!!! warning This is not a complete recipe - it's a component of the AutoPirate "uber-recipe", but has been split into its own page to reduce complexity.

RTorrent / ruTorrent

RTorrent is a popular CLI-based bittorrent client, and ruTorrent is a powerful web interface for rtorrent.

Choose incoming port

When using a torrent client from behind NAT (which swarm, by nature, is), you typically need to set a static port for inbound torrent communications. In the example below, I've set the port to 36258. You'll need to configure /var/data/autopirate/rtorrent/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc with the equivalent port.

Inclusion into AutoPirate

To include ruTorrent in your [AutoPirate][autopirate] stack, include the following in your autopirate.yml stack definition file:

rtorrent:
  image: linuxserver/rutorrent
  env_file : /var/data/config/autopirate/rtorrent.env
  ports:
   - 36258:36258
  volumes:
   - /var/data/media/:/media
   - /var/data/autopirate/rtorrent:/config
  networks:
  - internal
  deploy:
    labels:
      # traefik
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.docker.network=traefik_public

      # traefikv1
      - traefik.frontend.rule=Host:rtorrent.example.com
      - "traefik.http.services.linx.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
      - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.address=http://traefik-forward-auth:4181
      - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.authResponseHeaders=X-Forwarded-User
      - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.trustForwardHeader=true        

      # traefikv2
      - "traefik.http.routers.rtorrent.rule=Host(`rtorrent.example.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.rtorrent.entrypoints=https"
      - "traefik.http.services.rtorrent.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
      - "traefik.http.routers.rtorrent.middlewares=forward-auth"
