    chrisgahlert/jdownloader2-vnc
# Now you can connect to the host via VNC using the 
# default password "jd2".

In order to change the default password you can use:

docker run \
    -p 5900:5900 \
    -e PASSWORD="mypassword" \
    chrisgahlert/jdownloader2-vnc

Permissions & Persistence

Persist downloads

In order to persist your downloads into a directory on your host system you can mount any folder into the container:

docker run \
    -p 5900:5900 \
    -v /download/dir/on/host:/download \
    chrisgahlert/jdownloader2-vnc
# Remember to configure JDownloader's 
# default download directory to "/download" 
# in this case

User/Group

Often it is undesirable that downloads created by the container are owned by root. For that reason you can modify the user/group that is used to run JDownloader:

docker run \
    -p 5900:5900 \
    -v /download/dir/on/host:/download \
    -e USER_ID=1000 \
    -e GROUP_ID=100 \
    chrisgahlert/jdownloader2-vnc
# Please make sure that the download directory 
# on the host is writable by the user defined above.

JD config

If you want to persist JDownloader's settings you can mount the /app folder onto your host system like this:

docker run \
    -p 5900:5900 \
    -v /jd_conf/dir/on/host:/app \
    chrisgahlert/jdownloader2-vnc
# If combined with custom user/group id, 
# make sure that this directory is also writable.

Putting all options together

docker run \
    -p 5900:5900 \
    -v /download/dir/on/host:/download \
    -v /jd_conf/dir/on/host:/app \
    -e WIDTH=1024 \
    -e HEIGHT=768 \
    -e PASSWORD="mypassword" \
    -e USER_ID=1000 \
    -e GROUP_ID=100 \
