Luminance VS Torrent-Tracker-Platforms

The only Gazelle fork that's still being publicly developed right now is made by Orpheus. Last release of Empornium's Luminance was made 3 years ago (October 2018) and Oppaitime's Gazelle fork was last updated in January 2020 (linking to a GitHub mirror because the official Git repo has an expired SSL certificate).

If you lack the skills or time to code a few pages of PHP, the path of least resistance is the actively maintained fork of Gazelle https://github.com/Empornium/Luminance

luminance is what I would have used if you'd asked me a year or two ago but development there seems to have stalled too, which is a shame. bringing everything up to standards (php8.0 on the horizon) would be a big undertaking.

In that case, I would shop around different codebases before doing anything else (I’m a big Gazelle fan myself, but everyone I’ve ever worked with says learning PHP is a pain, which makes me a bit hesitant). HDVinnie has a good list here: https://github.com/HDVinnie/Torrent-Tracker-Platforms

https://github.com/HDVinnie/Torrent-Tracker-Platforms currently the easiest to deploy is UNIT3D,

Lazy or unskilled web administrators Most trackers use pre-made software. https://github.com/HDVinnie/Torrent-Tracker-Platforms

This project is for fun. Figured it would be a nice addition to my other three tracker related repos. https://github.com/HDVinnie/Private-Trackers-Spreadsheet https://github.com/HDVinnie/Torrent-Tracker-Platforms https://github.com/HDInnovations/UNIT3D-Community-Edition

"Not so good update. We couldn't get money into the account quick enough (only had 11 days) and lost the domain, I've filled out the form that's currently at the sites address but no response yet. because of the license for the sites code we can't change the domain without paying at templateshares.net but the staff are never there any more so that's never going to happen. the only other option is to migrate the site to a new code base (https://github.com/HDVinnie/Torrent-Tracker-Platforms) which I don't have the skill to do and R [name removed] doesn't have the time to do so we are stuck in a pretty bad spot right now."
