Creating (and seeding) new torrents using a docker qBittorrent client
reddit / selfhosted

Is there a docker version of qBittorrent which has the "create
torrent" feature enabled? It's on the bare-metal version of qB but not
on the linuxerver.io docker version.

Yesterday, I created a new torrent file (I installed mktorrent in the
qBittorrent container itself so the folder mappings would match) and
tried to seed my new file that way, but I couldn't get it to work.

Is there a way to do this in the docker version? Is there a tutorial
on how to do this? Feeling pretty stupid right now.

Was recently dealing with the same scenario. I didn't really resolve
it any better. In the end, I upped my torrent (created with mktorrent)
to my tracker of choice then downloaded it from there to add to
qBittorrent. Not very elegant but functional.

I don't think creating torrents is supported on the web UI of
qbittorrent, even on bare metal.
