Question (newbie) -- how to have storm up an running

[valsamis-d]

Hello guys,

I followed all instructions:

1) installed Docker in my OSMC RPi2 2) installed Sorm

All successful! Btw amazing interface 😄 Thanks!

How do I autostart Storm after a reboot and have it running in the background?

In your docker run command you need to add the options -d (detach, run in background) and --restart=unless-stopped to have docker start the container when it starts

@relvacode thanks for the response!

I tried the following:

docker run \
  --network host \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  -d \
  -p 8221:8221 \
  -e DELUGE_RPC_HOSTNAME=localhost \
  -e DELUGE_RPC_USERNAME=user \
  -e DELUGE_RPC_PASSWORD=pass \
  -e DELUGE_RPC_VERSION=v2 \
  ghcr.io/relvacode/storm

All was good until I reboot my RPi2. I just couldn't open the WebUI. Checked with "docker top storm" and found out that the container was not running. Then I removed the "-d":

docker run \
  --network host \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  -p 8221:8221 \
  -e DELUGE_RPC_HOSTNAME=localhost \
  -e DELUGE_RPC_USERNAME=user \
  -e DELUGE_RPC_PASSWORD=pass \
  -e DELUGE_RPC_VERSION=v2 \
  ghcr.io/relvacode/storm

and got the following error:

listen tcp :8221: bind: address already in use

To check who's using the port, I did "ss -tanp | grep 8221" :

LISTEN 0 4096 *:8221 *:*

Now, I cannot start Storm again.

Any pointers?

Hello again,

I think I found my issue here.

The behavior was actually due to two reasons:

1) My deluged deamon was failing to start after reboot, due to dependencies. I fixed that.

2) several Storm dockers were found running. I stopped all of them, removed them.

After that I restarted Storm docker using -d and --restart, reboot and now all is good!

I'm closing this.
