+# rtorrent Docker images for OpenShift
+
+## Description
+
+This project proposes ready-to-use templates to deploy rtorrent
+on OpenShift.
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Base Image
+
+If you are on OpenShift Origin, import the `centos` image in the `openshift` namespace:
+
+```sh
+oc import-image -n openshift centos7 --from docker.io/centos:7 --confirm --scheduled
+```
+
+If you are on OpenShift Container Platform, import the `rhel` image in the `openshift` namespace:
+
+```sh
+oc import-image -n openshift rhel7 --from registry.access.redhat.com/rhel7:7.4 --confirm --scheduled
+```
+
+### Pre-requisites
+
+Open the bittorrent ports, as explained [in the OpenShift documentation](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.9/architecture/core_concepts/pods_and_services.html#service-nodeport).
+
+Namely, you will have to add to your `/etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+kubernetesMasterConfig:
+  servicesNodePortRange: '6880-6900'
+```
+
+And then restart with:
+
+```sh
+sudo systemctl restart atomic-openshift-master-controllers
+sudo systemctl restart atomic-openshift-master-api
+```
+
+On each node that will run `rtorrent`, you will have to add an exception in the
+`iptables` chain `OS_FIREWALL_ALLOW`.
+
+To add them permanently, use:
+
+```sh
+cat <<EOF >> /etc/sysconfig/iptables
+-A OS_FIREWALL_ALLOW -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 6881 -j ACCEPT
+-A OS_FIREWALL_ALLOW -m state --state NEW -p udp --match multiport --dports 6890:6899 -j ACCEPT
+-A OS_FIREWALL_ALLOW -m state --state NEW -p tcp --match multiport --dports 6890:6899 -j ACCEPT
+EOF
+```
+
+### Deploy rtorrent
+
+Create all the Kubernetes objects:
+
+```sh
+oc new-project rtorrent
+oc process -f rtorrent.yaml -p NODE_IP_ADDRESS=1.2.3.4 | oc create -f -
+```
+
+Give an additional role to our service account to allow the oauth proxy 
+to authenticate users.
+
+```sh
+oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user system:auth-delegator -z rtorrent -n rtorrent
+```
