Getting started

The easiest way is to get built binaries from Releases, but building from sources is also possible:

git clone https://github.com/torrust/torrust-tracker.git
cd torrust-tracker
cargo build --release

Usage

Notice: Skip the first step if you've downloaded the binaries directly.

1. After building Torrust Tracker, navigate to the folder.

cd torrust-tracker/target

2. Create a file called configuration.toml with the following contents and change the configuration according to your liking:

mode = "public"
external_ip = "0.0.0.0" # set this to your external IP

[udp]
bind_address = "0.0.0.0:6969"
announce_interval = 120 # Two minutes

[http]
bind_address = "127.0.0.1:1212"

[http.access_tokens]
someone = "MyAccessToken"

3. And run Torrust Tracker:

./torrust-tracker -c configuration.toml

4. Add your tracker announce url as follows: udp://localhost:6969 or udp://{external_url}:6969. Make sure to port forward the udp port.
