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

MLDonkey is a old but good way to download ed2k: links, I write a HOWTO install MLDonkey on a plain OMV install, but this time on OMV4 I'll try a diferent aproach and describe How To Install a MLDonkey container on DockerGUI.

First some recomended reads:

OMV + Docker plugin media server (Plex, PlexPy, Ombi, Libresonic, NZBGet, ruTorrent, Sonarr, Radarr, Mylar, and more)

[How to] Install Pi-Hole in Docker: Update - 01/09/18

and the most important for this guide: https://hub.docker.com/r/angeletor/mldonkey/

updated 07/03/2018: other very good and recomended Docker is: https://hub.docker.com/r/logicwar/mldonkey/

After that is time to begin.

first you need to create user mldonkey in N4F webGUI that is the user that mldonkey docker use to write files/ run.

Now Go to docker plugin

1 - search in Docker pluging for mldoney , I select angeletor/mldonkey for my install, you can choose other if prefer.

2 - once downloaded, select it, press the "Run Image" button.

3 - Now is time to configure your docker image to your needs, I use bridge mode to use same IP that my NAS use to access MLDonkey WebGUI later, see screenshot.

write all exposed port on the docker to your Host (you can change it later).

configure Volumes to store config in persistent paht so changes that you do to mldonkey later ( ports, or password for admin) become persistent, otherwise, changes are lost on reboot.

continuation.

now you can test and access from your explorer, and configure MLDonkey to meets your needs.

2024.06.10 actualization:

mldonkey still working on my OMV under a docker , this is my mldonkey.yml file:

services:
  mldonkey:
    image: logicwar/mldonkey:latest
    container_name: mldonkey
    networks:
      my-net:
    environment:
      - PUID=$PUID
      - PGID=$PGID
      - TZ=$TZ
    volumes:
      - CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH/Dockers/mldonkey:/var/lib/mldonkey
      - CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH/Descargas/mldonkey:/mnt/mldonkey_completed # SKIP_BACKUP
      - CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH/Temp/mldonkey:/mnt/mldonkey_tmp # SKIP_BACKUP
    ports:
      - 4000:4000
      - 4001:4001
      - 4080:4080
      - 20562:20562
      - 20562:20562/udp
      - 20566:20566/udp
    restart: unless-stopped
networks:
  my-net:
    external: true

and to use from Windows PC, I use this 2 old GUIs:
