aMuleis a free peer-to-peer file sharing utility that works with the eDonkey network and the Kad network, offering similar features to eMule and adding others such as GeoIP (country flags). On August 18, 2003 it was forked from the xMule source code, which itself is a fork of the lMule project, which was the first attempt to bring the eMule client to Linux. These projects were discontinued and aMule is the resulting project, though aMule has less and less[clarification needed] resemblance to the client that sired it.

aMule aims to be portable over multiple platforms and is doing this with the help of the wxWidgets library. Currently supported systems include Linux, macOS, various BSD-derived systems, Windows, Irix and Solaris. Beside the stable releases the project also offers SVN versions as an unstable release.


According to the aMule official FAQ, these are the default ports. Server ports 4661 TCP and 4665 UDP are only used by the EDonkey network. Therefore, the Kad Network will only use 4662 TCP and 4672 UDP. The traffic direction is from client perspective:


aMule can be compiled using -disable-monolithic parameter: this allows aMule to be run in a modular way. This means that the core functionalities of the program can be started using amuled, the aMule daemon while the software behavior can be controlled through three different interfaces:


Thanks for the links. Yes, I have libupnp installed, but I've just checked amule PKGBUILD and maybe the solution is to add "--with-libupnp-prefix=/usr/lib" to configure, unless it is working for you, is it?


Advised? No. ryecoaaron has advised against this on multiple occasions. As I recall, a desktop GUI will attempt to control some configurations, etc. that the webUI also wants to control, thus causing problems.


I've already tried this solution, but it doesn't work for me. What I need is to install emule and it works fine. The dockers that I have tried are not quite working. A VM with emule, I don't know why, it crashes.


Yes. You'd just install it directly on Debian Server (look for those instructions)... and it would essentially run "beside" OMV. Remember, OMV is not the OS, Debian is. So if you can find some instructions for a Debian Server install, and none of the ports interfere with OMV , it should be fine (looks like it uses ports in the 4700 range, so it should be OK)...


Is maybe a Pi3 or Pi 4.. install Rasbian, which is a full desktop GUI.. Install Amule on that.. then just mount a couple of NFS shares from your server on the Pi for storage. It would technically be separate machines, but all the data would be on your server, while the Pi essentially just ran the desktop and the Amule service.


I already thought about that option. I've been trying many things for a long time. I tested it as you say, with a PI3 that I have in a drawer and with raspbian. It works. But I don't like the idea of having two machines 24/7 (even if the PI consumes little), it's more headaches. I prefer to solve everything on the same machine.


I recently installed amule on ubuntu from CLI and it works flawlessly. So it should work on Debian too. I'm going to test on another PC that I use for backups, my main OMV system doesn't use it for these things. In fact, I am downloading OMV 6 to try it on that version, to see if it holds up. I would not want to do it in OMV 5 and in two months it will not work with the update. If all goes well then I will mimic the installation on my main server.


Yes, I have also tried your docker, I think I have already tried everything there is. Thank you for your work. Mldonkey works but is complicated to use. The interface is very spartan and has too many options. My wife must use it too and mldonkey is uncomfortable. She won't accept any learning curve. So mldonkey does not work for me, I need amule.


I have found another way that maybe works, there is a docker with rdesktop. Maybe it will allow me to install amule inside rdesktop. It could be a more stable option than installing amule directly on debian. What do you think?


If that is the case though... Just do a minimal Debian or Ubuntu docker.. put a simple gui on it (lxde, openbox) and install amule there. If you only install minimum libraries and not all the office, etc... The image might be a little big.. but that may work


It is already proven. It does not work. Same problem as with KVM. When I install amule it apparently works. I put a long list of files to download, and after a while it crashes. I do not know if it is a problem of lack of ram, or maybe network configurations ...


It seemed like a good idea to install amule directly on debian (OMV), but after thinking about it it might not be a good solution. I would need amuleGUI to handle it and I can't get it to work. Unfortunately I am considering mounting the NAS on ubuntu server with graphical environment (some simple desktop) and accessing it from the remote desktop of windows or VNC.

i had a tinker about using the amule package in ubuntu (specifically amuled with the webserver enabled) and i can get the webserver page up and running, but to be honest i don't know how to use it or get it to do anything as it's been over a decade since i last edonkey or kad.


You've got a success with getting to run on ubuntu with official repositories?, I know there's a subversion with many fixes so It would be nice to include in docker because (smdion's BETA Repository) have a python...


Very nice, if I remember the dependency for upnp is "libupnp" but strange you cannot pin that. I see you use wxWidgets 2.8.12, have you tried with 3.0 version?. In addition, I see someone recomends to use "asio sockets" (with boost) for performance intead of the defaults.


I'd first to give the thanks sparklyballs for the update to wxGTK v3, now it seems the log file always report this message and loops every 2 or 3 minutes but I only see one process of aMule, so don't know what happens.


if you update the container from an earlier version then the template won't be set in amule.conf as i didn't set it to overwrite existing config files in case you have set anything there for yourself.


When you have a time, sparklyballs can you check this and compile amule again?, because a I have many errors in log file from remote control gui. If you go to this support sites from amule then you can resolve this by using:


I agree it would be a very sensible option to include amuled. I keep my own local version of the PKGBUILD just for having this binary and amulegui, it is so much lighter than the main GUI binary. As it is, I would rip and edit the upstream PKGBUILD in community, but instead of dumping files in /var (a silly decision, IMHO), I would use the default to use my own home directory and convert the systemd unit to be a user service.


If you're the developer, simply remove this flag from your code to avoid getting this message. You can also call wxSizerFlags::DisableConsistencyChecks() to globally disable all such checks, but this is strongly not recommended.


Also I installed amule-utils and amule-gnome-support... any clue about what is the problem? Any extra line is needed in version 6? I have not been able to find any concrete information about version 6...


I've got the same problem. My firefox3.6.18 on ubuntu10.04 can not recognize ed2k. As google shows several ways to solve this problem, I tried for hours and all failed (include the above ones). Finally sudo apt-get install amule-gnome-support, everything works fine now.


As my consideration, ubuntu 11.04 is a problem itself. So is firefox 5. I've never heard firefox 6 before. For my painful firefox 4, I'll never use that soft until my firefox3.6.18 crashed some 10 years later
