has anyone ever heard of mottix?

I find it great, has a nice UI and it gets the job done.

also transmission is an S tier

Seconded for Transmission. It's light on features because (as far as I know) it's the only ine in this list that's built to run unattended in a Docker container, with a web interface.

Qbitorrent, rtorrent and deluge can be run via docker with a web interface.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes but running a web interface on top of rtorrent is not as easy as transmision.

If you're trying to build it all from scratch, sure, but you specifically mentioned docker and there's plenty of high-quality docker images you can use - and it's no harder to use a qBittorrent docker image than a transmission docker image.

Here's the docker command for transmission:

docker run -d \
  --name=transmission \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME= `#optional` \
  -e USER= `#optional` \
  -e PASS= `#optional` \
  -e WHITELIST= `#optional` \
  -e PEERPORT= `#optional` \
  -e HOST_WHITELIST= `#optional` \
  -p 9091:9091 \
  -p 51413:51413 \
  -p 51413:51413/udp \
  -v /path/to/data:/config \
  -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads \
  -v /path/to/watch/folder:/watch \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/transmission:latest

and the equivelant for qBitTorrent:

docker run -d \
  --name=qbittorrent \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e WEBUI_PORT=8080 \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -p 6881:6881 \
  -p 6881:6881/udp \
  -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
  -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest

I'm not even going to argue that the qBitTorrent docker image is technically easier as it has less to configure, it's all one command at the end of the day.

I don't want to argue about that, I personally avoid Docker if I can, but can't deny it's a great tool and very powerful for the right use cases.

What I wonder is: to you, in your opinion, those commands are really easier than "apt install transmission"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you read up through the thread, the person I responded to specifically said about transmission being the easiest to run via docker.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, my apologies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Qbittorrent-nox is available as a package on all major distors afaik. It has an official docker image aswell. Couldn't be any simpler to set up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I used to use it but then I just downloaded aria2 (what motrix is using) and it's as fast as motrix with a little bit of configuration. aria2 supports both direct downloads and magnet links, it's a command line tool though
