Dockerized Deluge 1.3.15 thin client

This is so we can connect to Deluge servers/daemons still running on old v1.3.X. It's so old it's likely not available in your distro anymore; likely 'cause old Deluge depends on now-deprecated py 2.7.

Enabling GUI over Docker

Note you need to create your $XAUTH file on host in order to use X11 apps over Docker:

• export XAUTH=$HOME/.docker.xauth
  • note this step needs to be done upon every reboot
• touch $XAUTH
• xauth nlist $DISPLAY | sed -e 's/^..../ffff/' | xauth -f $XAUTH nmerge -

(note this setup is taken from here)

Running

First build image docker build .

Then run:

docker run --rm -d \
  --name deluge \
  -e DISPLAY \
  -e XAUTHORITY=$XAUTH \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ \
  -v $HOME/.config/deluge-1.3.15-seedbox:/home/deluge/.config/deluge \
  -v /data:/data:ro \
  -v $HOME/Downloads/:/downloads \
  -v $XAUTH:$XAUTH \
  <image_id>

Note -v /data:/data:ro is to enable our plugins/ symlink in mounted config dir. You might want to modify the mounted volumes.

If the user permissions are messed up, try explicitly passing -u $(whoami) to try and fix the file permission issues:

docker run --rm -d \
  --name deluge \
  -u $(whoami) \
  -e DISPLAY \
  -e XAUTHORITY=$XAUTH \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ \
  -v $HOME/.config/deluge-1.3.15-seedbox:/home/deluge/.config/deluge \
  -v /data:/data:ro \
  -v $HOME/Downloads/:/downloads \
  -v $XAUTH:$XAUTH \
  <image_id>
