aMmule is a multi-platform client for the ED2K file sharing network and based on the windows client eMule. aMule started in August 2003, as a fork of xMule, which is a fork of lMule.

Inspired by tchabaud and synopsis8 work.

The architectures supported by this image are:

The web interface is at: <your-ip>:4711

For better download speed you have to open these ports:

• 4662 TCP
• 4665 UDP
• 4672 UDP

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

version: "2.1"
services:
  amule:
    image: ngosang/amule
    container_name: amule
    environment:
      - PUID=0
      - PGID=0
      - TZ=Europe/London
      # GUI_PWD and WEBUI_PWD are only used in initial setup
      - GUI_PWD=<fill_password>
      - WEBUI_PWD=<fill_password>
    ports:
      - "4711:4711" # web ui
      - "4712:4712" # remote gui, webserver, cmd ...
      - "4662:4662" # ed2k tcp
      - "4665:4665/udp" # ed2k global search udp (tcp port +3)
      - "4672:4672/udp" # ed2k udp
    volumes:
      - <fill_amule_configuration_path>:/home/amule/.aMule
      - <fill_amule_completed_downloads_path>:/incoming
      - <fill_amule_incomplete_downloads_path>:/temp
    restart: unless-stopped

docker run -d \
  --name=amule \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e GUI_PWD=<fill_password> `#optional` \
  -e WEBUI_PWD=<fill_password> `#optional` \
  -p 4711:4711 \
  -p 4712:4712 \
  -p 4662:4662 \
  -p 4665:4665/udp \
  -p 4672:4672/udp \
  -v <fill_amule_configuration_path>:/home/amule/.aMule \
  -v <fill_amule_completed_downloads_path>:/incoming \
  -v <fill_amule_incomplete_downloads_path>:/temp \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ngosang/amule

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

The Docker image includes the classic aMule Web UI and AmuleWebUI-Reloaded theme.

You can change the theme editing the amule.conf file and changing Template=AmuleWebUI-Reloaded. Let this option empty to use the default theme.
