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
