Crops (Docker Edition)

This is a Dockerized version of Crops.

Usage

This image is different in that it holds the container open even when it's not doing anything. This works better for my setup personally.

Binary

I've added a binary named crops inside the image for convenience. So instead of running python3 main.py -h, you can just run crops -h.

Configuration Directory

This should be writable by the docker user. It's where your OPS and RED credentials will be stored.

After the container boots for the first time, you'll need to edit the settings.json file. You can find a template here

Torrents Directory (important)

This is where your existing torrent files are located.

In my case, I've pointed it to the directory that holds the torrents that are currently in my client. For Deluge, this is called the state directory. For qBittorrent, this is the BT_Backup directory. Do what you will here, but it's worked for me.

Output Directory

This is where you want to store the newly created torrents for adding to your torrent client

Installation

Docker

docker run \
  --name crops-docker \
  -v /host/path/to/config:/config \
  -v /host/path/to/output:/output \
  -v /host/path/to/torrents:/torrents \
  ghcr.io/kieraneglin/crops-docker:latest

Then I interface with it like docker exec -it crops-docker bash and run the commands like crops -h from there.

Docker Compose

Untested

services:
  crops-docker:
    volumes:
      - /host/path/to/config:/config
      - /host/path/to/output:/output
      - /host/path/to/torrents:/torrents
    image: ghcr.io/kieraneglin/crops-docker:latest

Then you can interface with it like docker-compose exec crops-docker bash and run the commands like crops -h from there.

Unraid

Create a new container in Unraid, enable "Advanced View" in the upper right, then add the following settings:

• Name: crops-docker
• Repository: ghcr.io/kieraneglin/crops-docker:latest
• Icon URL: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/113065340/189463044-5b4e9b84-c778-4639-818d-4cd638312390.png
• Extra Parameters: --user "crops:crops"
• Console shell command: bash

Then add the following paths (volumes):

Config Directory:

• Container Path: /config
• Host Path: /mnt/user/appdata/crops-docker

Output Directory:

• Container Path: /output
• Host Path: /mnt/user/your/output/directory

Torrents Directory:

• Container Path: /torrents
• Host Path: /mnt/user/your/torrents/directory

For torrents, see the note above about where to point this. I use /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-delugevpn/state/ but yours is likely to be different.
