"How do I get started with Node?" is a commonly heard question in #Node.js. This gist is an attempt to compile some of the answers to that question. It's a perpetual work-in-progress.

And if this list didn't quite answer your questions, I'm available for tutoring and code review! A donation is also welcome :)

Setting expectations

Before you get started learning about JavaScript and Node.js, there's one very important article you need to read: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years.

Understand that it's going to take time to learn Node.js, just like it would take time to learn any other specialized topic - and that you're not going to learn effectively just by reading things, or following tutorials or courses. _Get out there and build things!

The Setup

This is a docker-compose file for a simple, secure torrent setup. It includes [rTorrent] (a torrent client), [flood] (a web interface for rTorrent), [OpenVPN] (to tunnel traffic through your ISP) and a simple iptables firewall to allow rTorrent to only access the internet through a VPN.

To run everything, put your open vpn configuration file in ./vpn.ovpn and the other configuration files from this gist in a directory then go to that
