*Towards making Bittorrent anonymous and impossible to shut down.*
Towards making Bittorrent anonymous and impossible to shut down.

We use our own dedicated Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading.
We implemented and enhanced the `Tor protocol specifications <https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki/Anonymous-Downloading-and-Streaming-specifications>`_.
Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based
seeding and `end-to-end encryption <https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki/Anonymous-Downloading-and-Streaming-specifications>`_.
👉 `Download the Latest Release <https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/releases/latest>`__ 👈

Tribler aims to give anonymous access to content. We are trying to make privacy, strong cryptography, and authentication the Internet norm.

For the past 11 years we have been building a very robust Peer-to-Peer system.
Today Tribler is robust: "the only way to take Tribler down is to take The Internet down" (but a single software bug could end everything).

setting up a Tribler development environment.

* `Linux <http://tribler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/development_on_linux.html>`__
* `Windows <http://tribler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/development_on_windows.html>`__
* `macOS <http://tribler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/development_on_osx.html>`__

Docker support
=================

Dockerfile is provided with the source code which can be used to build the docker image.

To build the docker image:

.. code-block:: bash

docker build -t triblercore/triblercore:latest .
We implemented `our own enhanced Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading <https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki/Anonymous-Downloading-and-Streaming-specifications>`_, with hidden services based
seeding and end-to-end encryption.

Since 2004, we have been working to ensure that "the only way to take Tribler down is to take The Internet down" (but a single software bug could end everything).

To run the built docker image:
Socials, Support and Contribution
=================================

.. code-block:: bash
Want to hang out with other Tribler users?

docker run -p 20100:20100 --net="host" triblercore/triblercore:latest
- Join our |discord| !

Note that by default, the REST API is bound to localhost inside the container so to
access the APIs, network needs to be set to host (--net="host").
Have you found a bug or do you have a feature request?

To use the local state directory and downloads directory, the volumes can be mounted:
- If nobody else has already, `open an issue <https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/new>`_!

.. code-block:: bash
Lost in development?

docker run -p 20100:20100 --net="host" -v ~/.Tribler:/state -v ~/downloads/TriblerDownloads:/downloads triblercore/triblercore:latest
- Check out our |docs| for development and building instructions!

----

The REST APIs are now accessible at: http://localhost:20100/docs


**Docker Compose**

Tribler core can also be started using Docker Compose. For that, a `docker-compose.yml` file is available
on the project root directory.

To run via docker compose:

.. code-block:: bash

docker-compose up


To run in detached mode:
