PMSS, short of PM Software Stack is a compilation of scripts to manage single server side seedbox configuration, turning instantly and conveniently an regular Debian 8/10 server into a seedbox. Debian 8 support is considered stable, Debian 10 support is considered experimental. It is free to use for anyone, see Installing PM Software Stack.

PMSS supports rTorrent+ruTorrent stack only.

Contents

General features

Primary design goals are reliability and ease of server management.

Using PMSS

See Category:PM Software Stack Guides

Debian 8 notes

Debian 8 support is considered stable, and support for Debian 8 is going to be maintained by estimation until H1 2021. Typical python pip issues still exists, stuff keeps breaking at random intervals with python pip, there is no intent to fix these issues as it is considered wasted work - There is always bound to be showstopper changes with pip, requiring all the installers etc. to be overhauled sometimes weekly. Future version will likely bypass bypass pip completely as pip cannot be relied upon.

Debian 10 notes

Debian 10 support is experimental and not recommended for production yet.

30/11/2015

A privileged user could use an internet download manager to basicly DOS the server with huge amount of threads trying to download large files (gigs in size), with sufficient thread quantity eventually linux kernel couldn't schedule any I/O time for disk nor ram for essential applications such as SSH. This could not be done by unprivileged user since requirement is very large file sizes. This would lead to a race condition as nginx wants to cache as fast as possible, hence "downloading" from user lighttpd process as fast as possible, which results in heavy RAM consumption and 'especially' heavy disk I/O activity - with sufficient threads scheduling breaks down.
