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.

Brilliant promotion any how. thanks Dave.

thanks! the server was setup automatically wow!!!

Setting up torrentflux now thx

anyone know how to install python on Sun? they use Sun OS and torrentflux wont download stuff without python..

@ invitehog: Could you reply back to say what kind of upload speed you're getting with this?

it doesnt work not possible to get it working

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

Quote:
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!
