I’m kinda new to Docker and I have issues understanding the use of certain containers in the hub.
Initially I thought I could just pull the container and run it so I have the exact same setup like the creator. But there seems to be other things you have to consider before running it.
Currently I’m trying to setup the following container https://hub.docker.com/r/wonderfall/rtorrent-flood .
It’s the most popular flood container but there is little to no documentation. I don’t want to ask for help to get this container up and running, I rather want to know how I can find out how to setup such a container.
After running the container I can access its web interface. The web interface tells me its unable to connect to rtorrent but rtorrent itself is running inside the container. It seems like I have to set something inside the container or start it with a different parameter, but nothing like this seems to be mentioned in the container. After refreshing I can’t login because the “Connection could not be verified.” leaving this application completely unusable.
I have no idea whether this container is just bad or whether I just oversee something. There are so many different articles about those subjects but all of them use different kind of interfaces for Docker so it’s very hard to understand what’s the “right way” is.
My current approach would be to go through the manual install process of rtorrent and flood to see how they are being setup. But that would kinda destroy the purpose of Docker wouldn’t it?
So I would like to know how you guys are handling such issues. How would you install rtorrent-flood?
