Nyaa replacement

Motivation

The aim of this project is to write a fully featured nyaa replacement in golang that anyone will be able to deploy locally or remotely.

Requirements

• Golang

Installation

• Install Golang
• go get github.com/ewhal/nyaa
• go build
• Download DB and place it in your root folder named as "nyaa.db"
• ./nyaa
• You can now access your local site over on localhost:9999

Usage

Type ./nyaa -h for the list of options.

Systemd

• Edit the unit file os/nyaa.service to your liking
• Copy the package's content so that your unit file can find them.
• Copy the unit file in /usr/lib/systemd/system
• systemctl daemon-reload
• systemctl start nyaa

The provided unit file uses options directly; if you prefer a config file, do the following:

• ./nyaa -print-defaults > /etc/nyaa.conf
• Edit nyaa.conf to your liking
• Replace in the unit file the options by -conf /etc/nyaa.conf

Docker

We support docker for easy development and deployment. Simply install docker and docker-compose by following the instructions here.

Once you've successfully installed docker, make sure you have the database file in the project's directory as nyaa.db. Then, follow these steps to build and run the application.

# Make sure the project is in here $GOPATH/src/github.com/ewhal/nyaa
$ cd deploy/
# You may choose another backend by pointing to the
# appropriate docker-compose file.
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.sqlite.yml build
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.sqlite.yml up 

Access the website by going to localhost:9999.

For postgres, place the dump in the toplevel directory and name it to nyaa_psql.backup.
