Dtella is a decentralized direct connect hub used for file sharing. Because it's able to restrict file sharing to a specific IP range, Dtella is ideal for usage at low-latency campus networks where upload limits are imposed for external traffic. Open source software for a Virginia Tech Dtella hub is hosted on github. Instructions for other operating systems are available at [1]
Linux Installation Instructions
- Grab the latest snapshot from http://github.com/matthazinski/dtella-vt/
- Untar the source and move to your home directory
$ tar -xzf dtella-vt-*.tar.gz
$ cd dtella-vt-*
$ mkdir ~/.dtella
$ mv <extracted folder>/* ~/.dtella
- Create a script to launch the python script
$ cd ~
$ vim dtella
#!/bin/bash
python2 ~/.dtella/dtella.py &
$ chmod +x dtella
- Install a DC++ client, such as EiskaltDC++. The QT version is recommended, as the GTK version has a known bug when selecting shared directories.
- Launch Dtella by executing
~/.dtella
, then launch your DC++ client and connect to localhost:7314 - You may or may not need to forward ports in order to get traffic through your firewall or router.
