[Rutorrent](https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent) is a popular rtorrent client with a webui for ease of use.

## Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as `x86-64`, `arm64` and `armhf`. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/). 

Simply pulling `linuxserver/rutorrent` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

| Architecture | Tag |
| :----: | --- |
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v7-latest |


## Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

### docker

```
docker create \
  --name=rutorrent \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -p 80:80 \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  -p 51413:51413 \
  -p 6881:6881/udp \
  -v </path/to/rutorrent/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/rutorrent/downloads>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/rutorrent
```


### docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

```yaml
---
version: "2"
services:
  rutorrent:
    image: linuxserver/rutorrent
    container_name: rutorrent
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - </path/to/rutorrent/config>:/config
      - </path/to/rutorrent/downloads>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 5000:5000
      - 51413:51413
      - 6881:6881/udp
    restart: unless-stopped
```

## Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.

### Ports (`-p`)

| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `80` | ruTorrent Web UI |
| `5000` | scgi port |
| `51413` | Bit-torrent port |
| `6881/udp` | Bit-torrent port |


### Environment Variables (`-e`)

| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |

### Volume Mappings (`-v`)

| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | where ruTorrent should store it's config files |
| `/downloads` | path to your downloads folder |



## User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:

```
  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
```

## Application Setup

Webui can be found at `<your-ip>:80` , configuration files for rtorrent are in /config/rtorrent, php in config/php and for the webui in /config/rutorrent/settings.

`Settings, changed by the user through the "Settings" panel in ruTorrent, are valid until rtorrent restart. After which all settings will be set according to the rtorrent config file (/config/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc),this is a limitation of the actual apps themselves.`

** Important note for unraid users or those running services such as a webserver on port 80, change port 80 assignment **

`** It should also be noted that this container when run will create subfolders ,completed, incoming and watched in the /downloads volume.**`

** The Port Assignments and configuration folder structure has been changed from the previous ubuntu based versions of this container and we recommend a clean install **

Umask can be set in the /config/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc file by changing value in `system.umask.set`

If you are seeing this error `Caught internal_error: 'DhtRouter::get_tracker did not actually insert tracker.'.` , a possible fix is to disable dht in `/config/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc` by changing the following values.

```shell
dht = disable
protocol.pex.set = 0
```

If after updating you see an error about connecting to rtorrent in the webui,
remove or comment out these lines in /config/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc ,whatever value is set, yes or no.
Just setting them to no will still cause the error..

```
use_udp_trackers = yes
peer_exchange = yes
```
