A P2P FileSharing framework using BitTorrent, performing as a primary source of data distribution for PyOpenWorm. It began developement in GSoC 19.
My mentors and I aim to integrate within PyOpenWorm a P2P FileSharing framework with features like access control and data integrity checks to ensure the quality of content being shared. Project statement and point of integration
Our highest priority is to have no additional installation steps and minimal user effort to utilize this framework. We want no change to the manner in which PyOpenWorm currently installs, while also not leaving the Command Line Interface(CLI).
Merged code for creating a torrent_file_informational.
Packaged a BitTorrent Client, now available on PyPI. This is its Github repository.
Merged Files for access control features of the framework.
The stand-alone repository for describing the end to end process of the framework, created within OpenWorm.
Made a PR to Subclass DataSourceLoader and implement its load method in BitTorrentDataSourceDirLoader. The setup and access control dependencies of the BitTorrent Client are included alongwith an integration test.
Setup a Ubuntu container with an Elastic IP on AWS , this server is implemented to improve user experience by avoiding required installations needed for seeding contents to BitTorrent.
Merged the documentation for the process of Uploading and Downloading desired contents.
Get the PR for BitTorrentDataSourceDirLoader merged. This has been impeded as some BitTorrent Client dependencies do not support Python 2.7 while PyOpenWorm has a Travis CI Python 2.7 build environment test.
Automate the data integrity checks. The data integrity checks can only be cleared if 100% of the contents are downloaded. Currently the user must execute a command on completion of downloading to ensure that contents are unaltered. [Making the framework increasingly user friendly is a continuous process.]
Currently desired files are uploaded by visiting the Elastic IP of an AWS instance via a browser. This should also be made possible via the Command Line Interface. [Maintaining and improving this server is a continuous process.]
