Is a Docker version planned?

[madmalkav]

I would love to run aMule on my TrueNAS server and control it with aMule GUI from my desktop.

[madmalkav]

I just found the repository at https://github.com/ngosang/docker-amule

[got3nks]

Yes that’s the docker image maintained by @ngosang, one of our team member.

Sorry to reopen that conversation, but I have no real succes of setting amule behind my Traefik. The idea is to secure it and go through traefik for WebInterface. Any ideas ?

[ngosang]

Yes, it's possible. Just route Traefik => aMule Docker TCP 4711

[MoonArrow]

OK thank, will debug my installation as it was my first guess/test and I have a 404. I also removed the 4711& 4712 from the exposed port right ?

[ngosang]

That depends on your setup. You can have both at the same time. Open port in docker container (plain http) + Traefik (https)

[MoonArrow]

OK, sorry but I check several configurations without reaching my goal. The idea is to get the web interface available only throught the Traefik to be handled with letsencrypt and Crowdsec but still have the High ID).
So I remote the 4711 & 4712 from the ports section and add the router to port 4711.

No error logs through docker compose but 404 error when I try to get the interface, router OK on Traefik.

in the container itself, I see msg what tends to prove that everything is OK :

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm not expert in Traefik. I think you should start with a simpler configuration:

1. Just aMule without Traefik => You can login in the Web UI
2. Traefik with HTTP (no Lest's Entrypt, no Crowdsec)
3. Traefick with HTTPS (no Crowdsec)
4. All

[MoonArrow]

OK just to let you know. I took some days off but I have now solved my problem. I succesfully exposed only the need ports to get a HighID and the interface is available only through Traefik. My error was a typo on my docker compose file.

Thanks for the support
