JWKs that can be used to validate JWTs and "issuer" should match the "iss" claim in the JWT. The lifetime of a JWK is based upon standard HTTP caching headers and falls back to 5 minutes if no cache headers are provided.
jwkSetUpdateInterval
type: duration
default: "5m"
The interval at which keys are updated from JWKSetURI. Because the fallback lifetime for keys without cache headers is 5 minutes, this value should never be below 5 minutes unless you know your jwkSetURI has caching headers.
jwtAudience
type: string
default: ""
The audience claim that is used to validate JWTs.
