Add rutorrent discovery?

Piero512 commented 3 years ago

Hey!

I've been thinking about how some people might configure rutorrent using a RPI or similar devices on their home and access it through port forward or ssh tunneling services like remote.it and I was wondering maybe we should add a discovery helper. Also, since it seems like rTorrent & rutorrent is very much user-configured, we could add some instructions to set a permanent announcement through Avahi xml files.

We would need to agree on:

a service type
a sample xml to announce the service through Avahi
maybe some TXT records that might help the app discover the app correctly (maybe add TXT records to set ~the protocol you want to access~ if the server uses http or https, a public URL where this server might be accessed, or anything else, really).

I could write a sample PR that adds this discovery through the setup interface, but comments are welcome.

I am working on some light additions in #77, so you can check for it.

@Piero512 The project has been updated extensively in the last 2 years (check wiki for more info). The default branch is now the "main" branch. Let me know if you are still interested in working on this in the latest version.

Hi.

I believe I did this because I was trying to enter into the GSoC but I ended up too busy. Anyways, if this is a feature that the leadership of this project would like to develop, as I stated in my first post, we should agree on

Service Type eg: _rutorrent._tcp
TXT records for any extra functionality.
