# qBittorrent-nox Docker Image
This Dockerfile allows you to build a Docker Image containing qBittorrent-nox
## Prerequisites
In order to build/run this image you'll need Docker installed: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
If you don't need the GUI, you can just install Docker Engine: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
It is also recommended to install Docker Compose as it can significantly ease the process: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
## Building Docker Image
* If you are using Docker (not Docker Compose) then run the following commands in this folder:
```shell
export \
QBT_VERSION=devel
docker build \
--build-arg QBT_VERSION \
-t qbittorrent-nox:"$QBT_VERSION" \
.
```
* If you are using Docker Compose then you should edit `.env` file first.
You can find an explanation of the variables in the following [Parameters](#parameters) section. \
Then run the following commands in this folder:
```shell
docker compose build \
--build-arg QBT_VERSION
```
### Parameters
#### Environment variables
* `QBT_EULA` \
This environment variable defines whether you accept the end-user license agreement (EULA) of qBittorrent. \
**Put `accept` only if you understand and accepted the EULA.** You can find
the EULA [here](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/blob/56667e717b82c79433ecb8a5ff6cc2d7b315d773/src/app/main.cpp#L320-L323).
* `QBT_VERSION` \
This environment variable specifies the version of qBittorrent-nox to be built. \
For example, `4.4.0` is a valid entry. You can find all tagged versions [here](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/tags). \
Or you can put `devel` to build the latest development version.
* `QBT_WEBUI_PORT` \
This environment variable sets the port number which qBittorrent WebUI will be binded to.
#### Volumes
There are some paths involved:
* `<your_path>/config` \
Full path to a folder on your host machine which will store qBittorrent configurations.
Using relative path won't work.
* `<your_path>/downloads` \
Full path to a folder on your host machine which will store the files downloaded by qBittorrent.
Using relative path won't work.
## Running container
* Using Docker (not Docker Compose), simply run:
```shell
export \
QBT_EULA=accept \
QBT_VERSION=devel \
QBT_WEBUI_PORT=8080 \
QBT_CONFIG_PATH="/tmp/bbb/config"
QBT_DOWNLOADS_PATH="/tmp/bbb/downloads"
docker run \
-t \
--read-only \
--rm \
--tmpfs /tmp \
--name qbittorrent-nox \
-e QBT_EULA \
-e QBT_WEBUI_PORT \
-p "$QBT_WEBUI_PORT":"$QBT_WEBUI_PORT"/tcp \
-p 6881:6881/tcp \
-p 6881:6881/udp \
-v "$QBT_CONFIG_PATH":/config \
-v "$QBT_DOWNLOADS_PATH":/downloads \
qbittorrent-nox:"$QBT_VERSION"
```
* Using Docker Compose:
```shell
docker compose up
```
Then you can login at: `http://127.0.0.1:8080`
## Stopping container
* Using Docker (not Docker Compose):
```shell
docker stop -t 1800 qbittorrent-nox
```
* Using Docker Compose:
```shell
docker compose down
```
