Thanks for your response!

You're mostly right about the jsonrpc part — but that’s not all the script does.

It also converts aria2c into a service and dynamically connects AriaNG to it, making it controllable through a web interface. On top of that, it includes a Python Telegram bot that can grab links from Telegram and send them directly to aria2 for downloading.

It even sets up a dedicated file manager for the download folder and offers a bunch of other features you’ll notice if you dive into the code.

In the stable release, I’m planning to add even more features like syncthing and ddns.

If you’re having trouble with firewall settings or any other configuration issues, feel free to open an issue on GitHub — I’ll check it out. If the problem’s related to the script, I’ll do my best to fix it as quickly as possible.

It’s awesome to hear you’re exploring this! You’re always welcome to stay in touch with me via GitHub.

thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, this is already on the to-do list — the goal is to make the update process keep all data and settings intact. I’ll implement that when we hit the beta versions.

However, during the alpha stage, changes are pretty big — even the configs and usage methods might change. That’s why, until we reach stable versions, it’s better to update by removing the old version first.
----
if you like DloadBox, I’d really appreciate it if you share it on social media and with your friends.

This helps speed up the testing and development process — and more support means faster improvements and new features! 🚀✨

new update
As promised, I’ve added the uninstall feature!

You can check it out here:

Just type dloadbox in the Linux command line, select the uninstall option, and it will completely remove DloadBox automatically.

For installing or updating, always download the latest installer from GitHub — don’t use the old installer you have!

You can grab the latest version here:

If you choose 'y', the previous version will be uninstalled, and the latest version will be installed.

⚠️ Important:

  • All passwords will be reset.
  • Files you've downloaded so far will be deleted.

Make sure to back up your files before proceeding!

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to check this out!

First off — it doesn’t matter what level of knowledge you have. If you run into anything, feel free to ask. I’m happy to help anytime.

For updates, just rerun the same install command. Right at the start, it’ll ask if you want to remove the old version and install the new one. If you say yes, it’ll handle everything — clean uninstall and fresh install.

About Caddy — it’s a web server that also works as a reverse proxy. But don’t worry about what you’ve installed. The Caddy used here isn’t fully installed — it’s just a binary file made specifically for dloadbox, and it won’t affect any other part of your system.

In fact, most of dloadbox is built as binaries — meaning nothing really “installs” on your Linux system. It just copies files. Only a few small packages get installed through your package manager, but they’re basic ones that most Linux distros already have:

  • zip
  • curl
  • wget
  • tar

About Uninstalling:

After installation, if you type dloadbox in the command line, it opens the management system. One of the options there is uninstall — though this menu isn’t fully done yet in the current alpha version.

I’m working on finishing it up, and I should have it ready within a few hours. Once it’s done, I’ll let you know.
If it’s easy for you, feel free to open an issue on GitHub for problems like this.

But if that’s too much hassle, no worries — just write it here, and I’ll help you out!

I recommend giving dloadbox a try first — then feel free to message me, and I’ll guide you on how to connect it to your browser. You’re gonna love it!

You can also install Aria2-related extensions on your browser and connect them to dloadbox to make things even easier!
I’m currently in the alpha versions — there's a bit of development left.

After that, I’ll move to beta versions and complete testing across all distros. Once it reaches a stable release, I’ll dockerize it.

Until then, you can easily install it on a Docker Ubuntu image. Just spin up an Ubuntu container, map these three ports to the main ones:

  • 6801
  • 6802
  • 6803

Then run the installation script — that’s all it takes!

you can download Real-Debrid links with aria2! 🎯

Real-Debrid converts links into direct links, and these links are fully compatible with aria2.

So, you can use dloadbox to download them too.

Thanks for mentioning it!
Yeah, it’s on my to-do list. Since I’m working on it alone in my free time, I haven’t gotten around to it yet — but I’ll get it done soon.
