Docker Compose Alist + Aria2-Pro

Concept

This is a docker compose setup guide for deploying Alist and Aria2-Pro. The combination of these two apps is a good solution to mounting cloud drives and downloading files.

With the help of Docker Compose, you can deploy and set up these apps in just a few minutes.

Before You Start

  • You should have Docker Desktop or Docker Engine installed on your machine.
  • Since we're going to deploy these apps via Docker Compose, the compose plugin should also be enabled.
  • Docker Desktop is for Windows, macOS and Linux desktops, and Docker Engine is for Linux servers.

Deploy Containers with Docker Compose

  1. Clone this repository to where you want to deploy the apps on your machine. All files will be stored in current working directory, aka ${PWD}, by default. If you wish to modify storages, you can do so by modifying the volumes section in the docker-compose.yml file.
  2. Set a RPC_SECRET for Aria2-Pro in docker-compose.yml file.
  3. Run docker compose up -d or docker-compose up -d within the repository to deploy the containers.

šŸ„³ Congrats! You have just deployed the containers.

Visit The Apps with Your Docker Machine's IP Address in Browser

To avoid some network issue, it is recommended to visit all apps using the docker machine's IP address, instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1.

For example, the IP address of my machine is 192.168.1.20, I'll just visit Alist using http://192.168.1.20:5244/.

You can check your IP address by running ifconfig or ipconfig in your terminal.

APP URL
Alist http://${IP_ADDRESS}:5244
Aria2 RPC http://${IP_ADDRESS}:6800
AriaNg http://${IP_ADDRESS}:6880

Setup Alist

To manage Alist, you must first obtain the default password generated at startup by running this command: docker exec -it alist ./alist -password.

Now you can visit Alist in your browser: http://${IP_ADDRESS}:5244/.

Connect Aria2-Pro

In Alist's Settings area, please open Backend tab to configure the Aria2's RPC access.

  • Find Aria2 RPC url, set it to http://${IP_ADDRESS}:6800/jsonrpc.
  • Find Aria2 RPC secret, set it to the RPC_SECRET you have configured in docker-compose.yml.

Mount Cloud Drives

You can mount your Cloud Drives in Alist's Accounts area.

Manage Download Tasks In AriaNg

  1. Open RPC tab in http://${IP_ADDRESS}:6880/#!/settings/ariang.
  2. Set your RPC_SECRET in the Aria2 RPC Secret field.
  3. Click Reload button on popup, and you're good to go.
