# travnik - NOT IMPLEMENTED YET, COME BACK LATER!
... is a tool that connects to the bittorent dht network and waits for infohashes of torrents, fetches their metadata, stores it in a database and indexes them via a web-interface. It's meant to be a lighter and simpler alternative to [btdig.com's erlang crawler](https://btdig.com).
travnik operates single-threadedly, including the BEP-5 (DHT), BEP-9 (metadata exchange) and HTTP client.
travnik implements BEP-3 (bencoding), BEP-5 (DHT) and BEP-9 (metadata exchange) itself, other things (mysql client and http server) are handled by libraries.
## requirements
`build-essential`, `libmicrohttpd-dev`, `default-libmysqlclient-dev`
## installation
debian and derivatives users add my package repository (prog.sijanec.eu)[https://prog.sijanec.eu] and `apt install travnik`.
other users compile from source with `make`.
## usage
debian users get a systemd service installed and can start `travnik` with `service travnik start`. logs are written to the default log (`journalctl -xe` or `service travnik status`). `travnik` is started as the user `nobody`.
other users can execute `./travnik`; the command hangs and reports logs to `stderr`. it's important to start `travnik` as a user with the least amount of priviledges, `nobody` for example.
`travnik` then starts crawling and opens up a web interface on port 8728, open [http://localhost:8728](http://localhost:8728) for searching and exporting the database. 8782 can be remembered by picturing letters TRAV on a mobile phone keyboard.
## prebuilt binaries
... are available for my CI/CD server. check the badge below if the latest release was built successfully.
