So we forked this torrent library and build a http server on it. The http server defines its routes to open an endpoint for recieving requests to download torrentfile. The torrentfile is created on an extracted docker image binary. Binaries are created like docker save hello-world > hello_world.tar. Afterwards use the torrent client of your choice to create a torrentfile for it.
The body
{
"download_url" : "https://github.com/Qubit-9/homebrew-taps/releases/download/docker-test/testFile.tar.torrent",
"command" : "hi",
"file_name" : "testFile.tar.torrent"
}
download_url: url to torrentfile to download
command: placeholder for future option to run a command after completed download
file_name: name of torrentfile to download
The download request is handled by the handler library. It executes the torrent downloading and then loads the docker image binary into local registry. Afterwards the docker image is run.
