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!

    i had a transmission jail once, but couldn’t figure out where to mount the jail, and how the file paths would have to look. but a jail seems like the way to go. i might be able to put more energy into figuring that out now.
