Hi,
i’ve been running a Truenas server for a while now. i currently have my totally legally aquired movie saved on there and jellyfin to stream them.
but the one complaint is: i can’t torrent without my Workstation pc running, because its running qbittorrent and uploading it through SMB.
is there any way to install a torrent program on the server and remote control it via my PC? Ideally with magnet link support?
i would imagine it being done via a VM and connecting it to the server via SMB or FTP as well
my electronics engineer brain also had the idea to buy a passively cooled thinkcentre for 50€ on ebay and just keep it running inside my office 24/7.
any help is appreciated!
You could do it on the NAS. Qbittorrent is probably the highest-recommended client right now, and it has a web UI that can be accessed from any other device on your network.
That said, I run one of the tiny Thinkcentres as a dedicated torrent and *arrs box. I think I paid $30 for that one, and it has more than enough power for the task.
yeah, after trying to figure it out for a whole day, i’m tempted to either set up a linux mint vm or just get a slow pc do do it. i don’t care enough.
