General Overview
The Tracker software is the center-pivot of Archiveteam's distributed archiving efforts. It hands out items to be downloaded and keeps track of what is completed. Items can be usernames, subdomains, full urls, basically any unit we can use to break the site into manageable chunks. The progress of each project can be viewed via the leader board interface on http://tracker.archiveteam.org .
The Warrior is the yang to the Tracker's yin. The warriors get the list of current projects from the project file on http://warriorhq.archiveteam.org/ .
API
This is a sample project snippet from the projects.json file (line breaks included for readability):
{ "name": "streetfiles", "title": "Streetfiles", "description": "Streetfiles is closing April, 30th, 2013.", "repository": "https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/streetfiles-grab.git", "logo": "http://archiveteam.org/images/7/7b/Streetfiles-logo.png", "marker_html": "<a href='http://tracker.archiveteam.org/streetfiles/'> <img src='http://archiveteam.org/images/7/7b/Streetfiles-logo.png' alt='Streetfiles' width='235' height='50' /></a>", "deadline": "2013-04-30T23:59:59Z", "host": "streetfiles.org", "leaderboard": "http://tracker.archiveteam.org/streetfiles/", "lat_lng": [ 51, 9 ] },
It shows where to get the grab code and other project information.
Here is an example root of the file:
{ "auto_project": "projectslug", "broadcast_message": "<p>This message is shown only in the warrior VM web UI at time of writing.</p>", "tracker_banner_html": "This is shown on the tracker front page. <em>Wow!</em>", "warrior": {"seesaw_version":"0.7.0"}, "projects": [], }
Hardware
The tracker runs on a Linode instance operated by chronomex.
Monitoring
http://tracker.archiveteam.org has a Munin instance located at http://zeppelin.xrtc.net/corp.xrtc.net/shilling.corp.xrtc.net/.
Software used:
- Universal Tracker is a Ruby HTTP application that sends and receives JSON payloads and uses Redis for the data store.
- Redis A memory based key value store
- Debian is the Linux distribution the stack is built upon.
- warrior-hq a small Sinatra web app to manage the Warriors and display the geo-location world map.
You can also set up your own tracker.
