Red face Ubuntu 14/16 Debian 8 Seedbox Guide and Script
Ubuntu 14/16 Debian 8 Seedbox Guide and Script

This guide will take you through the installation of everything you need to get your seedbox up and running. Incuded is an option to use a script, if you do not wish to manually go through the guide.

It has been tested with clean installs of Ubuntu 14, and 16, and Debian 8

Now works with Ubuntu 16

Services that will be setup are
1. vsftpd - ftp server
2. libtorrent/rtorrent
3. rutorrent
4. Nginx
5. autodl-irssi

I use nginx as a web server. It uses less system resources, and I find it easier to configure than apache2. I don't think the difference is huge, given that we will have at most a handful of users, accessing our server, but unless you really want to stick with Apache I would recommend nginx, it is what I am currently using on my live seedbox.

It uses latest versions of all software at time of posting.

As you go through the guide make sure you follow the instructions for your OS.

When you have completed the guide, and everything is working, I suggest a reboot

Tip: in Nano use Ctrl-\ to do a find and replace, and use Ctrl-k to delete a line

I will pretty this up with formatting and colours when I get a chance.

Contents
1. Installation with script
2. Secure access to your server
3. Prepare System
4. Installing FTP - VSFTPD
5. Install rtorrent
6. Install rutorrent
7. Install Webserver - Nginx (include section on https download)
8. Autodl-irssi
9. Start irssi and rtorrent on boot
10. Add new user


1. Installation Script (optional)


I have writtena an installation script that automatically runs through sections 2-9. This is not a fork of seed box from scratch, it is a simple script that automates the commands used in this guide. It will install vsftps, rtorrent, rutorrent, autodl-irssi, and nginx, as well as all the configuration, so on completion of the script your seedbox will be ready for use.

This script has been tested on Ubuntu 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and Debian 7, 8

It takes about 10 minutes to run.

Run the script from root, or if you have a sudo user already set up you can run it from there. If for some reason it is interrupted you can run it again to completion.

First download and run the setup script
Code:
wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ar...master/rtsetup
sudo bash rtsetup

and then to run the main script, needs to be run as root or using sudo

Code:
sudo rtinst
For more information on this script as well as information on additional utility scripts installed please look at the readme file located on github

rtinst/README.md at master * arakasi72/rtinst * GitHub




For manual installation begin here

2. Secure access to your server


2.1 Log into your server

Log into your server with a terminal client like Putty. Fill in the following details in Putty:
host name: The IP address or the host name e.g. ksxxxxxx.kimsufi.ovh.com
protocol: SSH (port 22)
username: root
password: use the password your vendor provided


2.2 Create an User account

Root logins are a security risk, so we will want to create an user account rather than login as the root user every time.
In this tutorial, always replace "<username>" with the actual name that you wish to use.
e.g. if your user name will be "Yogi" then the command would be "useradd -m Yogi", without the quotes. Choose a password, when prompted.

Install sudo
Code:
apt-get -y install sudo
For all systems
Code:
adduser --gecos "" <username>
groupadd sshuser
adduser <username> sudo
adduser <username> sshuser
Save and exit

2.3 Secure SSH logins

Code:
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Change the following lines in the sshd_config file. You should choose a high port number in the 20000 - 65535 range. e.g. 21976

Code:
Port 21976
PermitRootLogin no
X11Forwarding no
If the line 'PasswordAuthentication no' is there, comment it out
Code:
#PasswordAuthentication no
Then add these lines at the end of the sshd_config file:
Code:
UseDNS no
AllowGroups sudo sshuser

Save and exit

2.4 Restart the SSH daemon

Code:
service ssh restart
log in with your new user



3. Prepare System


3.1 Upgrade packages
You should now be logged in with the user you created. Everything you need to do can be done with this user and the sudo command.

