docker-nextcloud VS docker-rtorrent-rutorrent

I use CrazyMax's image. It was much simpler than both the official image and linuxserver's. It has a docker-compose example.

I’ve been using this: https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-nextcloud

I'm using the crazy-max/docker-rtorrent-rutorrent container. This image is not pre-packaged with lots of plugins I would normally find when renting a seedbox. I can't even delete torrents from my file system (I'm limited to removing the torrents from the client interface itself).

I am trying to follow this guide, but instead of using qbittorrent, I am attempting to use crazymax's rutorrent container.

The docker image for rutorrent is the one of crazy-max ( crazy-max / docker-rtorrent-rutorrent )

https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-rtorrent-rutorrent seems popular but it does so much it's extremely confusing and I see it uses Traefik and when I tried to configure that last I just failed. I want none of this. Frankly, if I didn't fear for a massive breach on my existing server I wouldn't move because the experience is that everything newer is always worse. I was happiest before systemd existed. Simpler times.

I have setup rutorrent on docker and port forwarded through NPM. Everything's seem to work fine except when I try to add torrents in rutorrent and start downloading , it automatically switches to "pausing" mode. After checking logs in rutorrent container, it repeatedly outputs the following;

I installed this https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-rtorrent-rutorrent By doing the command line from the github, only I replaced the puid and pgid with my own, other than that no changes. For reference:

I have an rTorrent/ruTorrent setup on a VPS, using this docker container. It seems using this container, I cannot access rTorrent CLI directly - just ruTorrent or XMLRPC (which I'm not at all familiar with).
