Get A Free SeedBox

Introduction:

Here is a new way to get a free SeedBox.
I am not sure how long this will last but here goes.

Start:

Step 1: Go to Joyent: OpenSocial Developers Program

Step 2: Fill in your information.

Step 3: Where it asks for a api key put in random letters and numbers (make it around 18 characters)

Step 4: Download and install torrent flux

You may have to do some other stuff, but that is a basic tutorial.

After a couple of hours, I just said screw it..Too frustrating to set up.
Thanks though :D

Very cool idea, but I don't have that much tech knowledge. Care to go into a bit more detail on how to set it up? I have an account and the windows torrentflux zip on my desktop, but the login wasn't working for me to extract it.

Nah you just need a bit of sun know how....

I might write up a tutorial

*edit*

Here's what I've done to make TF work:

1.) Login ssh (for me i used SSH Explorer)---use your Public IP address for the Host and Shell/SFTP username and password for login info

2.) Download Torrentflux 2.3

Code:

Code:

wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sour...lux_2.3.tar.gz

3.) Untar Torrentflux 2.3

Code:

Code:

tar xfz torrentflux_2.3.tar.gz

4.)Move HTML folder to web/public folder

Code:

Code:

mv torrentflux_2.3/html web/public

5.)Edit config.php

Code:

Code:

cd web/public/html/
vi config.php

Note: to insert something you need to press "i", to delete something you need to press "x", press escape if done. Type :wq to exit vi config.php

P.S. You can also right click the file from the left side of SSH explorer and edit it as a txt file.

Edit the parts I have indicated:

6. Do these following commands

Code:

Code:

mysqladmin -uroot -p create torrentflux
mysql -uroot -p torrentflux < ~/torrentflux_2.3/sql/mysql_torrentflux.sql
chmod -R 777 ~/web/public/html/downloads

Note: for "mysql commands"; when it asks for a password use mysql password..

7. Download the patch for solaris, and patch it

Code:

Code:

cd ~/web/public/html
wget http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~asodyl/solaris/torrentflux-2.3-solaris10.patch
patch -p1 -b -i torrentflux-2.3-solaris10.patch

8. Go to http://publicipaddress/html
enter admin/password (anything you think of) for the first time

9. admin settings

change the python location at

/opt/local/bin/python2.4

*nevermind loadavg
Note: the location of python isn't the same for all of us... well i think so...lol

ENJOY YOUR SMALLTIME SEEDBOX!
