Plugins autostart not working

[golya87]

There were a few issues in Github (#133 #140 #144) about plugins won’t start without opening the webGUI. Sadly editing the rtorrent.rc or using the newest Docker image versions didn’t help.

My system:
x64 Debian Buster with latest Docker CE
linuxserver/rutorrent:v3.9-ls75
linuxserver/rutorrent:beta (#149)
without any modification.

My starting command:
docker run -d --rm --name=rutorrent_new -p 800:80 -p 51413:51413 -e PGID=1111 -e PUID=1007 -v /strg/docker/rutorrent_new:/config -v /strg/free:/downloads/incoming -v /strg/wch:/downloads/watched -e TZ=Europe/Budapest linuxserver/rutorrent:v3.9-ls75

Without opening the webGUI the History plugin didn’t work:

Opening the webGUI and closing it right after (or keeping it open):

I’ve tried the Autotools plugin’s AutoWatch feature, same behaviour.
Executing /usr/bin/php7 /app/rutorrent/php/initplugins.php abc & didn’t help.

Should I open a Github issue, or reopen #133?
What else could I try to solve this issue?

Found the solution.
If you use only one user (abc) use this line in rtorrent.rc instead of the default:

execute2 = {sh,-c,/usr/bin/php7 /app/rutorrent/php/initplugins.php &}

For me that caused it to not load at all… it’s too bad I thought you had figured it out, it’s been a pain for me for a long time but cannot get it working properly.

Is there any error message? How do you know it wasn’t load at all?
