Encrypted Fileserver with Bittorrent Web Interface

Posted by timothy on from the freenetesque dept.

mistermark writes "I built a fully encrypted (samba) fileserver with a web interface for managing torrent downloads on it. All I used is OpenBSD 3.6 and its package collection, except for the TorrentFlux-interface (which you need to install separately). Anyway, it can be built using binary packages only. I included a rough HOWTO on how to make one of these yourself."

    from the "about" page: Professional co-location was/is out of the question simply because of the costs and I did/do have bigger plans than to be able to host this kind of thing at home. To be honest, if this thing grows any bigger I'll be moving the whole shebang to a datacenter after all... Prices have dropped quite a bit since about two years ago and now. But, until then, all this comes from my server at a friends house where he has an amazing 10mbit up&down.

    Well, I guess he USED to be your friend, until you slashdotted his internet connection....

  5. I did this once... by k4_pacific · · Score: 4, Funny

    I built a fully encrypted system once. Even the source was encrypted. Sadly, I lost the key and it was all for naught...

    Shit, you better call up Blizzard quick. They've been using this warez technology to distribute their game patches. Who knew all torrents were illegal!

    Douche bag.

    In other news, MySQL is out of memory, and if you click the little help link it provides, it takes you to the best 404 page i've seen. (Click here for direct link)