For ALL versions
First of all lets make sure all the existing services and programs on our system are up to date.
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean
3.2 Install Dependencies
Now we are going to install the packages we are going to need in order to make all our programs work, the following is all 1 line
For all systems except Ubuntu16
Code:
sudo apt-get -y install nano autoconf build-essential ca-certificates comerr-dev curl cfv dtach htop irssi libcloog-ppl-dev libcppunit-dev libcurl3 libncurses5-dev libterm-readline-gnu-perl libsigc++-2.0-dev libperl-dev libtool libxml2-dev ncurses-base ncurses-term ntp patch pkg-config php5-fpm php5 php5-cli php5-dev php5-curl php5-geoip php5-mcrypt php5-xmlrpc python-scgi screen subversion texinfo unzip zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev mediainfo python-software-properties software-properties-common aptitude php5-json nginx-full apache2-utils git libarchive-zip-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libhtml-parser-perl libxml-libxml-perl libjson-perl libjson-xs-perl libxml-libxslt-perl libjson-rpc-perl libarchive-zip-perl

For Ubuntu16 and 17
Code:
sudo apt-get -y install nano autoconf build-essential ca-certificates comerr-dev curl cfv dtach htop irssi libcloog-ppl-dev libcppunit-dev libcurl3 libncurses5-dev libterm-readline-gnu-perl libsigc++-2.0-dev libperl-dev libtool libxml2-dev ncurses-base ncurses-term ntp patch pkg-config php7.0-fpm php7.0 php7.0-cli php7.0-dev php7.0-curl php-geoip php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-xmlrpc python-scgi screen subversion texinfo unzip zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev mediainfo python-software-properties software-properties-common aptitude php7.0-json nginx-full apache2-utils git libarchive-zip-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libhtml-parser-perl libxml-libxml-perl libjson-perl libjson-xs-perl libxml-libxslt-perl libjson-rpc-perl libarchive-zip-perl
3.3 Raise file limits
We will raise the file limits, to ensure we do not have issues, when dealing with torrents with lots of small files, like archives.
Code:
sudo sed -i '/# End of file/ i\* hard nofile 32768\n* soft nofile 32768\n' /etc/security/limits.conf
3.4 Generate certificate files
We will now generate certificates which will be used by your ftp server and web server to make ssl connections, encrypting your traffic to and from the server.

First we will make a copy of the standard config used to generate certificates, we can then edit the copy and keep the original clean.
Code:
sudo cp /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf /etc/ssl/ruweb.cnf
Now open up the file we created using your preferred file editor
Code:
sudo nano /etc/ssl/ruweb.cnf
and add the following to the end of the file, use your own IP addresses and/or domains. Use all applicable addresses and domains, for a second IP use IP.2 = ... and so on:
[ v3_ca ]
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[ alt_names ]
IP.1 = 123.123.123.123
DNS.1 = example.com

save and exit.

Now we can generate the certificates, replace the IP address with your own IP or domain name:
Code:
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -subj /CN=123.123.123.123 -config /etc/ssl/ruweb.cnf -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/ssl/private/ruweb.key -out /etc/ssl/ruweb.crt

4. Installing FTP - VSFTPD


4.1 Install vsftpd

If you wish to chroot users which means restrict them to their home directory, for Ubuntu 12.04, and Debian 7.6 you will need to include a backport feature. This is only required if you wish to use chroot.

Code:
sudo apt-get -y install vsftpd
4.2 Configure vsftpd

Code:
sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf
Make changes to the following lines. If they are commented out with a #, delete the # to uncomment, or add them if they are not there and then save & exit:
Code:
listen=yes
listen_ipv6=NO
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
If you wish to restrict users to their home directory also uncomment/add
Code:
chroot_local_user=YES
allow_writeable_chroot=YES
To secure using TL/SSL uncomment/add/edit. listen_port=43421 is the port you will use to access, and you will need to specify this in your ftp client. You can change it to something else if you like.

