cheungpat/mldonkey repository overview

⁠mldonkey docker image

This repository host the Dockerfile for building mldonkey docker image.

⁠Usage

To run mldonkey using this image:

$ docker run -i -t cheungpat/mldonkey

You may change the admin password by using the comand useradd admin <password, or you can specify MLDONKEY_ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable with a password:

$ docker run -i -t -e MLDONKEY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=supersecret cheungpat/mldonkey

mldonkey stores data inside /var/lib/mldonkey. You may want to mount the data directory to local filesystem. Doing this will persist the data when you re-create the docker container. It is also easier to get downloaded files this way.

$ docker run -i -t -v "`pwd`/data:/var/lib/mldonkey" cheungpat/mldonkey

Your data will be available under data/incoming directory where you run the docker run command.

⁠Notes for Docker for Mac

mldonkey does not like the temp directory to reside in Mac filesystem. It is better to mount /var/lib/mldonkey/temp inside the Docker VM filesystem.

The included docker-compose.yml set up everything for you. To run in Docker for Mac,

$ docker-compose up
