gogurt

Light responsive rtorrent web-gui

Uses JWT for authentication, and will generate a new key (and password) on each launch, if not provided on the command line.

The server part only serves the webresources and acts as a REST server, which allows to implement any WebUI/control apps/scripts on top.
