^^ I think that the above was caused by a corrupted Docker folder, not by binhex-deluge. I removed the old Docker folder and reinstalled apps and this problem no longer occurs.

Hey all. I am having an issue with the deluge docker daemon constantly crashing. I can restart it, but it only lasts like 30 seconds before it dies again. I rebooted the server, and it didn't change anything. The docker run command finishes successfully.

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. 

After working for a day, Deluge suddenly doesn't fully startup. I can't tie it down to any particular setting I've changed. The log files only show the below. I have given it at least 10 minutes or so but never becomes accessible. I checked and there aren't any sort of port conflicts and I don't have anything like running multiple segments on my network. Anything I can possibly check into to get insight on the error?

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I watched Space Invaders video on setting up. Tailscale with glutenVPN and deluge. I am able to use the gluten container as a network and exit node for the Firefox docker. However, I cannot get the deluge docker to download anything. I get to the part where it'll recognize that there's a connection and peers, but nothing downloads. It kind of starts and then just stalls and then stops. So in summary the Gluetun container works fine as a network for dockers other than Binhex Deluge. 

 

 

Please note this container now has built in gluetun support, please see Q9:- https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/unraid.md

Looks like when this updated to version 2.2 it was using PPA? I am not sure what that means but some torrent sites are banning this client because of this source. Any work arounds other than force the torrent site to approve the client?

It's been a couple of months, and most of the torrent sites that are private have approved 2.2.0 by now. Not sure where you're torrenting, but I would go to their forums if they have one, and find the technical support/call-in section, and there is probably a thread for approving a new version.

Torrent trackers do whitelists, not blacklists, so it has to be "inspected" in whatever method they do...

Seems really odd, but if you want what could only be said is extremely bad advice, you can change the Peer ID in ltConfig

I have Deluge running on one of my servers, but want to install a second instance on a different server.

The first obstacle is the daemon port; I don't believe it can be the same (58846) as the existing installation. Unless I've added port forward rules to my router that weren't necessary. It's very likely... ;)

And the incoming TCP/UDP ports; do they have to be different than the existing install? If yes, the value on the "Container Port" line cannot be edited. Is changing the Host Port and Default Value enough for each configuration?

Thanks!

@binhex Was curious if you got around to what I posted for additions. My geoip.dat continues to run strong and with 0 downtime so if you want to integrate it directly it could provide a good addition.

Sorry i couldnt find any reference to including geoip in the image in this support thread, are you on about these changes?:- https://forums.unraid.net/topic/44109-support-binhex-delugevpn/page/429/#findComment-1575213

This is the post; there is a code block there with the geoip code I am referring to.

I was able to fix this by using the ltConfig plugin and changing the peer_fingerprint setting to "-DE220s-" and then enabling the "apply setting on startup" option.

Im using the binhex-deluge container and trying to get autoremove-torrents to work. Im able to clone the git to a scripts folder and run the install.py successfully(since pip isnt installed). However when trying to run the program I get errors over missing modules like yaml,requests,deluge_client, ect. From what i was able to theorize myself it seems the installer is not being given permission to install its dependencies or something. Or maybe has todo with it being installed in an externally managed environment as is the error I get when installing python-pip and using pip to install the package.
Is there a method to add a package during docker compose like with the docker mods option from linuxserver's containers? Or maybe another method i might have missed. Ideally i'd like this app to be installed automatically whenever there is an update.

I'm using autoremove plugin which can be installed through deluge interface.

AutoRemovePlus-0.6.3.egg

I. Used that before but it stopped working with the newer versions of deluge. So I had to look for an alternative

Which newer version of deluge?
If we talk about latest binhex-deluge docker then it still works without any problems.

Secondly, IF you want an alternative (which I personally use for binhex-qbittorrent) You should check:
1. https://github.com/jerrymakesjelly/autoremove-torrents
2. https://autoremove-torrents.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

That is the script I have been using. But it's not been working since I switched to binhex-deluge(it had worked with binhex-delugevpn tho which is strange).

There's no pip in binhex containers and using the git clone option and installing doesn't seem to install the dependencies.

Im not sure how did You install this script. Because I have just created a docker container for this script with compose manager and here is my code which I've pasted there.

services:
  autoremove-torrents:
    image: ghcr.io/nelsondane/autoremove-torrents:${VERSION:-latest}
    container_name: autoremove-torrents
    environment:
      CRON_SCHEDULE: "${CRON_SCHEDULE:-0 * * * *}"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/user/appdata/autoremove-torrents/config.yml:/app/config.yml
      - /mnt/user/appdata/autoremove-torrents/logs:/app/logs
    restart: unless-stopped

of course at first You have to create config.yml

I was trying to install it from within binhex deluge docker since I don't need it to update all that much. So I didn't see the need for another container.

But i think il just use another container that allows me to add the package to the compose file and just add a simple script to monitor and update my vpn port like binhex did automatically.

If You want any assist in my person to make it work, dont hesitate, and ping me. :)

@rogales i run mine from a virtual venv on the host machine, installing it in the arch base is a bit of a hassle and doesn't gain you much of any benefit

@ambipro Just to give you an update on this image, i will releasing a new version shortly, this will include libtorrent v1 tagged variant, inclusion of the latest geoip database and also inclusion of the Itconfig plugin for quick tuning optimisations.

I am maintaining the ltConfig plug, i left a link to it in the delugevpn thread for the latest .egg build you can download, when you mention the latest GeoIP, are you referencing from my geoIP page? https://geo.el0.org ? that updates every 3 days and if you recall I gave you code to check the age and resnatch the updated version

edit: https://github.com/zakkarry/deluge-ltconfig - taken over maintenance and have my own special profile in this latest version I'd recommend for most high performance gbit+ seeding servers (description of changed settings can be found https://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?t=56921)

Yep i spotted your post and i am pulling in the egg from the release of that github repo.

Awesome, I left the default profiles but added my own profile that's sightly more up to date with current connection speeds and hardware, would recommend it to most, particularly dedicated seedboxes, I frequently hit above 350MB/s upload while hitting nearly 200MB/s down at the same time with it.

Should be a good addition, also there's an updated stats plugin which last I checked you nuked - but can be included for compatibility - you can find our build https://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?p=236443#p236443
