What webuser are you using when logging into rutorrent?
I found that the default admin account has different settings than my custom made user account. This admin account is used during container startup, see below and here is the autotools code: https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent/blob/97d5dc60febb9d8c6e5384a0a0d8fec3e4fa10cf/php/initplugins.php#L122
You can find autotools.dat in this confusing path inside config folder: \rtorrent\rutorrent\share\users\user\settings
@binhex I did find a container breaking bug related to the default admin user, when the WEBUI_USER is supplied and this initplugins line :
execute = {/bin/bash,-c,/usr/bin/sleep 10s && /usr/bin/php /usr/share/webapps/rutorrent/php/initplugins.php admin &}
It's is hardcoded as a default of 'admin' for the webuser, and also in /home/nobody/initplugins.sh uses 'admin'.
I'm not sure if it's a container bug or a rutorrent bug, but when that user is non-existent it breaks all downloads as I removed admin from my auth file, previously discussed in this thread.
I had removed the default admin account for security, and found my downloads all would download correctly, then fail when autotools tried to move them with a mysterious error that took a weekend to track down to the above lines.
The files would become filled with null bytes after the error, and I am glad I caught it before more files were destroyed.
