mldonkey-next not connected to the core

[orderorder]

I am a beginner in installing through Docker, I searched for tutorials on the web and followed these steps. The classic web interface over port 4080 works fine, but the new interface over port 4081 says "Not connected to the core" and login doesn't work.

sudo systemctl enable docker sudo systmeclt start docker

sudo groupadd docker

sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

docker pull carlonluca/mldonkey

docker create --name mldonkey --restart=always \ -p 4080:4080 -p 4081:4081 -p 4000:4000 -p 4001:4001 \ -p 20562:20562 -p 20566:20566/udp -p 16965:16965/udp \ -v "/media/data:/var/lib/mldonkey" \ carlonluca/mldonkey

docker start mldonkey

If the regular UI is working properly, I'd check the logs with docker logs.

This seems correct. I see no connection attempt though. What value is assigned to the key gui_port in downloads.ini?

[orderorder]

gui_port = 4001

[carlonluca]

What logs do you see if you try to load the page?

[carlonluca]

You'll also need to expose port 4002. That is the port used by the websocket server.

Thanks, now it works. Thanks for this solution to bring mldonkey to modern systems. I like the new interface (mldonkey-next). In my opinion, you should update the information on how to run and install the application with the ports configured, because it is an interesting project and users who are not familiar with Dockers, like me, may have problems running mldokey this way. Anyway I hope my problem with the configuration helps other people.

Yes, I agree some info is missing. I'll add some more. Thanks.

[carlonluca]

I added more info about the installation in the docker image repo. If you feel something is still missing, feel free to open an issue.
