Adding basic auth:

Put .htpasswd into your /downloads volume root, the container will re-read .htpasswd each time it starts. To remote auth, simply remove .htpasswd and restart your container.

Instructions on how to generate .htpasswd can be found here: Nginx FAQ

$ printf "John:$(openssl passwd -crypt V3Ry)\n" >> .htpasswd # this example uses crypt encryption

$ printf "Mary:$(openssl passwd -apr1 SEcRe7)\n" >> .htpasswd # this example uses apr1 (Apache MD5) encryption

$ printf "Jane:$(openssl passwd -1 V3RySEcRe7)\n" >> .htpasswd # this example uses MD5 encryption

$ (PASSWORD="SEcRe7PwD";SALT="$(openssl rand -base64 3)";SHA1=$(printf "$PASSWORD$SALT" | openssl dgst -binary -sha1 | sed 's#$#'"$SALT"'#' | base64);printf "Jim:{SSHA}$SHA1\n" >> .htpasswd) # this example uses SSHA encryption

---

Adding TLS:

Put your keyfile (shall be named nginx.key) and your certificate (nginx.crt) into /dowloads volume root, the container looks for these files each time it starts.

Generate a self-signed certificate:

$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout nginx.key -out nginx.crt

Nginx TLS is configured as following:

keepalive_timeout   60;
ssl_ciphers "AES128+EECDH:AES128+EDH";
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;

---

Basic auth secured with TLS:

Apparently, put .htpasswd, nginx.key and nginx.crt into /downloads root.

---

Example, 64-bit:

Insecure

$ docker run -dt --name rtorrent-rutorrent -p 8080:80 -p 49160:49160/udp -p 49161:49161 -v ~/test:/downloads diameter/rtorrent-rutorrent:latest

Secure

$ docker run -dt --name rtorrent-rutorrent -p 443:443 -p 49160:49160/udp -p 49161:49161 -v ~/test:/downloads diameter/rtorrent-rutorrent:latest

Example, map both secure and insecure ports, 32-bit:

$ docker run -dt --name rtorrent-rutorrent -p 8080:80 -p 443:443 -p 49160:49160/udp -p 49161:49161 -v ~/test:/downloads diameter/rtorrent-rutorrent:latest-32

---

Access web-interface: enter http://your_host_address:8080 in a browser for insecure version and https://your_host_address for secure version

---

Example, specify rtorrent gid and uid, and increase php-fpm memory limit:

$ docker run -dt --name rtorrent-rutorrent -p 8080:80 -p 49160:49160/udp -p 49161:49161 -v ~/test:/downloads -e USR_ID=11000 -e GRP_ID=22000 -e PHP_MEM=1024M diameter/rtorrent-rutorrent:stable
