qBitTorrent is a complete system for mananging torrents. It has server, web, and client components.
I run qBitTorrent-nox, which includes server and web components. I don't need the client app (err, why not though if it doesn't hurt?)
Usage
Configuration
Strangely, the service runs as root but somehow knows to find config etc. under ~m.
Installation
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable sudo apt update sudo apt install -y qbittorrent-nox # next we run it directly to accept license and set things up # you can go to localhost:8080 while it is runnning, but might as well CrtlC and move on qbittorrent-nox Ctrl-C # set up a service, see bandit ~/config/etc/systemd... for details # note that I set up a qbittorrent user to run the service under... # but that just caused a lot of permissions problems so i am not using it
