I have qBittorrent in a docker container. Looking to create a torrent. All the tutorials I see are for qBittorrent running on bare metal. Does anyone know how I do this? My container has access to the file.

The docker version doesn't have the "create torrent" feature included in the regular version.

Oh thatll do it. From here https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-qbittorrent/issues/136

"Iirc qbittorrent's torrent creator is for windows only. On linux, you can use mktorrent to create them"

This isn't true. I'm on Linux and just created a torrent maybe 3 minutes ago. It's under the "Tools" option in the toolbar at the top. It can also be opened with "Ctrl+N". Maybe it's just not a thing with the docker version?

Yeah, I saw that. I'm not great with the command line so I was hoping there was another way.

No better way to learn than real world application honestly.

Transmission comes preinstalled on some Linux distros.
