Chihaya – BitTorrent tracker

Chihaya is an BitTorrent tracker written in Go.

Chihaya is built for developers looking to integrate BitTorrent into a preexisting production environment. Chihaya’s pluggable architecture and middleware framework offers a simple and flexible integration point that abstracts the BitTorrent tracker protocols. The most common use case for Chihaya is enabling peer-to-peer cloud software deployments.

A BitTorrent tracker is a special server that coordinates users (peers) sharing files in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, acting as a directory to help your client find others who have parts of the file you want, enabling direct connections for efficient downloads without a central file host

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• HTTP and UDP protocols.
• IPv4 and IPv6 support.
• Pre/Post middleware hooks.
• YAML configuration.
• Metrics via Prometheus.
• High Availability via Redis.
• Kubernetes deployment via Helm.
