ersi, cmx: Have you already tried setting up a tracker? |

It's a "simple" Python WSGI app, but there are some caveats: Only a single process should run at the same time, otherwise it will lead to the same task being handed out multiple times (sqlite doesn't support locking) |

I also recomment that it is run behind a proxy like nginx |

If it runs behind a reverse proxy, make sure that POST uploads of up to 5 megabytes are allowed, because that is how finished tasks are submitted |

The tracker needs an sqlite database in the file tasks.sqlite, and a directory to store the data, named files |

Both need to be writable by the python tracker process |

soultcer: Yes, I've sat one instance of the tracker up for testing previously - was a while ago since last though |

Good. The tracker is the most complicated part of the whole thing, because it is very badly written software |

If you have a spare weekend sometime you might want to rewrite it ;-) |

rewriting the tracker is something I desperately hope to do |
