The Run Page

This is where you start downloads. Paste URLs, add options, and let gallery-dl do the work.

How to Use

1. Enter Your URL(s)

Paste one or more URLs into the URL(s) to process field.

• Single URL: Just paste one link
• Multiple URLs: Add more than one URL by:
  • Pressing Enter between each URL (new line)
  • Separating them with spaces
  • Mixing both methods

Examples:

https://example.com/gallery1
https://example.com/gallery2
https://example.com/gallery3

Or on one line: https://example.com/gallery1 https://example.com/gallery2

2. Add Options if you like

The Options field lets you add gallery-dl command-line flags for this specific job.

These are one-off settings that apply only to these URLs. Your site rules and config still apply too.

Common options:

• --range 1-10 - Download first 10 items only
• --verbose - Show detailed output (helpful for debugging)
• --write-metadata - Save metadata files alongside downloads
• --no-skip - Re-download even if files already exist

TIP

Not all gallery-dl options are available. Some are handled by gdluxx in other ways, and some don't/won't work in the Docker environment.

Example: -i and -I aren't needed since you can paste multiple URLs

3. Submit

Click Run to start your job(s).

If you submitted multiple URLs, each becomes a separate job in gdluxx.

What Happens Next

A modal pops up showing the first job's output. You can:

• Watch it in real-time
• Close the modal and do something else
• Check the Jobs page anytime to see progress

Each URL becomes its own job, so you can monitor them individually on the Jobs page.

INFO

gdluxx is just using gallery-dl. So it will not work any quicker, slower, or different from how gallery-dl works when you use it in a terminal

Site Rules & Manual Options

If you have Site Rules set up:

• Your manual options take priority when they conflict
• Site rule options still apply for things you didn't manually specify

Example:

• Site rule for Instagram: --wait 2 --range 1-100
• You manually add: --range 1-50
• Result: Uses --range 1-50 (your override), but still uses --wait 2 (from site rule)

Override Warnings

By default, you'll see a warning if your manual options might override a site rule to help you catch unintended conflicts.

You can disable these warnings if you find them annoying:

• Go to Settings > General Manager
• Find "Show site rule override warnings"
• Uncheck it

See Site Rules for more information.
