sqtracker is a private BitTorrent tracker service that implements things like user accounts, ratio tracking, commenting, voting, moderation, and more.
This is particularly useful for private tracker communities that want to control who can download, how much they must seed and so on.
sqtracker works in conjunction with opentracker, which provides the actual BitTorrent tracker protocol. sqtracker can be thought of a sort of front-end built on top of opentracker, providing everything else you need to run a full private tracker platform.
As the BitTorrent tracker protocol has a proper specification, other tracker software that implements the protocol properly should also be compatible with sqtracker. However, only opentracker is tested, and opentracker is used in the docker-compose.yml file.
