Streaming torrent client for node.js with web ui.
Based on [torrent-stream](https://github.com/mafintosh/torrent-stream), inspired by [peerflix](https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix).
## Usage
1. `npm install -g peerflix-server`
1. `peerflix-server`
1. Open your browser at [http://localhost:9000/](http://localhost:9000/)
1. Enjoy!
## Configuration
You can configure the application using `config.json` file (doesn't exist by default).
The [options](https://github.com/mafintosh/torrent-stream#full-api) are passed to all torrent-stream instances.
Here's an example that overrides the defaults:
```json
{
"connections": 50,
"tmp": "/mnt/torrents"
}
```
The application stores its current state (list of torrents) in `torrents.json`
You can define configuration and state files location by `PEERFLIX_CONFIG_PATH` environmnt variable. Default value is `$HOME/.config/peerflix-server/`.
You can also change the default port by setting `PORT` environment variable:
```sh
PORT=1234 peerflix-server
# or on windows
SET PORT=1234
peerflix-server
```
## Daemon
If you want to run peerflix-server as a daemon, you can do it using [forever](https://github.com/foreverjs/forever):
```sh
npm install -g forever
```
```sh
forever start $(which peerflix-server)
```
You might also want to enable logging -- see the [docs](https://github.com/foreverjs/forever#command-line-usage).
