myjdownloader

selfhosted webinterface for jdownloader

why

remove dependency on the centralized tunneling service my.jdownloader.org

tunneling services

alternatives to my.jdownloader.org

my.jdownloader.org is just a tunneling service, needed for port-forwarding through closed firewalls, to expose a listening port to the internet

the tunneling service also serves as a cors proxy, otherwise the webapp could not connect to jdownloader at http://localhost:3128/, so even with the "direct connection" mode, the connection is still routed through my.jdownloader.org

no need for tunneling service

a tunneling service is not needed when accessing jdownloader behind a firewall with enabled port-forwarding for jdownloader's port 3128

to check if a port is reachable from the internet, you can use

online port checker services
- https://canyouseeme.org/
- https://portchecker.co/
portscanner apps
- nmap -p 3128 $your_public_ip_address
- nmap -p 3128 your-public-domain-name.duckdns.org

how

jdownloader has a hidden Deprecated API feature

dst="$HOME/.config/jdownloader"
cfg="$dst"/cfg/org.jdownloader.api.RemoteAPIConfig.json
if [ "$(cat "$cfg" | jq -r .deprecatedapienabled)" = "false" ]; then
  cat "$cfg" | jq -c '. * { "deprecatedapienabled": true }' | sponge "$cfg"
fi

My.JDownloader API Documentation

Pro Tip: It's possible to access the JDownloader API directly (Bypass our server) by enabling the so called 'Deprecated API' in the Advanced Options.

when the Deprecated API is enabled, jdownloader will listen on port 3128

see localhost:3128/help for the API docs

now with jdownloader running, you can start the webinterface with

nix-shell
./myjdownloader.py

by default, the webinterface is listening on http://localhost:3129/

source

the initial version was created with webapps-scraper from my.jdownloader.org

the minified javascript sources were unpacked with webcrack

webcrack failed to unpack javascript files generated by GWT so i had to unpack these files with unpack-cache-js-files.sh and unpack-deferredjs-files.sh

mirrors

since jdownloader is ruled by idiots (they still use SVN, Core.jar is still closed-source, ...) i expect that this repo will be censored on github.com so im creating consorship-resistant mirrors in advance
