We don’t do VNC/GUI based containers right now, I recommend using this instead: https://github.com/jlesage/docker-jdownloader-2

thanks for your input and suggestion. i will try this one out…
can you please mark this request closed and keep it here so that there wont be a similar request in the future?

I would like to bring that request back on the table.

But I don’t request a GUI oder VNC Container here. Jdownloader is capable of running headless. On could use a Jdownloader Instance on a Computer to connect to it or use https://my.jdownloader.org to control it. There is a image I’m aware of doing that: GitHub - jaymoulin/docker-jdownloader: JDownloader 2 Docker Image (Multiarch) - Passed 40M Downloads

However, while this particular image is the best currently available, it’s not working properly in all cases and is not satisfying. Something like this on the linuxserver quality level would be great!

Hi
+1 to request.
Jdownloader can be run headless via My JDownloader.
While this Docker Hub exists, it has many problems (like JDownloader not starting at all, while container is runned), and it wasn’t updated for almost half year.

I just discovered LinuxServer.io and it’s qualitative containers (great job!).
I have to add my +1 to this request because there is no proper alternative. :slight_smile:

jdownloader2 container from linuxserver.io would be lovely

I have found a program called FreeRapid to be a nice open source alternative to jdownloader2

Regarding JDownloader:

  • It seems we now have many KasmVNC-based LSIO images (e.g. firefox), so I believe the reason given in the first response doesn’t apply anymore.
  • The docker image jlesage/jdownloader-2 mentioned in that response is still valid and being updated, and it supports x86 and arm.

Alternatives:

  • FreeRapid seems abandoned, with mentions to getting the source-code from subversion. No one uses subversion anymore in over a decade.
  • If you are interested in a lightweight downloader, try using pyload-ng.

+1 I also want this container made by linuxserver (In headless mode if it is possible)

i just update my chromium yesterday and shock by how smooth and capable of passing my clipboard without even put it on clipboard box. i hope someone on LinuxServer.io can build Jdownloader2 with Selkies. like the latest chromium that also uses Selkies

Honestly this might sounds stupid but how would you version control and ingest this? They have jars on mega of all places and do not use github or any other public source tracking that I can find. I can hack around the website and parse versions but that is fragile.

We maintain hundreds of images I cannot babysit one to constantly update endpoint to ingest software from.
AUR would be an option with Arch but that is a lot of bloat and again you are in the same boat with potential malware.

If you all want this pressure the devs to distro their stuff more transparently everything about this program screams malware to me.
