⁠Aria2 Docker Image with RPC Enabled

This Docker image provides an instance of the Aria2 download manager with Remote Procedure Call (RPC) enabled. Aria2 is a lightweight and versatile command-line-based download utility that supports downloading files from various protocols, such as HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. By using this Docker image, you can easily set up and manage a centralized Aria2 server with RPC capabilities.

⁠Features

• Aria2 version: 1.36 (Build with docker image and may change)
• Lightweight and efficient download manager
• Supports various protocols and file types
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC) enabled for remote management
• Easy setup and configuration with Docker
• Support for environment variables for configuration

⁠Usage

To use this Docker image, you need to have Docker installed on your system. If you don't have Docker installed, you can follow the instructions here⁠ to install Docker.

⁠Pull the Docker Image

To pull the Aria2 Docker image from the Docker Hub, run the following command:

docker pull ph4r5h4d/aria2-docker

⁠Start the Aria2 Container

Once you have pulled the Docker image, you can start the Aria2 container with the following command:

docker run -d --name aria2 \
    -p 6800:6800 \
    -v [INSERT CONFIGURATION PATH]:/root/.aria2 \
    ph4r5h4d/aria2-docker:latest

Make sure to replace the placeholders:

• Optional: [INSERT CONFIGURATION PATH] with the path on the host machine where the Aria2 configuration files will be stored (e.g., /opt/aria2-config)

⁠Access the Aria2 RPC Interface

Once the container is running, you can access the Aria2 RPC interface via container's port 6800.

⁠Configuring Aria2

To customize the Aria2 configuration, you can modify the aria2.conf file located in the aria2/aria2.conf on the host machine and mount it as a volume inside the docker container or build your own custom image. This file contains various settings that control the behavior of Aria2. Configuration via environment variable will come later.
