Description

I've recently rebuilt me entire torrent library (backing up my *.torrent, starting docker compose from scratch and adding all the torrent back together after). I was using an old version of the docker image (can't remember which one) and I've upgraded to the latest (5.2.10-0.15.5-r0), but since then, all torrent using a private tracker with SSL are failing with Tracker: [SSL connect error].

I've customised the .rtlocal.rc to allow for external watch mount point to NAS:

...
method.insert = cfg.logs, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"log/")
method.insert = cfg.session, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),".session/")
# 10/08/2025 - Changed mount path
method.insert = cfg.watch, private|const|string, (cat, "/watch/")
method.insert = cfg.rundir, private|const|string, (cat,"/var/run/rtorrent/")
...

changed the default .rtorrent.rc to change the behaviour for the watch folder:

...
# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been deleted
# 10/08/2025 - directory.watch.added = (cat,(cfg.watch)), load.start
# 10/08/2025
schedule2 = watch_directory, 1, 1, (cat,"load.start=",(cfg.watch),"*.torrent")
# end
schedule2 = untied_directory, 5, 5, (cat,"stop_untied=",(cfg.watch),"*.torrent")
...

I've built the docker image locally:
docker buildx bake
and customised the compose.yml to use that local image and allow for CIFS mount points to my NAS and match the watch folder mount:

Expected behaviour

Connection to both HTTP and HTTPS tracker should work.

Actual behaviour

Getting an Tracker: [SSL connect error] error.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start fresh instance
  2. Add a torrent from private tracker
  3. SSL error
