Bitlove (Web Interface)

The Bitlove web interface is built with Haskell using the Yesod framework. See Bitlove.org for the actual site.

The Yesod project has a little book. For beginners, read Real World Haskell.

Installation (for the less experienced)

You’ll need Haskell, Cabal, PostgreSQL and a UNIX OS. You might want to try the Haskell Platform, available in most package managers.

Some commands need to be adjusted or left off. Start the installation by running the following ones:

initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start
createdb prittorrent

Next get the database setup sql files in your project folder:

wget https://raw.github.com/astro/prittorrent/master/pg_install.sql
wget https://raw.github.com/astro/prittorrent/master/pg_meta.sql
wget https://raw.github.com/astro/prittorrent/master/pg_var.sql
wget https://raw.github.com/astro/prittorrent/master/pg_tracker.sql
wget https://raw.github.com/astro/prittorrent/master/pg_downloads.sql
wget https://raw.github.com/astro/prittorrent/master/pg_stats.sql

Open a shell with psql prittorrent and enter:

CREATE USER prittorrent WITH SUPERUSER PASSWORD '1234';
\i pg_install.sql
-- ignore the tablespace errors
\i pg_imagecache.sql
\q
rm pg_!(imagecache).sql

Compile and run:

cabal update && cabal install --only-dependencies
cabal configure && cabal build
./dist/build/ui/ui Development

Now point your browser to http://localhost:8081/.
