[HOWTO] install mldonkey on OMV5 using portainer WEBGUI

Some history:

This is a new HOWTO evolved from my last howto install mldonkey for OMV4:

Please read it for curiosity.

Initial steps; You need to create/have a user/group to use in dockers (please do not use root).

I create user : dockeruser with PUID=1001

and a group called Dockergroup with PGID=1000

then you need to open your portainer ( you need to install it previosly)

Now is time to edit my mldonkey.compose file:

version: '2'
services:
  mldonkey:
    image: logicwar/mldonkey
    container_name: mldonkey
    network_mode: bridge
    environment:
      - PUID=1001  # Your Docker user here
      - PGID=1000  # Your Docker Group here
    volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-DATA/Varios/dockers/mldonkey:/var/lib/mldonkey
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-DATA/Varios/temp:/mnt/mldonkey_tmp
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-DATA/Varios/Completed:/mnt/mldonkey_completed
    ports:
      - 4000:4000
      - 4001:4001
      - 4080:4080
      - 20562:20562
      - 20566:20566/udp
    restart: unless-stopped

You need to change PUID & PGID acording your previously created user & group.

You need to change volumes acording your needs;

my Full path is /srv/dev-disk-by-label-DATA/Varios/dockers/mldonkey that is when I want to store my mldonkey config files

and define your completed folder to a shared folders that you can see by SAMBA in my case : /srv/dev-disk-by-label-DATA/Varios/Completed

Note: /srv/dev-disk-by-label-DATA/Varios/ must exist, and Completed can be created by mldonkey docker

Note2: /srv/dev-disk-by-label-DATA/Varios/dockers/ must exist, and "mldonkey"can be created by mldonkey docker

then you need to copy your edited file to portainer like this:

Please do not add TZ=Europe/Madrid this was my fault and mldonkey fails if you add it ( my mldonkey.compose file do not have it).

24/04/2020 after more testing , if posible to add - TZ=Europe/Madrid # Your Time Zone Here

and you are ready to deploy.

push the lower button to deploy stack and finally you have a working mldonkey :

After that my recomendation is to change default password for user "admin" in mldonkey WebGUI.

my latest yaml file:

version: "3"
services:
  mldonkey:
    image: logicwar/mldonkey
    container_name: mldonkey
    networks:
      my-net:
    environment:
      - PUID=$PUID
      - PGID=$PGID
      - TZ=$TZ
    volumes:
      - $ConfigPath/mldonkey:/var/lib/mldonkey
      - $Descargas/mldonkey:/mnt/mldonkey_completed
      - $Temp/mldonkey:/mnt/mldonkey_tmp
    ports:
      - 4000:4000
      - 4001:4001
      - 4080:4080
      - 16965:16965
      - 16965:16965/udp
      - 20562:20562
      - 20562:20562/udp
      - 20566:20566/udp
      - 6209:6209
      - 6209:6209/udp
    restart: unless-stopped
networks:
  my-net:
    external: true

only need to define $variables

eg: PUID=1001

etc...

and use my-net on all my dockers ( my-net is a new bridge network that I created on portainer webGUI, but is posible to create on Docker-compose webGUI or in CLI)
