Bitmagnet Allows People to Run Their Own Decentralized Torrent Indexer Locally
Another alternative is https://github.com/the8472/mldht which, contrary to magnetico, strives to be a nice citizen (its author is active in the bittorrent community AFAIU)

Bitmagnet: A self-hosted BitTorrent indexer, DHT crawler, and torrent search
Oh, I already have implemented something[0] like that. It doesn't need lambdas or anything "cloud scale" like that. You "just" need a few dozen to a hundred IP addresses assigned to one machine and run a multi-homed DHT node on that to passively observe traffic from multiple points in the keyspace.
But neither of these approaches is what I'd call a "super simple DHT crawler CLI tool" that the initial comment was asking about. BEP51 is intended to make crawling simple enough that it can run on a single home internet connection, but a proper implementation still isn't trivial.

Bitmagnet: A self-hosted BitTorrent indexer, DHT crawler, and torrent search
This is really neat. I'll need to check it out. A couple years ago I ran my own instance of Magnetico (https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico), but this project looks a lot more polished.

DHT crawler
This is likely your best bet, but I'd recommend you use postgres over sqlite, this is however where development died so some features like search or stats aren't implemented while using pg as the db.

Why isn't distributed/decentralized archiving currently used?
You can create decentralized bittorrent indexers though (see https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico as an example)! This means you can search for bittorrent files without having to rely on a centralized service (although building the index does require some time & storage space of course).

Ask HN: I've Built a DHT Torrent Sniffer and Search Engine. Should I Release?
https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico
Someone else did this a while back, universe continues to exist.

I just get a rickroll gif on your link. Did you mean this project?

Self Hosted Open Source Torrent Scraper!
Although I admit, that I would love to see a maintained DHT search solution (like magnetico or dhtcrawler2).

Magnetico / Docker question
Yeah, you probably found it. Abandoned, yes, but not necessarily unfinished.
- What is the best local DHT search engine?
- What does a 'good' GitHub page like? (Q for the Professionals)

I2P applications wish list?
A magnet search is easy enough to self-host, I can provide you with instructions to self-host a clearnet magnet search engine over I2P in the meantime, but you can probably figure it out from this: https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico which is an easy to self-host DHT search engine.