Code:
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/ruweb.crt
rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ruweb.key
ssl_enable=YES
allow_anon_ssl=NO
force_local_data_ssl=YES
force_local_logins_ssl=YES
ssl_sslv2=YES
ssl_sslv3=YES
ssl_tlsv1=YES
require_ssl_reuse=NO
listen_port=43421
ssl_ciphers=HIGH
Save and exit

4.3 restart vsftpd

Code:
sudo service vsftpd restart

5 Install rtorrent & libtorrent


5.1 Get rtorrent packages
Enter the following to get the libtorrent and rtorrent packages. Make sure these are the versions that you want, before you begin. These are the latest versions at time of writing.
Code:
cd ~
mkdir source
cd source
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/xmlrpc-c/code/stable xmlrpc
curl http://rtorrent.net/downloads/libtorrent-0.13.6.tar.gz | tar xz
curl http://rtorrent.net/downloads/rtorrent-0.9.6.tar.gz | tar xz
5.2 Configure and make xmlrpc
Code:
cd xmlrpc
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-cplusplus
make
sudo make install
5.3 Configure and make libtorrent
Code:
cd ../libtorrent-0.13.6
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j2
sudo make install
5.4 Configure and make rtorrent
Code:
cd ../rtorrent-0.9.6
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-xmlrpc-c
make -j2
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
5.5 Set up directories
Code:
cd ~ && mkdir rtorrent && cd rtorrent
mkdir .session download watch
5.6 Edit the rtorrent configuration file
Code:
nano ~/.rtorrent.rc
Paste the following content into the .rtorrent.rc file. This should get you started, it is the .rtorrent.rc I use. The fine tuning of settings that one should use will depend on your set-up, and is not going to be addressed here.

Code:
# This is the rtorrent configuration file installed by rtinst script - https://github.com/arakasi72/rtinst# This file is installed to ~/.rtorrent.rc
# Enable/modify the options as needed, uncomment the options you wish to enable.
# This configuration will work well with most systems, but optimal settings are dependant on specific server setup


### Set Directories
method.insert = cfg.basedir, private|const|string, (cat,"/home/<user name>/rtorrent/")
method.insert = cfg.watch, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"watch/")

### The following line initialises rutorrent plugins without needing to open the web interface
execute = {sh,-c,/usr/bin/php /var/www/rutorrent/php/initplugins.php <user name> &}


#EOF
Save and exit

And insert your username into the file
Code:
perl -pi -e "s/<user name>/$LOGNAME/g" ~/.rtorrent.rc
5.7 Check that rtorrent starts properly

Code:
rtorrent
After checking, close rtorrent with CTRL-Q
If you get an error, note the error and fix the configuration.
The most likely causes will be an invalid <username>, invalid path in .rtorrent.rc or a permissions issue

5.8 Start rtorrent with screen

Code:
screen -d -m -S rtorrent rtorrent
6. Install rutorrent


6.1 Install rutorrent

Create the directory
Code:
sudo mkdir /var/www && cd /var/www
It is important that you do not change the directory throughout this section (6 Install rutorrent), until instructed to by this guide

Code:
sudo git clone https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent.git rutorrent


6.2 Configure rutorrent configuration files

Code:
sudo mkdir /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$LOGNAME
sudo mkdir /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$LOGNAME/plugins

sudo rm rutorrent/conf/config.php
sudo nano rutorrent/conf/config.php
Replace the contents of config.php with the following:
Code:
<?php
// configuration parameters

// for snoopy client
@define('HTTP_USER_AGENT', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0', true);
@define('HTTP_TIME_OUT', 30, true); // in seconds
@define('HTTP_USE_GZIP', true, true);
$httpIP = null; // IP string. Or null for any.

