⁠What is Deluge?

From deluge.org⁠:

⁠How to use these images

The images do not require any external Docker networks, volumes, environment variables, or arguments and can be run with just:

docker run \
    --detach \
    --interactive \
    --name deluge \
    --user $(id -u):$(id -g)
    --volume /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    --env UMASK_SET=022 \
    --publish 8112:8112 \
    --publish 58846:58846 \
    j33r/deluge:latest

And accessed through the web UI at http://localhost:8112⁠ with the default⁠ username localclient and password deluge.

You can also access through the Gtk client⁠ on localhost port 58846 for this you will need to set allow_remote to true in the config/core.conf file and add a new user⁠ myuser:mypassword:10 in the config/auth file.

Always stop the container before modify your config files otherwise they will not be saved

⁠Volume mounts

Due to the ephemeral nature of Docker containers these images provide a number of optional volume mounts to persist data outside of the container:

• /config: the Deluge config directory containing core.conf
• /torrents/seed: the default download location
• /torrents/leech: the default incomplete download location
• /torrents/.watch: the default autoadd torrent location

docker run \
    --detach \
    --interactive \
    --name deluge \
    --user $(id -u):$(id -g)
    --volume ${HOME}/deluge/torrents:/torrents \
    --volume ${HOME}/deluge/config:/config
    --volume /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    --env UMASK_SET=022 \
    --publish 8112:8112 \
    --publish 58846:58846 \
    j33r/deluge:latest

You should create directory before run the container otherwise directories are created by the docker deamon and owned by the root user

⁠Environment variables

To change the timezone of the container set the TZ environment variable. The full list of available options can be found on Wikipedia⁠.

⁠Docker Compose

docker-compose⁠ can help with defining the docker run config in a repeatable way rather than ensuring you always pass the same CLI arguments.

Here's an example docker-compose.yml config:

version: "3"
services:
  deluge:
    image: deluge:latest
    container_name: deluge
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: 1000:1000
    environment:
      - UMASK_SET=022
      - TZ=Europe/Paris
    ports:
      - 8112:8112
      - 58846:58846
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./torrents:/torrents
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
