[HOWTO] Install mldonkey-server on OMV to download ed2k links

2019 UPDATE: please install in docker using this guide instead in the O.S. base.

[How to] Install MLDonkey/mlnet in the Docker Plugin

Yes, I write the [HOWTO] Install amule, but I tested ml-donkey and notice less resources and better speed , so this is my install notes:

some documentation: http://terminal28.com/mldonkey…-p2p-debian-ubuntu-linux/

steps:

1- open a shell , I use putty, you can use others , type

apt-get install mldonkey-server

done, you only need to answer YES when ask if you want autostart of mldonkey-server and this is all for installation, next steps are configuration.

2- edit file /var/lib/mldonkey/donwloads.ini (some tips: you can edit from shell or use Winscp to locate file and edit using your prefered Text editor)

PD: You need to be sure that mldonkey-server is NOT running when edit file or your edit is lose when server stop, command to stop mldonkey is

service mldonkey-server stop

Locate allowed_ips and add your LAN in this format x.x.x.0/24
eg:

Quote

(* list of IP address allowed to connect to the core via telnet/GUI/WEB
for internal command set: list separated by spaces
example for internal command: set allowed_ips "127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1.2"
or for editing the ini-file: list separated by semi-colon
example for ini-file: allowed_ips = [ "127.0.0.0/8"; "192.168.1.2";]
CIDR and range notations are supported: ie use 192.168.0.0/24
or 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255 for 192.168.0.* *)
allowed_ips = [
"127.0.0.1";
"192.168.1.0/24";]

(* port for Graphical Interfaces, 0 to deactivate GUI interface *)
(* changing this option requires restart of MLDonkey core *)
gui_port = 4001

done, you can start to test if MLDonkey start properly:

service mldonkey-server start

and check that is running

service mldonkey-server status

3 - you can access to your mldonkey server using Sancho client or use others: http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/Gui

only need to configure IP of your NAS or his HostName ( BNAS in my case), you do not need to modify enything more.

and thats all.

Final note:
In my case I do not like default incoming and temp folders of ml-donkey so I do a simlink to my temp&downlad dedicated HD:

PD: My downloads.ini file for comparation pourpouses:

downloads.zip

2017.05.07 actualization. since ver 3.0.71 or so ( I test on 3.0.74) Mounts are done in /srv/

So if you need to execute the "ln" command, must be like this:

Of course, your Data disk must be dev-disk-by-label-Data and folder /Descargas/incoming and /temp must exist on your data disk
