Directions Video for Linux

You can watch a YouTube video of me setting it up on Linux, the directions are fairly similar for other OS's

goTorrent Alpha Setup Video

Simplified Directions

  • Extract the download file
  • Enter your settings into the config.toml file
  • If needed modify the public/static/js/kickwebsocket-generated.js file to connect the frontend to the backend (not needed if using reverse proxy)
  • Make goTorrent binary file executable (linux only)
  • Run the goTorrent binary, connect via a web browser

Linux Auto-Start

  • chown the directory goTorrent is in to a new user called "goTorrent"
  • copy the systemd startup file from dist-specific-files\Linux-systemd\goTorrent.service to your systemd directory for services
  • enable the service, then start the service.
