service rtorrent does not start about iocage-plugin-rtorrent-flood HOT 3 OPEN

Unfortunately, I've been working through the same thing. Try running simply 'rtorrent' rather than the 'service rtorrent start'. This gives more information.

If you're like me then you will receive something like "ld-elf-.so-1: /usr/local/lib/libtorrent.so.21: Undefined symbol "pthread_setname_np"

I've read somewhere that it has to do with the "-DTHREADS_HAVE_PTHREAD_ARG:BOOL=YES" argument in the makefile but have yet to overcome this. I think it also may have something to do with the FreeBSD update but I have little evidence of that as well.

Interestingly, when installing an rtorrent pkg on a clean jail with release 12.2 there are no issues and rottrent runs smoothly. It has something specifically to do with how this plugin is being installed that is creating a problem. At the moment I'm trying to work around it in the clean jail to install Flood.

Since there's not too much back and forth on this one I resorted to installing rtorrent in a TrueNAS 12.2 jail, and it worked no problems. So from there I ended up doing a build of flood using npm and finally installing the nginx lite packages and got it working via xmlrpc as seen in http://elektito.com/2016/02/10/rtorrent-xmlrpc/. This only needed a slight bit of configuration changes to get working.

I now have a problem where the flood server becomes inaccessible after time but I believe that likely to be a jail networking issue rather than a pure problem with rtorrent or flood. Good luck with it!

Same issue here, I made a clean 12.2 jail and manually installed the packages (pkg, npm, tmux, rtorrent from memory), copied the overlay files from this repository and did the post install steps from the file in this repository (adjusted the user UID to match my mounted download folder). It now seems to be working.
I skipped over the OpenVPN part.
