This guide explains the steps required to take a Server Install of Debian to a server running Screen, ProFTPd, IRSSI & rTorrent. It is the most lightweight install you can do & I've found it gives the best speed on torrents. I don't profess to know it all when it comes to Linux, but I've had a few servers & know my way around Linux - I hope this helps some of you.
Please note: This guide does not give you a GUI, it's all CLI (Command Line Interface) based You can do pretty much anything through console & it uses less resources than a GUI install. If possible configure your server to RAID0 for best speeds.
1: Log into your server with PuTTy, username will be root & the password should be provided by your host.
2: Once logged in issue the following commands:
Quote:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
3: Now your system is up-to-date, add your new user with the following command:
Quote:
adduser <username>
4: Debian users need to install 'sudo' & add the new user to the sudoers list:
Quote:
apt-get install sudo
Quote:
visudo
Quote:
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
<username> ALL=(ALL) ALL
CTRL X
Y
5: At this stage you need to login with your new user, so issue the following command:
Quote:
exit
6: Login with your new user & issue the following commands:
Quote:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
7: Now you need to install Screen, IRSSI, ProFTPd & some dependencies:
Quote:
sudo apt-get install screen irssi proftpd build-essential libtool automake openssl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev libsigc++-2.0-0c2a libsigc++-2.0-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libglib2.0-dev libnet-irc-perl libwww-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl subversion
SCREEN allows you to run programs in the background so that you are able to log out of SSH without the program being terminated. IRSSI is a CLI IRC client. ProFTPd is an FTP Daemon, it'll automatically set up the config file so that you can login to your server via FTP with your server username & password.
8: Now you need to make some directories for your downloads etc.
Quote:
mkdir downloads watch .svn
This is the directory naming scheme I use, downloads - stores all downloads, watch - rTorrent auto-starts torrents uploaded here, .svn - Subversion folder, the '.' at the start of the folder means that it's hidden.
9: Now to compile rTorrent, I strongly suggest compiling as you will get the latest version & avoid any bugs in older versions:
Quote:
mkdir -p .svn/rtorrent/
This makes a hidden directory for all of your Subversion installs.
Quote:
cd .svn/rtorrent/
svn co [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
This downloads all of the files required to compile rTorrent.
Quote:
cd trunk
svn up
When you want to install a newer version of rTorrent simply enter the trunk directory & issue 'svn up' then follow the commands below:
Quote:
cd libtorrent
You must install libtorrent before rTorrent!
Quote:
sudo ./autogen.sh && sudo ./configure && sudo make && sudo make install
And when that is complete...
Quote:
cd ../rtorrent
sudo ./autogen.sh && sudo ./configure && sudo make && sudo make install
Once that is complete...
Quote:
cd
sudo ldconfig
10: Now you need to make an .rtorrent.rc file, this file stores the settings that rTorrent will use.
Quote:

11: Copy the above config & paste it into .rtorrent.rc
Quote:
nano .rtorrent.rc
<right mouse button> to paste
CTRL + X
Y
Return
