newTrackon

newTrackon is a service to monitor the status and health of existing open and public trackers that anyone can use. It also allows to submit new trackers to add them to the list.

newTrackon is based on the abandoned Trackon by Uriel †.

By default, newTrackon needs IPv4 and IPv6 internet connectivity, and the application won't start without both. Run with arguments --ignore-ipv6 or --ignore-ipv4 to skip this check.

Arguments

run.py [--address ADDRESS] [--port PORT] [--ignore-ipv4] [--ignore-ipv6]

optional arguments:

• --address ADDRESS Address for the flask server
• --port PORT Port for the flask server
• --ignore-ipv4 Ignore newTrackon server IPv4 detection
• --ignore-ipv6 Ignore newTrackon server IPv6 detection

Running

With Docker

Pull the image and create the container with

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 corralpeltzer/newtrackon --address=0.0.0.0

You can now access to the main page opening in your browser http://localhost:8080.
