Running Tribler in Docker
=========================

In order to run Tribler in Docker, create a file called ``Dockerfile`` and fill it with these contents:

.. code-block:: none
# libtorrent-1.2.19 does not support python 3.11 yet
FROM python:3.10-slim
In order to run Tribler from docker you only need a few steps.
We assume you have ``docker`` installed.

RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libsodium23=1.0.18-1 \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
Currently, only running the (unstable!) ``latest`` release is supported.

# Then, install pip dependencies so that it can be cached and does not
# need to be built every time the source code changes.
# This reduces the docker build time.
COPY ./requirements-core.txt /app/tribler/core-requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install -r /app/tribler/core-requirements.txt

RUN useradd -ms /bin/bash user
Preparation
-----

# Create default state and download directories and set the permissions
RUN chown -R user:user /app
RUN mkdir /state /downloads && chown -R user:user /state /downloads
Fetch the docker image:

# Copy the source code and set the working directory
COPY ./src /app/tribler/src/
WORKDIR /app/tribler/
.. code-block::
# Set to -1 to use the default
ENV CORE_API_PORT=20100
ENV IPV8_PORT=7759
ENV TORRENT_PORT=-1
ENV DOWNLOAD_DIR=/downloads
ENV TSTATEDIR=/state
ENV HTTP_HOST=127.0.0.1
ENV HTTPS_HOST=127.0.0.1
docker pull ghcr.io/tribler/tribler:latest
VOLUME /state
VOLUME /downloads
Running
-----

USER user
Choose a SECRET key for the background communication with Tribler.
In the following example, we use the key ``changeme`` (don't use this yourself).
To run the docker image:

CMD exec python3 /app/tribler/src/run_tribler_headless.py \
--ipv8=${IPV8_PORT} \
--libtorrent=${TORRENT_PORT} \
--restapi_http_host=${HTTP_HOST} \
--restapi_https_host=${HTTPS_HOST} \
"--statedir=${TSTATEDIR}" \
"--download_dir=${DOWNLOAD_DIR}"
.. code-block::
docker run -e CORE_API_PORT=8085 -e CORE_API_KEY="changeme" --net="host" -v ~/.Tribler:/state -v ~/downloads/TriblerDownloads:/downloads ghcr.io/tribler/tribler:latest
To build the docker image:
You can then open Tribler in your web browser at the URL:

.. code-block:: bash
.. code-block::
docker build -t triblercore/triblercore:latest .
localhost:8085/ui/#/downloads/all?key=changeme
Notes
-----

To run the built docker image:
This script binds the local "state" directory (this is where Tribler puts its internal files) to ``~/.Tribler`` and your downloads directory (where your downloads end up) to ``~/downloads/TriblerDownloads``.
You can change these directories if you want to.

.. code-block:: bash
docker run -p 20100:20100 --net="host" triblercore/triblercore:latest
Note that by default, the REST API is bound to localhost inside the container so to
If you're planning on manipulating Tribler's internal REST API, you can access it through ``http://localhost:8085/docs``.
By default, the REST API is bound to localhost inside the container so to
access the APIs, network needs to be set to host (--net="host").

To use the local state directory and downloads directory, the volumes can be mounted:

.. code-block:: bash
docker run -p 20100:20100 --net="host" -v ~/.Tribler:/state -v ~/downloads/TriblerDownloads:/downloads triblercore/triblercore:latest
The REST APIs are now accessible at: http://localhost:20100/docs


Docker Compose
--------------

Tribler core can also be started using Docker Compose. For that, create a ``docker-compose.yml`` in the project root directory:

.. code-block:: none
version: "3.3"
services:
tribler-core:
image: triblercore/triblercore:latest
container_name: triblercore
build: .
volumes:
- "~/.Tribler:/state"
- "~/Downloads/TriblerDownloads:/downloads"
ports:
- "20100:20100"
environment:
- CORE_API_PORT=20100
- CORE_API_KEY=TEST
- TORRENT_PORT=7000
- TSTATEDIR=/state
- HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0
To run via docker compose:

.. code-block:: bash
docker-compose up
To run in detached mode:

.. code-block:: bash
docker-compose up -d
To stop Tribler:
Stopping
-----

.. code-block:: bash
To stop Tribler, you should get the container id of your process and then stop it.
You can view all active docker containers using ``docker ps`` and you can stop a container id using ``docker stop``.
For most UNIX systems, the following command will stop your Tribler Docker container:

docker-compose down
.. code-block::
docker stop $(docker ps -aqf ancestor="ghcr.io/tribler/tribler:latest")
