How to integrate this into a docker rtorrent environment

[cactushydrocodone]

Hello,

I want to add this to my rtorrent/rutorrent container image. Now im trying around a bit and what is mostly stopping me is the "update-to-head.sh" script, as its always trying to write to /home/rtorrent instead of the directory i provide with the PYRO_CONFIG_DIR ENV variable. Even when i specify it explicitly, it gets ignored.

This is a bit annoying, is there an already made approach?

Do you have any idea what i could do? My current approach is more a workaround than something else...

The script writes where you place it. If you do things like docker, you're supoposed to be able to read bash. besides the full dockerfile in the rt-ps repo,

Hmm. Weird. Maybe i need glasses, but those Commands... idk: They seem pretty static to me. Weird. :/

Esspecially this part tho Do you see the userhome there? I do not lol

Here's a stupidly simple Dockerfile that I use:

FROM python:3

RUN mkdir /app

WORKDIR /app

COPY pyroscope .

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

The requirements.txt in question (because I'm a selfish sucker for py3's string/bytes handling):

https://github.com/kannibalox/pyrobase/archive/py3.tar.gz
https://github.com/kannibalox/pyrocore/archive/py3.tar.gz
requests
APScheduler>=2.0.2,<3
Tempita>=0.5.1

Then I mount the configuration in kubernetes as so:

kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: pyrocore-config
  namespace: rtorrent
data:
  config.ini: |
    [GLOBAL]
    rtorrent_rc = /etc/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc
    [CONNECTIONS]
    local = scgi:///home/rtorrent/rtorrent/socket
  config.py: ""
  torque.ini: |
    [TORQUE]
    apscheduler.threadpool.core_threads     = 1
    apscheduler.threadpool.max_threads      = 1
    apscheduler.threadpool.keepalive        = 20
    apscheduler.misfire_grace_time          = 7
    apscheduler.coalesce                    = True
    job.exporter.handler           = pyroextra.rtorrent_exporter:RtorrentExporter
    job.exporter.jobs              = system,tracker
    # The schedule has no effect here
    job.exporter.schedule          = hour=*
    job.exporter.port              = 8000
    job.exporter.prefix            = rtorrent_
    job.exporter.active            = True
    job.exporter.dry_run           = False
    job.exporter.quiet             = False

Pod spec:

....
        volumeMounts:
        - name: pyrocore-config
          mountPath: /root/.pyroscope
....
      volumes:
        - name: pyrocore-config
          configMap:
            name: pyrocore-config
....

Obviously this needs plenty of work (not running as root would be the first step), but hopefully it helps you get started

${foo:-default} is a syntax found in man bash. In a Dockerfile, you need to explicitly set HOME because there is no bashrc etc that sets it. You need to understand those tools to be successful.
