# Etymology
|
|
WolfPack is named for its operation. "Pups" live on disk as .pup files -- these will grow up and retrieve the results that feed the system. An alpha sends pack members to raise a pup and collect the results for the pack. This role will update configuration to [the configuration directory](file:///usr/local/etc/WolfPack).
|
|
|
|
## VPN protection and Offloading.
|
|
Some countries and areas take issue with some searches and downloads. In your Ansible inventory, enable an SSHFS mount and configure your torrent tool to move completed results to that share.
|
|
|
|
This requires SSH keys to be set up between the offloading hosts and the target location, but this will run some version of wolfpack and send the results to the target.

# Relevant Files and Software
|
|
|
|
Most of this tool is built on `curl` -- configuration lives in `/usr/local/etc/WolfPack`.

# Equivalents or Competition
|
|
Google Alerts can provide an alternative to the WolfPack's search pup type. Downloads can be done manually, and some torrent clients will have search and queuing options. Launchers like Steam will keep software up-to-date.