@define('RPC_TIME_OUT', 5, true); // in seconds

@define('LOG_RPC_CALLS', false, true);
@define('LOG_RPC_FAULTS', true, true);

// for php
@define('PHP_USE_GZIP', false, true);
@define('PHP_GZIP_LEVEL', 2, true);

$do_diagnostic = true;
$log_file = '/tmp/rutorrent_errors.log'; // path to log file (comment or leave blank to disable logging)

$saveUploadedTorrents = true; // Save uploaded torrents to profile/torrents directory or not
$overwriteUploadedTorrents = false; // Overwrite existing uploaded torrents in profile/torrents directory or make unique name

// $topDirectory = '/home'; // Upper available directory. Absolute path with trail slash.
$forbidUserSettings = false;

//$scgi_port = 5000;
$scgi_host = "127.0.0.1";

// For web->rtorrent link through unix domain socket
// (scgi_local in rtorrent conf file), change variables
// above to something like this:
//
//$scgi_port = 0;
//$scgi_host = "unix:///tmp/rtorrent.sock";

//$XMLRPCMountPoint = "/RPC2"; // DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE!!! DO NOT COMMENT THIS LINE!!!

$pathToExternals = array(
"php" => '/usr/bin/php', // Something like /usr/bin/php. If empty, will be found in PATH.
"curl" => '/usr/bin/curl', // Something like /usr/bin/curl. If empty, will be found in PATH.
"gzip" => '/bin/gzip', // Something like /usr/bin/gzip. If empty, will be found in PATH.
"id" => '/usr/bin/id', // Something like /usr/bin/id. If empty, will be found in PATH.
"stat" => '/usr/bin/stat', // Something like /usr/bin/stat. If empty, will be found in PATH.
);

$localhosts = array( // list of local interfaces
"127.0.0.1",
"localhost",
);

$profilePath = '../share'; // Path to user profiles
$profileMask = 0777; // Mask for files and directory creation in user profiles.
// Both Webserver and rtorrent users must have read-write access to it.
// For example, if Webserver and rtorrent users are in the same group then the value may be 0770.

?>
Save and exit

And now create the user specific config file
Code:
sudo nano /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$LOGNAME/config.php
and replace contents with the following.
Code:
<?php

$topDirectory = '/home/<user name>';
$scgi_port = 5000;
$XMLRPCMountPoint = "/RPC2";

?>
Save and exit.

and replace in your actual username
Code:
sudo perl -pi -e "s/<user name>/$LOGNAME/g" /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$LOGNAME/config.php
6.3 Configure rutorrent plugins

Code:
cd rutorrent
sudo nano conf/plugins.ini
Replace the contents of plugins.ini with the following:
NOTE: You can go in and edit this if you wish to change the defaults I have set here.
Code:
;; Plugins' permissions.;; If flag is not found in plugin section, corresponding flag from "default" section is used.
;; If flag is not found in "default" section, it is assumed to be "yes".
;;
;; For setting individual plugin permissions you must write something like that:
;;
;; [ratio]
;; enabled = yes ;; also may be "user-defined", in this case user can control plugin's state from UI
;; canChangeToolbar = yes
;; canChangeMenu = yes
;; canChangeOptions = no
;; canChangeTabs = yes
;; canChangeColumns = yes
;; canChangeStatusBar = yes
;; canChangeCategory = yes
;; canBeShutdowned = yes


[default]
enabled = user-defined
canChangeToolbar = yes
canChangeMenu = yes
canChangeOptions = yes
canChangeTabs = yes
canChangeColumns = yes
canChangeStatusBar = yes
canChangeCategory = yes
canBeShutdowned = yes

Save and exit

6.4 Transfer ownership of rutorrent files to webserver so that they are accessible
Code:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/rutorrent

Rutorrent is now installed but you cannot access it until we have set up a web server.


7. Setup nginx Webserver

If you would prefer to use apache2 complete section 10 instead of this section. This author recommends using nginx as it is lighter on resource and easier to configure.

