This is the server side component of GlobaLeaks. It is through this piece of software that the Node Administrator is able to anonymously setup and expose GlobaLeaks Node.

It is implemented based on Twisted (using cyclone) and uses Storm as a database.

Warning This version of software is under heavy development and is not reccommended to be used by anybody.

If you are interested in running a GlobaLeaks node, you should try GlobaLeaks 0.1 the currently "stable" release.

GLBackend is written in Python version 2.7 and is mostly based on twisted. For more informations see requirements.txt
