What is aria2-ariang-docker?
aria2-ariang-docker packages Aria2 (multi-protocol downloader), AriaNg (web frontend), File Browser (file manager with video playback), and Rclone (cloud storage sync) into a single multi-arch Docker image. It targets home-server and homelab users who want a complete download-and-manage stack. Key capabilities include Basic Auth, automatic Let's Encrypt HTTPS via Caddy, non-root user mapping (PUID/PGID), and optional auto-upload to cloud providers after downloads finish. The image runs on linux/amd64, linux/arm64, and linux/arm/v7 (Raspberry Pi). Deployment options are a one-line docker run, a docker-compose file, or a Kubernetes manifest. Configuration is done through environment variables for auth, RPC secret, domain, and Rclone settings. No external database or cache is required — everything runs inside the container. The project is actively maintained with recent releases (v6.4.0 in Nov 2025) and uses the Apache-2.0 license.

FAQ
What do I do if I see setcap errors?
Your Linux kernel doesn't support non-root capabilities; set PUID=0 and PGID=0 to run as root.
Why is there no download speed for BitTorrent files?
Download a popular torrent first to populate the DHT cache, then speeds will improve for other downloads.
Why do I get 'Aria2 Status Disconnected' when using a non-80 port or HTTPS?
Set the ARIA2_EXTERNAL_PORT environment variable to the external port and recreate the container.
