This is the tracker used for Finnix's BitTorrent tracker.
The list of approved hashes is baked into the primary script. This reduces complexity, but does mean the repo needs to be updated and a new container needs to be built for each release.
docker run --rm --init -p 127.0.0.1:23812:8000/tcp ghcr.io/finnix/finnix-tracker:latest
Example Apache configuration:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName tracker.finnix.org
ServerAlias ipv6.tracker.finnix.org
SSLEngine on
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /stats [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico$ - [R=404,L]
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:23812/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:23812/
# bittorrent-tracker blindly trusts X-Forwarded-For, so we must strip before setting
RequestHeader unset X-Forwarded-For
</VirtualHost>
Note that while they both proxy to the same destination, tracker.finnix.org only has A records and ipv6.tracker.finnix.org only has AAAA records.
Both are listed as trackers in the torrents.
If this weren't done and tracker.finnix.org was both A and AAAA, a dual-stack client might default to announcing to the tracker over IPv6 and only get back IPv6 peers (potentially with many fewer options). By listing two trackers, the dual-stack client will announce over both IPv4 and IPv6.
