Installing ruTorrent in VPS

ruTorrent:

Before explaining about ruTorrent, let me discuss about rTorrent. rTorrent is a popular BitTorrent client for linux operating system based on libTorrent libraries. rTorrent is not GUI based torrent client rather it's a command based client. You have to have some extra knowledge about rTorrent commands to operate rTorrent. Fortunately, we don't need to know the commands for rTorrent because rTorrent has some webUI clients. ruTorrent is one of them. With ruTorrent web client, you can operate rTorrent easily without knowing any additional command. It feels like uTorrent. That's why it's called ruTorrent (rTorrent+uTorrent).

 

Installing ruTorrent should not take more than 10 minutes. All you need to login as root in your server with your favorite SSH client and execute some commands. Installation procedure is very easy. Thanks brock for making an awesome script to make this installation so easy.

Installation procedure  (For Debian):

1. At first, stop Apache web server by executing the following commands

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop

update-rc.d apache2 remove

2. Update your server

sudo apt-get update

3. Install squid proxy (optional but recommended)

sudo apt-get install squid

4. Install PHP-5 and MySQL

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

5. Install IRSSI

sudo apt-get install irssi

6. Download the rTorrent+ruTorrent easy installation script

wget --no-check-certificate -O autodl-setup https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38092479/autodl-setup

7. Start the installation procedure

sudo sh autodl-setup

Note: In the installation procedure, you will be asked for what web server you will install. Choose nginx (you can choose other too but nginx is better). Also install webmin. Set one or more usernames and passwords for your seedbox if necessary. 

After successful installation, login in your seedbox by going this url http://<your-server-ip>/rutorrent with your chosen username and password.
