uTorrent is the world most popular BitTorrent client. It’s available to the Ubuntu server with webUI. I have containerized the uTorrent web UI client using docker.

If yout want to setup uTorrent Web UI client directly on your Ubuntu VPS server please follow my another Github repository: utorrent-server

Prerequisites

• Docker Engine
• Manage Docker as a non-root user for Linux
• Docker Compose (Optional: only required if you want to run with docker-compose)

Build

docker build -t utorrent:latest .

Run

docker run -d \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    -p 6881:6881 \
    -p 6881:6881/udp \
    -v $(pwd)/downloads:/torrent/downloads \
    -v $(pwd)/torrentfiles:/torrent/torrentfiles \
    utorrent:latest

Run - Docker Compose

You can also build and run container by using Docker Compose. In that case skip previous build and run steps.

docker-compose up -d
