The perfect match between a highly customizable torrent client and an awesome web ui.

This repo holds my dockerfiles used to create a flood web ui instance using rtorrent as backend. It was created to be easily deployed using a single docker-compose. These dockerfiles are based on Alpine Linux for minimalist and lightweight images.

Why two containers ?

For the sake of sticking to docker standards and application separation. Seriously, containers are not intended to have more than one process/service running at a time and for security purposes these containers are isolated as thinly as possible to help keep outward facing processes separate from internal ones.

Oh gosh, this is annoying to deploy !

Yes it can but with docker-compose.yml files you can easily launch a complex interdependent application with one command docker-compose up.

Why concatenating all your commands in a single RUN directive ?

Every RUN directive creates another layer in your container which makes your container much larger than it needs to be. Meaning if you do any package or archive cleanup after you've installed a bunch of things you're not actually saving any space.