7.1 Configure your rutorrent login

Choose a user name and password for your rutorrent login.
Enter a password when prompted.
Code:
sudo htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.htpasswd $LOGNAME
sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/nginx/.htpasswd
sudo chmod 644 /etc/nginx/.htpasswd

7.2 Configure Nginx

We will set some basic configurations.
Code:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Make sure the following items are set to these values, uncomment or add them if needed
Code:
user www-data www-data;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
server_tokens off;
client_max_body_size 40m;
access_log off;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log crit;
We also need to update the max file size we just set here to 40m in php to the same value.
For Ubuntu16 and 17
Code:
sudo sed -i "/upload_max_filesize/ c\upload_max_filesize = 40M" /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
For all other systems
Code:
sudo sed -i "/upload_max_filesize/ c\upload_max_filesize = 40M" /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

and for Ubuntu 14 only php access settings (these can be changed on any system, but must be done on 14.10) If changing on Ubuntu16 or 17 the file is located at /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
Code:
sudo nano /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
and make sure the following variables are uncommented and set to:
Code:
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
listen.mode = 0660
save and exit

7.3 Configure nginx Site File

For all versions
Code:
sudo cp /usr/share/nginx/html/* /var/www

For all versions
Code:
sudo cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/default.old
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Replace contents of the site file with the following.

Code:
server { listen 80;
root /var/www;

index index.html index.php index.htm;

error_page 403 = @DenieD;
#Below enter IP address or block to allow, eg LAN and/or VPN blocks
allow 10.0.0.0/8;
allow 172.16.0.0/12;
allow 192.168.0.0/16;
deny all;


location @DenieD {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}


location /rutorrent {
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/php;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/cache;
}


#include /etc/nginx/sites-available/dload-loc;


location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}


server {
listen 443 ssl;


root /var/www;
index index.html index.php index.htm;


client_max_body_size 40m;

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/ruweb.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/ruweb.key;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}


location /rutorrent {
client_max_body_size 40m;
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/php;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/cache;
}


#include /etc/nginx/sites-available/dload-loc;


location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}


}
save and exit

Now we will create the files for php and caching, that are 'included' in the rutorrent location in the main site file.

Code:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/php
and replace the contents with the following

NOTE: Ubuntu 16 and 17 find and uncomment the line ‘fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;’ and delete or comment out the line below it ‘fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;’
Code:
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
save and exit

Code:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/cache
and replace the contents with
Code:
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|woff|ttf|svg|eot)$ {
expires 365d;
}
7.4 Restart nginx

For Ubuntu16 and 17
Code:
sudo service nginx restart && sudo service php7.0-fpm restart
For all other systems
Code:
sudo service nginx restart && sudo service php5-fpm restart
Make sure rtorrent is running and log into RuTorrent by going to http://<Server IP>/rutorrent.

7.6 HTTPS Download

If you wish to access your home directory via the web to download files, follow this section. I recommend using ftp for downloads, but this is an alternative if for what ever reason ftp is a problem for you.

I am using the same password file that we set up for rutorrent.

We need to add the location for users home directory.
Code:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/dload-loc
and replace contents with the following

Code:
location ~ ^/download/(.+?)(/.*)?$ {
alias /home/$1$2;
charset UTF-8;
set $user $1;
if ($remote_user = '') { break; }
if ($user != $remote_user) { return 403; }
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
index index.html index.htm; autoindex on;
}
save and exit.

To enable download nano into the site file
Code:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
and uncomment the line
Code:
#include /etc/nginx/sites-available/dload-loc;
and reload nginx
Code:
sudo service nginx reload
(to disable do the same except comment out the line)

Set permissions on directories so the web server can access them, the ~ in the command below is the current users home directory, and will also change permissions on all subdirectories.


Code:
find ~ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
You should now be able to access your home directory at https://<Server IP>/download/<user name>


8 Autodl-irssi


Autodl-irssi is a powerful program that can be set up to automatically download torrents that match your description.
It is more powerful than and recommended over RSS for trackers that have an IRC announce channel.

