Chihaya

Coverage Status Build Status Docker Repository on Quay.io GoDoc License IRC Channel

Chihaya is an open source BitTorrent tracker written in Go.

Differentiating features include:

  • Protocol-agnostic and middleware-composed logic
  • Low resource consumption and fast, asynchronous request processing
  • Unified IPv4 and IPv6 swarms
  • YAML configuration
  • Optional metrics via Prometheus

Production Use

Facebook

Facebook uses BitTorrent in order to speed up large deployments. In order to optimize the flow of traffic within their datacenters, Chihaya is configured to prefer peers within the same subnet. This keeps the vast majority of traffic within the same rack and more importantly off the backbone between datacenters.

CoreOS

Quay is a container registry that offers the ability to download containers via BitTorrent in order to speed up large deployments or deployments geographically far away. Announce URLs from Quay's torrent files contain a JWT in order to allow Chihaya to verify that an infohash was approved by the registry.

Getting Started

In order to compile the project, the latest stable version of Go and a working Go environment are required.

$ go get github.com/chihaya/chihaya
$ go install github.com/chihaya/chihaya/cmd/chihaya

Development

Long-term discussion and bug reports are maintained via GitHub Issues. Code review is done via GitHub Pull Requests. Real-time discussion is done via freenode IRC.
