Radiance

Radiance is a BitTorrent tracker written in C++ for the Luminance project. It supports requests over TCP and can track both IPv4 and IPv6 peers in a dual-stack mixed swarm.

Radiance Compile-time Dependencies

• GCC/G++ (4.7+ required; 4.8.1+ recommended)
• LLVM/clang++ (3.3+ required; 3.4+ recommended) (alternative to GCC/G++)
• Boost (1.55.0+ required)
• libev (required)
• MySQL++ (3.2.0+ required)
• jemalloc (optional, but highly recommended - preferred over tcmalloc)
• TCMalloc (optional)

Also required for debug builds:

• gperftools (CPU profiler bindings)

Standalone Installation

• Create the following tables (see install/radiance.sql):

• options
• torrents
• users
• users_main
• users_slots
• users_freeleeches
• xbt_client_blacklist
• xbt_files_users
• xbt_peers_history
• xbt_snatched

• Edit radiance.conf to your liking.

• Build Radiance:

autoreconf -i
./configure
make
sudo make install

• On FreeBSD:

pkg update
pkg install autoconf automake autotools boost-libs clang35 gcc8 git gmake libev llvm35 mysql++-mysql56 google-perftools
git clone https://github.com/Empornium/Radiance.git
cd Radiance/ && autoreconf -i && ./configure --with-tcmalloc && make && make install

Configure options:

--with-jemalloc is recommended

--with-tcmalloc is a good alternative to jemalloc

--enable-debug can help to find the source of crashes

Obs: Configure flags --with-jemalloc and --enable-debug doesn’t work on FreeBSD, --with-jemalloc work’s since you have google-perftools installed.

Running Radiance

Run-time options:

• -c <path/to/radiance.conf> - Path to config file. If unspecified, the current working directory is used.
• -d - Fork to the background and run as a service daemon.
• -v - Print version string and exit.

Signals

• SIGHUP - Reload config
• SIGUSR1 - Reload torrent list, user list and client blacklist
