In my effort to detach the torrent downloader from my home box stack, I need to connect to a remote instance of rtorrent from radarr...

I'm trying to test the setup with rtorrent on a remote server. I used swizzin' to install the rtorrent. I just subtituted 'localhost' to my server IP; but i get the error message above. I have followed the guide tried both with SSL and without.

Also I dont see the directory anywhere "/rutorrent/plugins/httprpc/action.php".

Edit2: you can see my progress in this blog post here!

Edit3: okay i was able to open the listen port by adding to rtorrent.rc: network.scgi.open_port = "127.0.0.1:5000"

but the log now says: 2022-11-25 04:07:30.8|Trace|RadarrErrorPipeline|Handling Exception 2022-11-25 04:07:30.8|Warn|RadarrErrorPipeline|Invalid request Validation failed: -- Host: Unable to connect to rTorrent 2022-11-25 04:07:30.8|Trace|Http|Res: 1529 [POST] /api/v3/downloadclient/test: 400.BadRequest (100029 ms) 2022-11-25 04:07:30.8|Debug|Api|[POST] /api/v3/downloadclient/test: 400.BadRequest (100029 ms) 2022-11-25 04:07:31.4|Trace|Http|Req: 1539 [GET] /api/v3/log/file (from ::ffff:192.168.1.232 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0) 2022-11-25 04:07:31.4|Trace|Http|Res: 1539 [GET] /api/v3/log/file: 200.OK (1 ms) 2022-11-25 04:07:31.4|Debug|Api|[GET] /api/v3/log/file: 200.OK (1 ms) 2022-11-25 04:07:36.1|Trace|Http|Req: 1540 [GET] /logfile/radarr.trace.txt (from ::ffff:192.168.1.232 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0) also i had to comment out the linux socket xrpc config and rutorrent cannot connect.

also i cannot find the rpc folder in the plugins directory for "/plugins/rpc/rpc.php"?

i tried testing connecting locally from within the VPS it works with the following settings: Name: rTorrent rTorrent host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 443 URL Path: /rutorrent/plugins/httprpc/action.php Use SSL: ON Username: <your username> Password: <your password> Add label to torrent: TV (or anything else you desire) Optional - Downloaded files location: <custom directory> so it's basically rtorrent.rc setup issue... need to switch from sockets to network ports like I said above, but i'm not familiar with the file. it's gonna be quite a read with the docs :)

Success! Just had to setup a nginx reverse proxy to the unix socket instead: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/RPC-Setup-XMLRPC
