UNIT3D is a private torrent tracker built using Laravel, Livewire and AlpineJS.
UNIT3D is a full-featured private torrent tracker platform built on Laravel 12, Livewire, and AlpineJS. It handles the complete tracker lifecycle: announces, peer tracking, ratio enforcement, a request/fill system, staff moderation, a bonus point economy, and a media hub with TMDB integration. If you want to run a private tracker, this is the most complete open-source option in PHP.
The announce pipeline is properly architected with DTOs, buffered peer upserts via scheduled commands, and strict mode MySQL compliance — the kind of correctness that most hobby trackers skip and then regret. The staff tooling is unusually deep: mass email, mass PM, watchlists, cheat detection, IP blocking, audit logs, and granular group/permission management are all there. Livewire components cover almost every interactive surface, which means the reactive UI is plain PHP rather than a separate JS build you'd have to maintain. CI covers Larastan static analysis, PHPUnit, asset compilation, Prettier for Blade files, and a schema dump check — more than most Laravel projects bother with.
The official installation script is currently gone ('no longer available at this time, a new one will be provided soon'), which is a real problem for anyone trying to set up a new instance today — you're on your own reading the code. The support model charges a fee just to join the Discord, which is an unusual gate for an open-source project and will frustrate operators who hit a problem at 2am. The achievement system is implemented as ~90 individual PHP files counting up to 900 in multiples of 100, which is the most mechanical kind of code expansion — adding a new milestone means adding three more files. Meilisearch is required for full-text torrent and people search, adding an operational dependency that the docs don't make obvious upfront.
