The Tracker is the centerpiece of Archiveteam's distributed archiving efforts. It provides seed points such as usernames, and keeps track of who retrieved what resources.

Hardware

The tracker runs on a Linode 1024 operated by chronomex. The system is tracked by Munin.

Software

alard takes care of making the tracker run happily. The custom software is on GitHub; it uses Redis for a backing store.
