Request: Standalone WebTorrent Tracker Implementation in Java

[subins2000]

Hi !

Thank you for your work in popularizing WebTorrent with it's implementation in Bigly. I was looking for WebTorrent tracker implementation in Java, and only came across this. I'm working on a P2P game that works using WebTorrent trackers (for signalling to find peers/players). I want to port the game to Android to play offline, so a tracker need to be started on the device.

It would be great if WebTorrentTracker.java is made independent of Bigly to be used as a script for simply starting a WebTorrent tracker. I don't know Java much and decoupling it from Bigly seems difficult.

Plus, having an independent Java implementation of WebTorrent tracker in Java will help WebTorrent ecosystem and its apps. I humbly request you to make an independent script for it or give me pointers on how to do it easily and use it in my project. Do you have any suggestions on how I can solve this ?

Hi,
I seriously doubt anyone has actually used the tracker in that plugin, I wrote it more as a proof of concept than anything else, many years ago. Unfortunately I don't have any time to spend on it, it isn't something I've actively worked on for a long time and other stuff has priority - you'd need to work on extracting the code yourself. Note that it is dependent on the Tyrus websocket implementation that doesn't appear to have had work done on it since 2015... It has a pretty massive set of dependencies.

Good luck!
