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 `ghcr.io/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-compose ([recommended](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose)) Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas. ```yaml --- version: "2.1" services: rutorrent: image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/rutorrent container_name: rutorrent environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 volumes: - :/config - :/downloads ports: - 80:80 - 5000:5000 - 51413:51413 - 6881:6881/udp restart: unless-stopped ``` ### docker cli ``` docker run -d \ --name=rutorrent \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -p 80:80 \ -p 5000:5000 \ -p 51413:51413 \ -p 6881:6881/udp \ -v :/config \ -v :/downloads \ --restart unless-stopped \ ghcr.io/linuxserver/rutorrent ``` ## Parameters Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `:` 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 | ## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets) You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`. As an example: ``` -e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword ``` Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file. ## Umask for running applications For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support. ## 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 THIS IMAGE IS DEPRECATED. Please migrate to [crazy-max's image](https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-rtorrent-rutorrent). Webui can be found at `: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.mode.set = disable protocol.pex.set = no ``` 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.. ``` trackers.use_udp.set = yes protocol.pex.set = no ``` To add plugins, create a `plugins` folder in your /config directory and add your plugin folders. Ensure proper user and group ownership is set once you add the directories. To add themes, create a themes folder in your /config directory and add your theme folders. Ensure proper user and group ownership is set once you add the directories. ## Docker Mods [![Docker Mods](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/yaml?color=94398d&labelColor=555555&logoColor=ffffff&style=for-the-badge&label=rutorrent&query=%24.mods%5B%27rutorrent%27%5D.mod_count&url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Flinuxserver%2Fdocker-mods%2Fmaster%2Fmod-list.yml)](https://mods.linuxserver.io/?mod=rutorrent "view available mods for this container.")
