Chihaya
Note: The master branch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development. Please use releases instead of the master branch in order to get stable binaries.
Chihaya is an open source BitTorrent tracker written in Go.
Differentiating features include:
- HTTP and UDP protocols
- IPv4 and IPv6 support
- Pre/Post middlware hooks
- YAML configuration
- Metrics via Prometheus
- High Availability via Redis
- Kubernetes deployment via Helm
Why Chihaya?
Chihaya is built for developers looking to integrate BitTorrent into a preexisting production environment. Chihaya's pluggable architecture and middleware framework offers a simple and flexible integration point that abstracts the BitTorrent tracker protocols. The most common use case for Chihaya is enabling peer-to-peer cloud software deployments.
