A simple web client for aria2.
Remote is not built with any fancy framework or library. Remote is built with basic HTML5 features and simple CSS rules, for example:
- aria2 (
>=1.34.0). - A web browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, etc.).
- Deploy Remote to a web server.
- Open a web browser and navigate to where Remote is deployed.
The RPC interface of aria2 must be enabled. For details, refer to the aria2c(1). For example:
enable-rpc=true
rpc-allow-origin-all=true
rpc-listen-all=true
rpc-listen-port=8080
rpc-secret=the-rpc-secret
In Remote, enter the host, port (rpc-listen-port value, or usually the port
listened by the reverse proxy which will forward the requests to aria2), and RPC
authorization secret token (rpc-secret value), then click Submit button.
Remote will connect to aria2 and list all download tasks.
