I just tried switching to this container from the other Nicotine docker. I had network set to none and the --net=container:OpenVPN-Client parameter set. In the OpenVPN-Client docker I added the port 6080 and 5900 so I can access the UI via VNC and it wont connect. I can access port 6080 but it is not the VNC interface. Container worked fine before I routed the network through OpenVPN. Not sure if I am missing something or misconfigured something.

 

Edited to 6080

Dont mind me, I am an idiot. Fixed it. Reading through the docker hub link I realized I need to use port 6080 to connect via vnc, but need to add the 

/vnc.html?resize=remote&host=<host ip>&port=<host port>&&autoconnect=1

after it. Now I just have 6080 mapped in openvpn just like before.

Glad you got it sorted, i am also sharing networking with privoxyvpn for Nicotine+, its working a treat!, im currently coming up with a ingenious plan to share the assigned incoming port so i can then configure Nicotine+ to use it.

I had this working, but restarted the container when it had locked up and now seems to be stuck "preparing shares" and it's not resolving the issue - every time I restart it, same happens

so whats defined in nicotine/settings/shares? screenshot please

also left click the container select 'edit', change something, change it back to what it was and click apply at the bottom and paste the output text here.

I can't get it to load settings in VNC as it just locks up at this page - the share wheel doesn't spin

OK open the following file with notepad++ or notepad:- /config/home/.config/nicotine/config then look for this line, here is what mine looks like:-
 

shared = [('Dance', '/media/Albums/Dance')]

Paste that line here, I suspect its incorrectly defined and thus nicotine has its knickers in a knot cos it cannot index it to share the files.

shared = [('media', '/media'), ('Nico+', '/data/Nico+')]

 

It seems to boot as I left it for a few hours, it's just very slow & lags a lot/locks up!

so does '/mnt/user/mediashare/torrents/Nico+/Nico+' exist? cos that's what it is in effect by specifying '/data/Nico+', I assume it doesn't and should actually be:-
shared = [('media', '/media'), ('Nico+', '/data')]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but are you planning on VPNifying this like you have other peer to peer apps?

it does, yes I moved it to try and solve something

OK, i was just checking.

 

Also do keep in mind you have in effect shared your entire array, as you have set:-

('media', '/media'

And as /media is pointing at /mnt/user/ that is all user shares, if i did this in Nicotine i can guarantee it would either stop working due to sheer volume of content to index or would take days/weeks to index, thus i think this is the reason for your - 'it's just very slow & lags a lot/locks up!', i would recommend only sharing what you REALLY want to share, or at the very least share it in media type chunks e.g. /media/Movies, /media/TV, /media/Music etc.

 

EDIT - Actually I'm talking bollox, you have specified /media as /mnt/user/Music (could of sworn it was set to /mnt/user), so that SHOULD be fine, how large a music collection do you have in Gigabytes? for reference i am currently sharing around 130 GB and so far have not observed any slow down or lock outs, the media share index scan took about 30 mins. 

@binhex, I get the following error/note/warning from N+, and it doesn't start.

It stays at the following message:

 

You need to specify a username and password before connecting…

 

What can I do? I don't see in the template any username password field.

Thanks in advance!

Same here, I have a bunch of your images running and Deluge + PIA autoconfiguring ports is just so cool.

 

Should I make this docker go though the delugevpn docker. It will not automagically use the port of the vpn docker isn't it?

 

Thanks a lot for your work BinHex ♥️

are you guys not seeing the wizard on initial startup of nicotine+ where it asks you to create a username and password? screenshots from the container:-


so basically enter in whatever username and password you like, obviously you will need to have a unique username that is not already in use and you should be good!.

i am doing just this, routing nicotine+ network through privoxyvpn, but you could use any of my vpn images to do this, and yep at present there is no mechanism to get the assigned incoming port, but i am working on a cunning plan to pass the info so you can see what the port is set to.

In a word, no, instead network sharing is where I'm trying to go with any future docker images, maintaining VPN enabled docker images is hard work so i would prefer to keep the workload as light as possible and leverage existing VPN connectivity instead, as mentioned above I am working on a solution to read in the incoming port from a VPN enabled docker container, the tricky part is reconfiguring Nicotine+ when the port changes.

I have it running with networking through GluetunVPN container, and when I open the web ui I get the following in plain text.

 

RFB 003.003

�������Too many security failures

 

Nothing more nothing less.

I also added the 5900 port through GluetunVPN.

But still get the error as stated above...

Okay what VPN container do you support?

Mine :-), DelugeVPN, qBittorrentVPN, SABnzbdVPN, PrivoxyVPN, so any of those, if you only want a simple tunnel with the added bonus of proxy and socks server built in then go for PrivoxyVPN.

I forwarded it through my binhex-qBittorrentVPN container, and when opening local url 192.168.x.x:5900/6080, or cloudflare url it gives me now the following error: The connection has timed out.

In the log now the warning:
