Hei, could you please provide me a guide on how to install jdownloader as a container?
Thank you for your time
 
Thank you very much.
I already tried this solution.
The container starts but jdownloader doesn't work

What do I have to do to make it work?

I tried to connect to ip_address:5800 but I just get a blank page

Maybe you missed the hint:

You must setup jdownloader2 in LXC console first Run from the LXC console and follow the instructions: sudo -u jdown2 java -jar /opt/jdown2/JDownloader.jar -norestart

In my opinion a VM would be much better. The my.jdownloader.org really sucks. It's super buggy and fails or loses the connection. You are forced to use their online services and can't host it locally (there are third party softwares that can use the jdownloader protocol to remote control it locally, but these clients are also buggy...). Not great for anonymity as the machine you use to control your jdownloader is also linked to the IP that is downloading, as both IPs need to access my.jdownloader.org. And the machine you control it with is probably also used to access your social media, so really easy to link the downloading IP to your actual name and phone number that you probably registered on your name. So using VPNs and so one won't add any additional privacy. It is really laggy and horrible to use.
You will get a way better experience with a Linux VM with a desktop environment and SPICE as remote desktop.

I personally used Debian as it is very stable and I'm most experianced with it. But as Jdownloader uses Java, you can run it only basically everything you like.
