Watch Folder #22

Open leeiberry opened 5 years ago

leeiberry commented 5 years ago

is it possible to include a watch folder ?

ie RSS feeder loads torrent files into the watched folder , then Qbittorent processes them

thanman85 commented 5 years ago

qbittorrent has a watched folder option under Options -> Downloads -> Automatically add torrents from

Just setup your own folder when creating / running the image with additional volume option: -v /path/to/your/folder:/monitored

then set the monitored folder to "/monitored" (sans quotes) in qbittorrent

qbittorrent can handle .torrent and .magnet links and auto add them

Were you able to get this functioning properly? I'm only able to pick up the monitored folder on initialization of the container. Seems to be an issue with qbittorrent, although a lot of people claim this is a good workaround: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27412061/on-ubuntu-is-there-a-way-to-automatically-move-files-to-another-directory-as-th

Lucky for me it doesn't seem to work w/ this container..

This seemed to fix it for me:

  1. Add a watch directory in qBittorrent
  2. Open "/config/qBittorrent/config/watched_folders.json"
  3. Change recursive from false to true