8.1 Install Autodl-irssi

Code:
mkdir -p ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
cd ~/.irssi/scripts
curl -sL http://git.io/vlcND | grep -Po '(?<="browser_download_url": ")(.*-v[\d.]+.zip)' | xargs wget --quiet -O autodl-irssi.zip
unzip -o autodl-irssi.zip
rm autodl-irssi.zip
cp autodl-irssi.pl autorun/
mkdir -p ~/.autodl
touch ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg && touch ~/.autodl/autodl2.cfg
8.2 Install the rutorrent plugin for Autodl-irssi

Code:
cd /var/www/rutorrent/plugins
sudo git clone https://github.com/autodl-community/...-rutorrent.git autodl-irssi
sudo mkdir /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$LOGNAME/plugins/autodl-irssi
sudo cp autodl-irssi/_conf.php /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$LOGNAME/plugins/autodl-irssi/conf.php
8.3 Transfer ownership of Autodl-irssi to the webserver

Code:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
8.4 Configure Autodl-irssi passwords.

Edit the autodl-irssi conf.php file to add a port and password.


Code:
sudo nano /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$LOGNAME/plugins/autodl-irssi/conf.php
Replace the content of conf.php file with the following
You can change the port number and password to ones of your choice.
Code:
<?php

$autodlPort = 38800;
$autodlPassword = "fab7Rxtpp";

?>
Save and exit

Edit the ~/.autodl/autodl2.cfg file
Code:
cd ~/.autodl
nano autodl2.cfg
Copy the following content into the autodl.cfg file
Note that the GUI port and password must match the ones from the conf.php file
Code:
[options]
gui-server-port = 38800
gui-server-password = fab7Rxtpp
Save and exit

8.5 Start IRSSI

If you want to use irssi for other things it is very customisable, but that is a whole separate subject. For now we will just start it
Code:
screen -d -m -S irssi irssi
If rtorrent is not already running go ahead and start that to.
Code:
screen -d -m -S rtorrent rtorrent
Now login to your rutorrent web interface and make sure it is working


9 Start irssi and rtorrent on boot

We want to start these services automatically when the system boots.

9.1 Create script file


Code:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/rtcheck
and add the following
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# rTorrent Auto Restart
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin
FILE="$HOME/rtorrent/.session/rtorrent.lock"

service_running(){
pgrep -fx -u $LOGNAME $1 > /dev/null
}

for arg do if ! ( service_running $arg )
then
if [[ $arg = "rtorrent" && -a $FILE ]]
then
echo "Removing $FILE"
rm -f $FILE
fi
echo "Starting $arg"
screen -d -m -S $arg $arg
else
echo "$arg already running"
fi
done
save and exit

Make it executable
Code:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/rtcheck
9.2 Add to crontab


To open crontab type
Code:
crontab -e
And add the following line at the end of the file
Code:
@reboot sleep 5; /usr/local/bin/rtcheck irssi rtorrent
Save and exit

Now both services will start on reboot. If they don't then it is probably due to start-up order of services. Change the line to
Code:
@reboot sleep 10; /usr/local/bin/rtcheck irssi rtorrent
This should fix it, with a 10 second delay before running.


If you just want to start rtorrent, you can remove the irssi argument like in the next example

If you want to regularly check that rtorrent is running and start it if it is not, you could also add the line
Code:
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/rtcheck rtorrent
This will check every 5 minutes.

10. Add New User

This section will cover adding an additional user, and all the configuration. This does not cover using individual IP's for each user. This is something I can add if their is a demand for it.

To make this easier we will set a variable for the new user name before we begin, which we can then user throughout this process.

