flood VS docker-qbittorrent

Why bake libtransmission into the app instead of just using the transmission daemon's RPC?

What you've done actually makes it harder to use, because in order to configure any of transmission's settings (ports, connection/torrent connection limits, bandwith limits, etc) the user needs to dig around to find the transmission config folder and then manually edit JSON with a text editor - because your client doesn't expose any of transmissions numerous settings [1] to the user except for choosing the download folder.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use this instead of Flood [2] or even old Transmission Web Control [3]

Only one that I'm aware of is Flood: https://github.com/jesec/flood

If you haven't seen the https://flood.js.org project before. It has subjectively a nicer ui and works with qbittorent.

You can install alternate web UIs very easy. I’m a big fan of Flood, which is mobile friendly: https://flood.js.org/

One note: I lean heavily on an API to manage it so I'd love to continue using flood, I tested qbittorrent with it briefly and it didn't go well.

You mean a torrent client? I’m using rTorrent with Flood (the new jesec fork that’s actually active) and it works brilliantly on mobile

https://flood.js.org/ ?

If it's just the web ui you're worried about perhaps look into installing Flood & see if it helps? It's going to be a better web ui overall. (I've never needed to use it personally but it's been recommended in the pat)

qbitorrent-nox with flood-ui

Impressive. But I dont get why they would rebuild the web client when there are existing options like: https://github.com/jesec/flood

Say I wanted to run this container on k3s. How do I specify PUID, PGID, WEBUI_PORT, and the volumes? This is literally the only thing keeping me from jumping headfirst into k3s. I have no intention of running anything docker in the near future and onwards, but I need to know how I can switch without using something like kompose (I don't want to trust a script with my deployment options, I want to do it by hand like I used to with Docker).

Here is a link to an issue I found on the linuxserver/docker-qbittorrent repo discussing the issue I'm currently having.

# https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-qbittorrent qbittorrent: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: qbittorrent network_mode: service:nordvpn environment: - PUID=13002 - PGID=13000 - TZ=${TIMEZONE} - UMASK=002 volumes: - ${ROOT_DIR}/docker/qbittorrent-config:/config - ${ROOT_DIR}/data/torrents:/data/torrents restart: unless-stopped depends_on: - vpn

In "docker ps" you'll see the EXPOSE Ports defined in the Dockerfile of your Image. They are only accessable in their own networks unless you just bridge your container to your host's network (not recommended).

My only issue is the the linuxserver/qbittorrent container doesn't always start up after a server reboot, I've just filed a github issue about this: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-qbittorrent/issues/167
