deluge-windscribe-ephemeral-port

Automatically create ephemeral ports in windscribe and update deluge config to use the new port

Important information

This project was designed to work along side containers like kabe0/deluge-windscribe in mind.
It will not help you configure windscribe to use a vpn!
It will only update the port that deluge listens on to the same port that's configured on windscribe website.

Configuration

Configuration is done using environment variables

Variable	Description	Required	Default
WINDSCRIBE_USERNAME	username you use to login at windscribe.com/login	YES
WINDSCRIBE_PASSWORD	password you use to login at windscribe.com/login	YES
DELUGE_URL	The base URL for the deluge web UI	YES
DELUGE_PASSWORD	The password for the deluge web UI	YES
CRON_SCHEDULE	An extra cron schedule used to periodically validate and update the port if needed. Disabled if left empty	NO
DELUGE_HOST_ID	The internal host id to connect to in the deluge web UI. It will be printed in stdout after the first successful connection to deluge	Only if you have more then one connection configured in connection manager	If you have multiple configured in deluge web ui the app will print them out and crash. If you have only one that one will be used and you don't need to specify it explicitly
WINDSCRIBE_RETRY_DELAY	how long to wait (in milliseconds) before retrying after a windscribe error. For example a failed login.	NO	3600000 (1 hour)
WINDSCRIBE_EXTRA_DELAY	how long to wait (in milliseconds) after the ephemeral port expires before trying to create a new one.	NO	60000 (1 minute)
DELUGE_RETRY_DELAY	how long to wait (in milliseconds) before retrying after a deluge error. For example a failed login.	NO	300000 (5 minutes)
CACHE_DIR	A directory where to store cached data like windscribe session cookies	NO	/cache in the docker container and ./cache everywhere else
