Deluge

Bittorrent downloader.

Ports

Files

Docker Creation

If first-run, just launch the docker container to generate the correct configuration directory structure, afterwards you can re-create with mapped directories.

The UID/GID should be set to a user/group that have access to your media. All media clients should run under the same user to run correctly.

Docker Compose

deluge:
  image: linuxserver/deluge:latest
  restart: unless-stopped
  ports:
    - "49160:49160"
    - "49160:49160/udp"
  environment:
    - PGID=1001
    - PUID=1001
    - TZ=America/Los_Angeles
  volumes:
    - /data/downloads/watched:/watch
    - /data/downloads:/data/downloads
    - /data/services/deluge:/config
    - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

Note

Port 49160 needs to be exposed for transfers.

Reverse Proxy Setup

Allows you to isolate your containers as well as wrap connections in SSL. See NGINX for more details. See Setup Base Proxy Control for basic proxy configuration.

Using Subdomains

0644 root root nginx/conf.d/reverse-proxy.conf

server {
  listen                       443 ssl http2;
  server_name                  deluge.{DOMAIN} deluge;

  location / {
    proxy_pass                 http://deluge:8112;
    include                    /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy-control.conf;
    add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
  }
}

See subdomain reference.

Using Subpaths

0644 root root nginx/conf.d/reverse-proxy.conf

server {
  location /deluge {
    proxy_pass                     http://deluge:8112/;
    include                        /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy-control.conf;
    proxy_set_header X-Deluge-Base '/deluge/';
    add_header X-Frame-Options     SAMEORIGIN;
  }
}

See subpath reference.

Deluge must be connected to the Daemon to write configuration changes. Ensure you select Connect on Connection Manager.

Required changes to minimally secure your configuration.
