[Tutorial] - Setting up your own Seedbox on a Linux Based VPS

Seedboxes has become an essential part of the Torrent community , most users can't survive on trackers without the use of a seedbox or a dedicated server that helps with improving user's ratio.

This tutorial is concerned about installing a rutorrent client on linux based Vps.

Steps :

1.Updating ubuntu.
2.Installing Rutorrent Client.

1.Updating ubuntu.

Insert each code in a separate line.

Code:

apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install wget apt-get install sudo apt-get install yum

Installing Rutorrent Client Using Auto-Script

Quote:

for Ubuntu and Ubuntu clones:

Code:

cd wget --no-check-certificate -O autodl-setup http://sourceforge.net/projects/autodl-irssi/files/autodl-setup/download sudo sh autodl-setup

for Any other OS
Log in as root:

Code:

su -

Then install it:

Code:

wget --no-check-certificate -O autodl-setup http://sourceforge.net/projects/autodl-irssi/files/autodl-setup/download sh autodl-setup

If you already have another web server installed, you may need to disable it or uninstall it. If you don't, the web server this script installs (*) might not work.

What it will do:

Install a web server (*)
Install ruTorrent with multi-user support (http and https)
Install 1st party ruTorrent plugins
Install an encrypted FTP server (vsftpd)
Install rtorrent with xmlrpc-c support
Install the IRC auto downloader plugin (autodl-irssi)
Install Webmin
Install a startup script for rtorrent and Irssi

You can disable any of the above by answering no when you run the installer.

* Apache, nginx, or lighttpd.

I've tested the following OSes (clean installs):

Arch Linux 2010.05
ArchBang 2010.10
CentOS 4.8
CentOS 5.5
ClearOS 5.2
Debian 4.0r7
Debian 5.0.3
Debian 5.0.7
Debian 6.0.0
Fedora 13
Fedora 14
Frugalware 1.3
Gentoo 1.12.14
Linux Mint 8
Linux Mint 9
Linux Mint 10
Mandriva Linux release 2008.0
Mandriva Linux release 2010.1
MEPIS 8.5
openSUSE 11.1
openSUSE 11.3
Pardus 2009.2
Pardus 2011
PCLinuxOS 2010
Peppermint OS
RHEL 5.5
RHEL 6.0
Sabayon 5
Scientific Linux 5.5
Scientific Linux 6.0
Ubuntu Server 6.06.2 LTS
Ubuntu Server 8.04.4 LTS
Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS
Ubuntu 10.10
Unity release 2010

If your OS isn't listed, but is derived from one of the above OSes, then the installer could still work. Eg., all Ubuntu and Debian derived OSes should work.

Issues:
SELinux:

If you have SELinux enabled, it's possible Apache or vsftpd won't work.

Firewall:

The script doesn't open any ports in your firewall. If your firewall is enabled, you may need to open a few ports.

Ubuntu Server 6:

You need to enable the universe repository

RHEL/CentOS/Scientific 4 & 5:

You may need to add and enable a 3rd party repository, eg. EPEL, and another one for PHP 5.3, eg. remi (English : Repository Configuration - Les RPM de Remi - Blog)

geoip plugin:

Some OSes don't have the PHP geoip module (thus disabling the ruTorrent geoip plugin).
