issue connecting to rutorrent

[mpk99]

hi there -- used this script before with qbitorrent, but moving to rutorrent. I'm running this docker container:

https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-rtorrent-rutorrent

but i can't figure out how to connect to it: i tried what was suggested here:

#29 (comment)

but it just gives me a 401 error when trying to runt the test connection command.

Hopefully somebody can help?

thx

It can't connect to rutorrent, only rtorrent directly.

k. well I guess how can I get it to point to my torrent instance? I can't figure out where to find the proper values?

With that rtorrent setup it is probably not that easy. The container you're looking at is designed to not expose rtorrent directly (because it can be insecure).

The setting you need into .rtorrent.rc is found here: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/blob/1da0e3476dcabbf74b2e836d6b4c37b4d96bde09/doc/rtorrent.rc#L126
It has to listen to something like 0.0.0.0 and NOT be exposed directly to the internet.

e.g. network.scgi.open_port = "0.0.0.0:5000" then autotorrent can reach rtorrent on port 5000.

any way to connect through socket rather than scgi port ?
