- jMyles 3y agoSure, but I'd like to go beyond magnet links and make it properly decentralized, with the discovery happening in the DHT and torrent swarm.
- anacrolix 3y agoMaybe check out how it's done here: https://archive.org/details/the-fanimatrix-div-x-5.1-hq https://archive.org/details/the-fanimatrix-div-x-5.1-hq. They don't seem to provide magnet links, but basically you create a torrent from your music. Host it somewhere (Cloudflare R2 would be good for free egress) in the right structure. Add the webseed endpoint to your torrent file and create a magnet link. Put all this stuff on a website in the download section. Let your users download it however they want.
- rakoo 3y agoThere is no point in running your own indexer if it's only for your own music though. If your goal is to run a more "communal" indexing point, it also makes sense to build it cooperatively with other artists, listing only content you all care about and want to distribute (rather than doing a filtering after the fact with a general indexer) I like your idea of giving its name back to a technology that just works better, and I think it pairs really well with giving back a humane touch to how we use the internet, computers, and putting people back at the center rather than thinking about tools first !
