help trying to get this working in docker

[hugalafutro]

Hi, I use linuxserver/deluge in docker and am trying to enable this plugin.

I followed the same procedure as when installing WebAPI plugin which works, i.e. I copied the egg to the plugins subdir, enabled it in webui and it worked. The WebAPI egg was 3.6 too which is why I had hoped this would work too.

Trying to the same with DefaultTrackers makes it seem everything works, I can click it, but when I close the configuration dialog and reopen it it's disabled.

In logs I can only see these:

pia_deluge  | 14:57:03 [DEBUG   ][deluge.pluginmanagerbase   :116 ] Found plugin: DefaultTrackers 0.2 at /config/plugins/DefaultTrackers-0.2-py3.6.egg
pia_deluge  | 14:58:07 [DEBUG   ][deluge.ui.web.json_api     :202 ] json-request: b'{"method":"web.get_plugin_info","params":["DefaultTrackers"],"id":48}'
pia_deluge  | 14:58:07 [DEBUG   ][deluge.ui.web.json_api     :202 ] json-request: b'{"method":"core.enable_plugin","params":["DefaultTrackers"],"id":49}'

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Check your Python3 version with python3 --version.

Also, what Deluge interface are you using?

[hugalafutro]

it's this image https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-deluge and I connect to it using webui

inside the container:

root@805ec1739f00:/# python3 --version
Python 3.6.9

This plugin doesn't have WebUI support.

It seems like the "six" python package version in the image (1.11.0) doesn't fit the requirement of this plugin (six>=1.12), the following steps are how I manage it to work, hope this helps.

Since there's no pip installed in this image, so we need to manually install the package.

1. Run a shell in the docker container.
   docker exec -w /tmp -it <container name or id> bash

2. Download the latest six package from PyPI.
   curl -sSLO https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/6b/34/415834bfdafca3c5f451532e8a8d9ba89a21c9743a0c59fbd0205c7f9426/six-1.15.0.tar.gz

3. Extract the tar file.
   tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions -xf six-1.15.0.tar.gz

4. Install the package.
   cp -r six-1.15.0/six.egg-info/ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six-1.15.0.egg-info/ && cp six-1.15.0/six.py /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/

5. Remove the old one.
   rm -rf /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six-1.11.0.egg-info/

6. Exit shell and restart container.

Thanks @36web presumably I'll have to do this every time the image updates, but it is a solution.

[arabcoders]

you can make a Dockerfile build like this so you dont have to run this every time

FROM ghcr.io/linuxserver/deluge

RUN curl -sSLO https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/6b/34/415834bfdafca3c5f451532e8a8d9ba89a21c9743a0c59fbd0205c7f9426/six-1.15.0.tar.gz
RUN tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions -xf six-1.15.0.tar.gz
RUN cp -r six-1.15.0/six.egg-info/ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six-1.15.0.egg-info/ && cp six-1.15.0/six.py /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/
RUN rm -rf /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six-1.11.0.egg-info/

and you can have a docker-compose.yaml like this

version: "3.8"

services:
  deluge:
    build: .
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
      - DELUGE_LOGLEVEL=info
    volumes:
      - /var/config/deluge:/config
      - /downloads/torrents:/downloading
      - /downloads/completed:/completed

@arabcoders many thanks for that! That's gonna make life a lot easier while keeping everything as is.
