Introduction

For the last year, I have been developing a Nex-Gen Torrent Tracker Script called "UNIT3D." This is a PHP script based off the lovely Laravel Framework -- currently Laravel Framework 5.6.3, MySQL Strict Mode Compliant and PHP 7.1 Ready. The code is well-designed and follows the PSR-2 coding style. It uses a MVC Architecture to ensure clarity between logic and presentation. As a hashing algorithm Bcrypt or Argon2 is used, to ensure a safe and proper way to store the passwords for the users. A lightweight Blade Templating Engine. Caching System Supporting: "apc,” "array,” "database,” "file," "memcached," and "redis" methods. Eloquent and much more!

Some Features

UNIT3D currently offers the following features:

• Internal Forums System
• Staff Dashboard
• Faceted Ajax Torrent Search System
• BON Store
• Torrent Request Section with BON Bounties
• Freeleech System
• Double Upload System
• Featured Torrents System
• Polls System
• Extra-Stats
• PM System
• Multilingual Support
• TwoStep Auth System
• DB + Files Backup Manager
• and MUCH MORE!

Requirements

• A Web server (NGINX is recommended)
• PHP 7.1.3 + is required (7.2 for Argon2 Support)
• Dependencies for PHP,
  • php-curl -> This is specifically needed for the various APIs we have running.
  • php-zip -> This is required for the Backup Manager.
• Crontab access
• A Redis server
• MySQL 5.7
• TheMovieDB API Key: https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api
• TheTVDB API Key: https://api.thetvdb.com/swagger
• OMDB API Key: http://www.omdbapi.com/
• A decent dedicated server. Dont try running this on some crappy server!

Installation

Prerequisites Example:

1. Install OS

   Ubuntu Server 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" (64bits)

   or

   Ubuntu Server 16.04.4 LTS "Xenial Xerus" (64bits)

2. Install MySQL:

   sudo apt-get install mysql-server

   mysql_secure_installation

3. Get repositories for the latest software:

   sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:nginx/development

   sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php

   sudo apt-get update

4. Then we'll install the needed software (Basics/NGINX/PHP):

   #Basics sudo apt-get install -y git tmux vim curl wget zip unzip htop

   #Nginx sudo apt-get install -y nginx

   #PHP apt-get install php-pear php7.2-curl php7.2-dev php7.2-gd php7.2-mbstring php7.2-zip php7.2-mysql php7.2-xml php7.2-fpm

5. Configure PHP:

   sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini

   FIND->;cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 REPLACE WITH->cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

   Save and close

   sudo systemctl restart php7.2-fpm

6. Configure Nginx:

   sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

   server {
   listen 80 default_server;
   
   root /var/www/html/public;
   
   index index.html index.htm index.php;
   
   server_name example.com;
   
   location / {
       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
   }
   
   location ~ \.php$ {
      include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
   }
   }
   

   Save and close.

   sudo systemctl reload nginx

7. Secure Nginx with Let's Encrypt

   https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04

Main:

1. First grab the source-code and upload it to your web server. (If you have Git on your web server installed then clone it directly on your web server.)
2. Open a terminal and SSH into your server.
3. cd to the sites root directory
4. run php -r "readfile('http://getcomposer.org/installer');" | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/bin/ --filename=composer
5. Edit your .env file with your APP, DB, REDIS and MAIL info.
6. Run php artisan key:generate to generate your cipher key.
7. Edit config/api-keys.php, config/app.php and config/other.php (These house some basic settings. Be sure to visit the config manager from staff dashboard after up and running.)
8. Run php artisan migrate --seed (Migrates All Tables And Foreign Keys)
9. Add * * * * * php /path/to/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1 to crontab. /path/to/artisan becomes whatever directory you put the codebase on your server. Like * * * * * php /var/www/html/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1 .
10. Suggest that you run php artisan route:cache. (Keep in mind you will have to re-run it anytime changes are made to the routes/web.php but it is beneficial with page load times).
11. sudo chown -R www-data: storage bootstrap public config
12. Go to your sites URL.
13. Login with the username UNIT3D and the password UNIT3D. (Or whatever you set in the .env if changed from defaults.) (This is the default owner account.)
14. Enjoy using UNIT3D.

Packages

Here are some packages that are built for UNIT3D.

• An artisan package to import a XBTIT database into UNIT3D.
• An artisan package to import a Gazelle database into UNIT3D.
• An artisan package to import a U-232 database into UNIT3D.

Support me on patreon

You can support me on patreon if you are enjoying UNIT3D, this really keeps me up for fixing problems and adding new features. Also helps pay for the demo server + domain. Plus some beer to keep me sane.
