NOTICE: If pyload is not able to update plugins, try to use latest tag

pyLoad is a fast, lightweight and full featured download manager for many One-Click-Hoster, container formats like DLC, video sites or just plain http/ftp links. It aims for low hardware requirements and platform independence to be runnable on all kind of systems (desktop pc, netbook, NAS, router).

Despite its strict restriction it is packed full of features just like webinterface, captcha recognition, unrar and much more.

pyLoad is divided into core and clients, to make it easily remote accessible. Currently there are a webinterface, command line interface, and a GUI written in Qt.

Source official pyload.

Install is easy as all docker images

docker pull writl/pyload:latest

docker run -d -P writl/pyload:latest

You can link your Downloads to your host very easy like that:

docker run -d -v <host directoy>:/opt/pyload/Downloads -P writl/pyload:latest

Notice to replace <host directory> with your directory path on the host. So if you want to store your Downloads in /tmp/Downloads then your command would look like this:

docker run -d -v /tmp/Downloads:/opt/pyload/Downloads -P writl/pyload:latest

If you want to have your configuration persistent you have to link the configuration directory outside of the container. This can happen like this:

docker run -d -v <host directoy>:/opt/pyload/pyload-config -P writl/pyload:latest

By default, pyload will be run as root, and will download files with uid 0 and gid 0. If you want to change this behavior, you can specify the UID and GID that will be used for the downloaded files by using ENV VARS

docker \
    run \
    -d \
    -v <host download directory>:/opt/pyload/Downloads \
    -v <host config directoy>:/opt/pyload/pyload-config \
    -e UID=<uid> \
    -e GID=<gid> \
    -P \
    writl/pyload:latest

After the docker has created you can login via the webinterface with:

USER=pyload
PASSWORD=pyload
