Author here. FWIW I wasn't intending this to make it onto HN, having posted about this on Lemmy looking for beta testers. The current version of the app is very much a preview. There's much further work to be done and this will include as far as possible ensuring Bitmagnet is a "good citizen". The suggestions made on the GH issue look largely feasible and I'll get round to looking at them as soon as I can.

The issue and my response on GH: https://github.com/bitmagnet-io/bitmagnet/issues/11

Hey! Don't know if the Github repo or here is the best way to ask since the Discussions on the repo are not active.

I have started the docker-compose.yml file in WSL and it has been running for an hour slowly accumulating a few megabytes of redis data running at about 5% CPU usage. Inspecting it shows magnet links. It appears to be working.

But visiting the the web interface at localhost:3333 just yields "Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:3333." after a 30 second timeout.

Would you have a guess why?
