I have created a Dockerfile which will compile the latest version of qBittorrent which has experimental I2P support into a docker container with VNC support. The reason for this is my server is headless and I wanted to use the v4.6.x version of qBittorrent, but the qbittorrent-nox version of v4.6.x does not have I2P options yet. So I had to build the GUI version on top of a VNC image.
In doing so, this will build a container that has VNC capabilities where you can utilize a desktop environment to setup the GUI version of qBittorrent with your I2P settings, and then just use the web-ui from there on.
Why?
I am a qBittorrent user and wanted to start downloading and cross-seeding torrents with I2P, so I built this image as a drop in replacement of my
linuxserver/qbittorrent
docker container and it just works.Why don’t you post the docker image?
I am not sure how yet, and I also left it as a Dockerfile so that you can build this on ARM or x86-64 depending on your needs
Note
This image can be quite heavy and take a long time to build, but until v4.6.x is out of beta, this will do.
Glad to see that working still! Torrenting over I2P is sort of a fail-safe option for people in somewhat oppressive places where VPNs may be illegal. Also, with the recent port-forwarding removal in Mullvad, this makes it harder moving forward to try and seed content without being able to make a direct connection with open ports.
