rTorrent (with FloodUI) OpenVPN integrated

Docker container for rTorrent + FloodUI with integrated OpenVPN client.

It is based on the latest CentOS docker image:

• https://hub.docker.com/_/centos

What does this image?

The container connects at startup during the boot process to the OpenVPN service of your choice. After the OpenVPN client connected successfully, the rTorrent and FloodUI service will startup.

Install instructions

Important

Login: Torrent:Torrent Connect: 127.0.0.1:5000

In case it doesn't auto connect....

OpenVPN configuration

Prepare an OpenVPN configuration of your choice. Usually, VPN providers will give you .ovpn files, with configuration for a server. Edit them to add the following code before the <> tags:

auth-user-pass /config/vpn/vpn.auth

up /usr/bin/up.sh
down /usr/bin/down.sh
log-append /config/vpn/openvpn.log
script-security 2

You can put your VPN credentials in the vpn.auth file, and should be good to go!

An automated login by username/password is also possible with the "user-pass-auth" parameter in the client.conf

Should no configuration be present at the first run, an example config will be deployed at the mounted /config folder which can be edited.

The OpenVPN service will be verified every 60s. If it's not running anymore it will restart the connection.

Deploy the docker container

To get the docker up and running execute fhe following command:

In the PTS UI for Community Apps select "rflood-openvpn"

If not done already, deploy or modify the OpenVPN client.conf at /opt/appdata/rflood-openvpn/vpn

docker restart rtorrent-flood-openvpn

Verify OpenVPN status

In "/opt/appdata/rflood-openvpn/my-external-ip.txt" the current external ip address can be found. The file will be updated every 60s.

Sonarr Support

You can use Sonarr with this client as well. Configure your Sonarr with the following params:

Name: rflood-openvpn
Enable: Yes
Host: rflood-openvpn
Port: 80
Username & Password: empty

Configuration files

Several configuration files will be deployed to the mounted /config folder:

Folder	Description
flood/*	flood default db / user file
rtorrent/*	rtorrent.rc, session data, *.torrent files, etc.
vpn/*	vpn default config / user config