Code:
newuser=<new username>
10.1 Add user

Code:
sudo adduser --gecos "" $newuser
if you want to grant them ssh access then
Code:
sudo adduser $newuser sshuser
10.2 rtorrent

First we will create the rtorrent directories
Code:
sudo mkdir /home/$newuser/rtorrent
sudo mkdir /home/$newuser/rtorrent/downloads
sudo mkdir /home/$newuser/rtorrent/.session
sudo mkdir /home/$newuser/rtorrent/watch
Now we need to set the .rtorrent.rc file. Use the same template as in section 5.6 of this guide. We need to configure unique ports for rtorrent, scgi. In this example we will use port 5001 for scgi and for the rtorrent port range, 51251-51500. You can use other ports just make sure they are unique to this user.

Code:
sudo nano /home/$newuser/.rtorrent.rc
copy in the text from the template in section 5.6 and then find and change the following to our new ports.
Code:
port_range = 51251-51500
network.scgi.open_port = 127.0.0.1:5001
save and exit

then replace <user name> in the file with our new user name.
Code:
sudo perl -pi -e "s/<user name>/$newuser/g" /home/$newuser/.rtorrent.rc
10.3 rutorrent

First we will make the directory
Code:
sudo mkdir /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$newuser
sudo mkdir /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$newuser/plugins
and create the user confing file, where we will use the same scgi port as we did in the rtorrent config, and also use a unique RPC mount. In this example RPC3
Code:
sudo nano /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$newuser/config.php
And replace the content with the following, replacing <username> with the actual user's name
Code:
<?php

$topDirectory = '/home/<username>';
$scgi_port = 5001;
$XMLRPCMountPoint = "/RPC3";

?>
save and exit

And add our user to the rutorrent password file
Code:
sudo htpasswd /etc/nginx/.htpasswd $newuser
10.4 autodl-irssi

We will create the directories we need and download the autodl scripts
Code:
sudo mkdir /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$newuser/plugins/autodl-irssi
sudo mkdir -p /home/$newuser/.irssi/scripts/autorun
cd /home/$newuser/.irssi/scripts
curl -sL http://git.io/vlcND | grep -Po '(?<="browser_download_url": ")(.*-v[\d.]+.zip)' | xargs wget --quiet -O autodl-irssi.zip
sudo unzip -o autodl-irssi.zip
sudo rm autodl-irssi.zip
sudo cp autodl-irssi.pl autorun/
sudo mkdir -p /home/$newuser/.autodl
sudo touch /home/$newuser/.autodl/autodl.cfg
sudo touch /home/$newuser/.autodl/autodl2.cfg

Now we will add the autodl config. We need to set a port and password, which are unique to this user.

Code:
sudo nano /home/$newuser/.autodl/autodl2.cfg
and replace contents with the following, you can change the values.
Code:
[options]
gui-server-port = 36755
gui-server-password = ct7HRww3
Save and exit

now we need to use the same port and password in the rutorrent autodl config
Code:
sudo nano /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$newuser/plugins/autodl-irssi/conf.php
and replace the contents with the following
Code:
<?php

$autodlPort = 36755;
$autodlPassword = "ct7HRww3";

?>
10.5 Permissions

Now we need to set ownership and permissions
Code:
sudo chown -R $newuser:$newuser /home/$newuser
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$newuser
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/rutorrent/conf/users/$newuser

10.6 Schedule with crontab
And finally add the cron jobs so rtorrent and irssi are started automatically
Code:
sudo crontab -u $newuser -e
and add the lines
Code:
@reboot sleep 10; /usr/local/bin/rtcheck irssi rtorrent
*/10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/rtcheck irssi rtorrent
Check everything is working and send all the relevant info to the new user.

Hi
HAd a quick look and seems all pretty standard. Only one thing that is deprecated is in the the installation of autodl-irssi, autodl2.cfg is no longer referenced. It's simply autodl.cfg now.

In some cases as well you may need to install irssi as well so on ubuntu/debian its depending if you are in root or not, (use sudo if not root) apt-get install irssi
