In the folder of your choice (ie: /home/anthony/joal-conf), download thelatest tar.gz release and extractconfig.jsonclients andtorrents, this folder will be ourjoal-conf.

It must look similar to this:

java -jar ./jack-of-all-trades-X.X.X.jar --joal-conf="PATH_TO_CONF"

• --joal-conf=PATH_TO_CONF is arequired argument: path to the joal-conf folder (ie: /home/anthony/joal-conf).

• --spring.main.web-environment=true: to enable the web context.
• --server.port=YOUR_PORT: the port to be used for both HTTP and WebSocket connection.
• --joal.ui.path.prefix="SECRET_OBFUSCATION_PATH": use your own complicated path here (this will be your first layer of security to keep joal secret). This is security though obscurity, but it is required in our case.This must contains only alphanumeric characters (no slash, backslash, or any other non-alphanum char)
• --joal.ui.secret-token="SECRET_TOKEN": use your own secret token here (this is some kind of a password, choose a complicated one).

Once joal is started head to:http://localhost:port/SECRET_OBFUSCATION_PATH/ui/ (obviously, replaceSECRET_OBFUSCATION_PATH) by the value you had chosenThejoal.ui.path.prefix might seems useless but it's actuallycrucial to set it as complex as possible to prevent people to know that joal is running on your server.

If you want to use iframe you may also pass thejoal.iframe.enabled=true argument. If you don't known what that is just ignore it.

In next command you have to replacePATH_TO_CONF,PORT,SECRET_OBFUSCATION_PATH andSECRET_TOKEN with your desired values.

docker run -d \    -p PORT:PORT \    -v PATH_TO_CONF:/data \    --name="joal" \    anthonyraymond/joal:X.X.X \    --joal-conf="/data" \    --spring.main.web-environment=true \    --server.port="PORT" \    --joal.ui.path.prefix="SECRET_OBFUSCATION_PATH" \    --joal.ui.secret-token="SECRET_TOKEN"

Or the equivalent docker-compose service.

version: "2"services:  joal:    image: anthonyraymond/joal:X.X.X    container_name: joal    restart: unless-stopped    volumes:      - PATH_TO_CONF:/data    ports:      - PORT:PORT    command: ["--joal-conf=/data", "--spring.main.web-environment=true", "--server.port=PORT", "--joal.ui.path.prefix=SECRET_OBFUSCATION_PATH", "--joal.ui.secret-token=SECRET_TOKEN"]

Replace theX.X.X inanthonyraymond/joal:X.X.X with the desired version of joal (all versions are availablehere).

Just add some.torrent files to thejoal-conf/torrents folder. There is no need to restart JOAL to add more torrents, add it to the folder and JOAL will be aware of after few seconds.

If WebUi is enabled you can also drag and drop torrents in the joal ui.

The application configuration belongs injoal-conf/config.json.

{  "minUploadRate" : 30,  "maxUploadRate" : 160,  "simultaneousSeed" : 20,  "client" : "qbittorrent-3.3.16.client",  "keepTorrentWithZeroLeechers" : true,  "uploadRatioTarget": -1.0}

• minUploadRate : The minimum uploadRate you want to fake (in kB/s) (required)
• maxUploadRate : The maximum uploadRate you want to fake (in kB/s) (required)
• simultaneousSeed : How many torrents should be seeding at the same time (required)
• client : The name of the .client file to use injoal-conf/clients/ (required)
• keepTorrentWithZeroLeechers: should JOAL keep torrent with no leechers or seeders. If yes, torrent with no peers will be seed at 0kB/s. If false torrents will be deleted on 0 peers reached. (required)
• uploadRatioTarget: when JOAL has uploaded X times the size of the torrentin a single session, the torrent is removed. If -1.0 torrents are never removed.

You can route JOAL traffic (tracker announcements and IP checks) through an HTTP/HTTPS proxy. This is particularly useful if you run JOAL behind a VPN container (like Gluetun) or want to hide your real IP address.

To enable the proxy, set theJAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable with standard Java proxy properties.

docker run -d \    -p PORT:PORT \    -v PATH_TO_CONF:/data \    -e"JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=10.10.10.10 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8888 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.*" \    --name="joal" \    anthonyraymond/joal:X.X.X \    --joal-conf="/data" \    --spring.main.web-environment=true \    --server.port="PORT" \    --joal.ui.path.prefix="SECRET_OBFUSCATION_PATH" \    --joal.ui.secret-token="SECRET_TOKEN" \

version:"2"services:joal:image:anthonyraymond/joal:X.X.Xcontainer_name:joalrestart:unless-stoppedenvironment:# Configure the Proxy Host and Port here# Important: You MUST configure 'http.nonProxyHosts' to exclude localhost,# otherwise the internal Web UI might become unreachable.      -JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=10.10.10.10 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8888 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|127.*|10.*|192.168.*"volumes:      -PATH_TO_CONF:/dataports:      -PORT:PORTcommand:["--joal-conf=/data", "--spring.main.web-environment=true", "--server.port=PORT", "--joal.ui.path.prefix=SECRET_OBFUSCATION_PATH", "--joal.ui.secret-token=SECRET_TOKEN"]

• -Dhttp.proxyHost: The hostname or IP address of your proxy server.
• -Dhttp.proxyPort: The port of your proxy server.
• -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts: A pipe-separated list (|) of hosts that should be reached directly (bypassing the proxy).It is highly recommended to includelocalhost and127.* to ensure the Web UI works correctly.

Some non-supported browser might work, but they may be unsafe due to the lack of support forreferrer-policy.

Those projects are maintained by their individual authors, if you have any question on how to use it use the corresponding repository to ask questions. I do not offer any support nor responsability for these projets. But i want a say a specialthanks to them for speinding some time on this project.

This project use a modified version of the awesomempetazzoni/ttorrent library. Thanks tompetazzoni for this.Also this project has benefited from the help of several people, seeThanks.md
