About this container

This container runs the Deluge BitTorrent daemon and web ui. More about Deluge can be found at:

http://deluge-torrent.org/

Building the container

Before building, confirm the DELUGE_VERSION environment variable is the more recent. While not required to build, it will ensure you have the latest version of Deluge.

With that configurtion complete, the following Docker build command will create the container image:

$ docker build -t cturra/deluge .

Running the container:

The following example Docker run command mounts three volumes: 1) the Deluge data directory, (2) download location (for both active/completed and (3) torrent file location.

$ docker run --name=deluge -p 8112:8112 -p 53160:53160 \
  -v /data/deluge:/data:rw -v /data/downloads:/data/downloads:rw \
  -v /data/torrent/deluge:/data/torrents:ro -d cturra/deluge

Testing the container

You should be able to connect to the Deluge web interface with your web browser of choice, which is listening on 8112/tcp by default.

$ curl -I http://localhost:8112

Update the GeoIP(v6) databases:

Deluge ships old version of the (free) GeoIP (v4 and v6) databases. If you'd like to update those, simple ensure your container name maches the CONTAINER variable at the top of the update_geoip_db.sh script and run it. When run, it will download both GeoIP databases from MaxMind and copy them into your Deluge Docker container.

Here is an example run.

$ ./update_geoip_db.sh
 => Downloading IPv4 GeoIP database... done!
 => Downloading IPv6 GeoIP database... done!
 => Extracting and copying databases into container... done!
