There are some minor details that changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

# Install the base (core) software first\n# This example is for entware\nopkg install aria2\n\n# Download the package from Github zip to \/opt\/tmp\nwget -c -O \/opt\/tmp\/webui-aria2.zip https:\/\/github.com\/ziahamza\/webui-aria2\/archive\/master.zip --no-check-certificate\n\n# Make sure you have some web server installed (nginx, httpd, apache, etc.)\n# Nginx HTTP server instructions\n# https:\/\/hqt.ro\/nginx-web-server-with-php-support-through-entware\/\n# Make sure you know what {Webroot} is\n# for Nginx, {Webroot} is \/opt\/share\/nginx\/html\n\n# Unpack to the zip file at \/opt\/tmp and clean up the zip\nunzip \/opt\/tmp\/webui-aria2.zip -d \/opt\/tmp\/ && rm \/opt\/tmp\/webui-aria2.zip\n# Move\/rename to desired location\nmv \/opt\/tmp\/webui-aria2-master {Webroot}\/aria2<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Nginx defaults to port 82 (change it to where you set your web server). The WebUI can be accessed at http:\/\/your_server_here:82\/aria2\/docs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/doc is inconvenient, so I created a redirection by placing this index.html under aria2’s root folder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0; url='.\/docs'\" \/><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The RPC host breaks out of the box because the you’ll need to make a few adjustments to \/opt\/etc\/aria2.conf<\/code> before you can start the service without crashing it (so the WebUI of course will complain with a lot of cryptic error messages):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# Basic Options\ndir={Change it to a viable folder that has enough space if \/opt\/var\/aria2\/downloads\n is is not big enough}\n\n# RPC Options\n# Unless you want to get a certificate, you'll need to use unsecure mode:\nrpc-secure=false\n# Change your rpc-secret to be matched in \"Connection Settings\" in the WebUI\nrpc-secret=whatever_passphrase_you_like<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
After you get the config file correct <\/p>\n\n\n\n
# Start the installed aria2 service \n$ (the package already have a service wrap over aria2c)\n# aria2 seem to assume it's port 81 so the init.d script has a \"S81\" prefix, but aria2 does not control the port, where you put the WebUI in http. So it's just a cosmetic filename naming convention.\n\/opt\/etc\/init.d\/S81aria2 start<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If the service wouldn’t start (some bad configs might have the service reported as “done” and after you check again in a second with “S81aria2 check<\/code>“, it’ll report as “dead”. You can debug by looking at what went wrong at \/opt\/var\/log\/aria2.log<\/code>. That’s how I figured I need to turn off “rpc-secure<\/code>” parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
