Uploading instructions

I tried to upload a mega-pack, but when I uploaded the .torrent file I got an error saying that it's not a valid torrent file. I created it using ctorrent on Linux. Are there recommendations on creating a torrent file that work better than the method I did?

Ok I believe I've gotten it to work.

Woah tixati is awesome. Created a Dockerfile for it too to run under x11docker if anyone's interested.

Do you happen to know where it saves its config?

I think many were interested to know the details of the Dockerfile implementation. I am using tixati too.

To build, create those files in a single directory, and build using: DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --rm -t tixati .

In order to run it, you need x11-docker. Easily found on github. The script that I use to run it is:

#!/bin/zsh

x11docker \
--share $HOME/Downloads \
--clipboard \
--xpra \
--dbus \
-- --network=container:name_of_container_running_my_vpn_connection --tmpfs=/dev/shm -- \
tixati

Only problem with my set up in Docker is that I don't know where the configs are written to, so each time you run the container, you need to re-setup everything. If I know where it stores it, we can map in the right directory and have the settings persist between runs.

Notes on Tixati portable latest version. Indeed, some of the configuration settings are not saved after rebooting the client. I recommend using older versions of Tixati!
