How to make a bit-torrent tracker in PHP? Is it possible to?

Question

PHP

Hey! I need to make a torrent tracker on the site, the site itself is almost ready, but as for the part of the tracker, everything is dull here. The fact is that no TBdev , ppkB3cker , torrentPier , etc. are not suitable because of their "dizzying" design, a la the forum of the 2000s, as well as all sorts of "bells and whistles" - chat, forum, admin panel and even registration - I don't need all this, since I already have my own. In other words, I'm not looking for an engine, but rather the very back end of the torrent tracker script. Honestly, I looked all over the Internet, but I couldn’t find anything really suitable. Wherever you spit, these "engine scripts" are everywhere.
You see, it only takes a few functions:

• Downloading a .torrent file by a user
  
• The site displays the size of this file
  
• Showing peers/seeds/lychees
  
• Other users can download it
  
• Counter, how many times downloaded
  

In general, only the most basic.
Looked at answers on Toaster , stackoverflow ; searched on github ... not much useful.
Although it is hard to believe, maybe someone still has a link to a php script with similar functionality in their bins? And in general, give advice on how to proceed in this situation.
PS
I thought a little about the Datalife Engine, is it possible to adjust everything for yourself there by any chance? Or is it the same story as with torrentPier?

Answer 1

In fact, you don't need a tracker specifically in PHP. Take one of the popular trackers like this https://ru.wikibooks.org/wiki/RTorrent , they all have an API. You will need to write a PHP binding to call the tracker API and integrate it into your already finished site. Most likely, you will not find a ready-made web client. For rTorrent there is https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent , but it's more for the individual user.
By the way, here is what I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTor...

Answer 2

In general, in my opinion, purely on php, this does not happen. After all, there is a lot of work with files and protocols. And there are applied utilities and programs. Accordingly, then everything is configured through the api. Probably so.

Answer 3

And you are confusing a torrent tracker and a muzzle.
Here is the tracker . Those. a service that services peer connections and processes all information.
MySQL is used for data storage.
xbtt.sourceforge.net/tracker
And you will already climb into the MySQL database for the necessary information. The point is small - to make a .torrent file generator. The format is open - I'm sure you can handle it.
