Details

Description:

rTorrent 0.9.7+ includes [https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/Daemon_Mode a daemon mode]. See [https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/pull/446 this issue] for more details on how to use it, especially [https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/pull/446#issuecomment-410493583 this comment] for the configuration syntax.

So we could probably provides a systemd service file:

{{hc|rtorrent.service|<nowiki>
[Unit]
Description=rTorrent Daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
KillMode=forking
User=sdbox
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rtorrent -o system.daemon.set=true
WorkingDirectory=%h
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
</nowiki>}}
This task depends upon

Could you propose adding this service file upstream? Ideally they should distribute this file as part of the release tarballs but I know it's a bit optimistic on my part. Still I'd like to know if they have strong objections before including the service file in our package. Cheers.

Awesome. Let's wait for a week and if there's no reply by then I'll include your service file. Thanks a lot.

The example I provided is just a guess, it is not actually working.
Comment by Gaetan Bisson (vesath) - Wednesday, 24 July 2019, 21:24 GMT
Since upstream is discussing including such a service file and rakshasa explicitely stated he was open to pull requests on this, I'll close this as an upstream matter. Cheers.
