About TorrServer

TorrServer is a torrent streaming server. You run it on your own machine or in Docker, add a torrent, and it serves the files over HTTP so a media player can start playing them while pieces are still being fetched.

The repository includes a web interface, Docker files and a Nix flake, and has an active history of more than 2,500 commits. It suits people who want to watch torrent content on TVs or players that cannot run a torrent client themselves.

Strengths

  • Streams torrent media over plain HTTP to any player
  • Docker image and Nix flake for deployment
  • Includes a web interface
  • Actively developed

Limitations

  • Needs a machine to host the server
  • Documentation is aimed at users comfortable with self-hosting
