qBittorrent has a feature-rich Web UI allowing users to control qBittorrent remotely. Up until v2.1.0, qBittorrent required a X server to run because its Qt4 graphical user interface could not be disabled. However, it is often the case that Linux servers are not running any X server. To allow users to run qBittorrent v2 on a computer without X we separated the GUI code from the core in qBittorrent v2.1.0.

== Install qBittorrent-nox (from binary package) ==
|
||||
Many distributions package qBittorrent-nox into a different package.
|
||||
|
||||
For Ubuntu:
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to the updated guide [[Setting-up-qBittorrent-on-Ubuntu-server-as-daemon-with-Web-interface-(15.04-and-newer)|here]].
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On OpenSUSE:
|
||||
|
||||
You have to install the same named package (as of 13.1):
|
||||
|
||||
sudo zypper in qbittorrent-nox
|
||||
|
||||
There is no PPA for OpenSUSE, but you can check the [https://build.opensuse.org/ Build Service] (OBS in short) for new packages.
|
||||
Use these only on your own risk. Those are not our packages, we don't check them.
|
||||
|
||||
== Compile from source - How to disable qBittorrent's GUI ==
|
||||
First of all, you need to understand that qBittorrent graphical user interface can only be disabled at compilation time.
|
||||
To disable qBittorrent Graphical User Interface, you should run the configure file as follows:
|
||||
./configure --disable-gui
|
||||
|
||||
Then compile qBittorrent as usual:
|
||||
make && sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
== Run qBittorrent-nox ==
|
||||
qBittorrent-nox can be launched as usual with the following command:
|
||||
qbittorrent-nox
|
||||
|
||||
Note that qBittorrent-nox is a terminal application and it will not run as a daemon. As a consequence, it is advised to run qBittorrent-nox within [https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ GNU Screen], using '''detach''' feature so that the user can conveniently logout from the system while keeping the file transfers active.
|
||||
|
||||
== Control qBittorrent-nox ==
|
||||
qBittorrent-nox ships a feature-rich Web UI that is almost identical to qBittorrent graphical user interface. The Web UI can be accessed via most Web Browsers (including Firefox, Chromium, IE7/8).
|
||||
|
||||
When the GUI is disabled, the Web UI is automatically enabled and running as a default on:
|
||||
http://server-ip:8080
|
||||
Username: admin
|
||||
Password: adminadmin
|
||||
|
||||
It is strongly advised that you change the username / password as soon as possible as it is a security risk to leave the default values. You can choose a new username / password from '''Options > Preferences''' window in the Web UI. The new parameters will be taken into account instantly, without restarting qBittorrent.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have a server listening on port 8080 (e.g. An application server such as Tomcat or Glassfish), then you can use a different port by running qBittorrent-nox as follows:
|
||||
qbittorrent-nox --webui-port=x
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to run qBittorrent-nox Web UI on port 8181 instead of 8080, use:
|
||||
qbittorrent-nox --webui-port=8181
|
||||
|
||||
It is only required to pass --webui-port parameter once because qBittorrent-nox will remember the new port upon restart.
|
||||
|
||||
'''If you want to further configure it, have a look at: ".config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf" in your executing users home directory.'''
|
||||
|
||||
== Useless dependencies ==
|
||||
qBittorrent-nox does not need as many dependencies as standard qBittorrent because its Qt GUI is disabled.<br />The following dependencies are no longer useful:
|
||||
* geoip-database
|
||||
* libnotify
|
||||
* QtGui, QtSvg, QtXml,
|
||||
* Python
|
||||
|
||||
== How to run qbittorrent-nox on startup ==
|
||||
Warning! Ubuntu 15.04 switched to Systemd. Please refer to the Ubuntu server Guide mentioned at the top of this article.
|
||||
|
||||
A qBittorrent user (Jakster) wrote an init script for Debian to run qbittorrent-nox on startup.<br />This script can be found [https://launchpadlibrarian.net/38905385/qbittorrent here] | [https://pastebin.com/nvMZiAxQ mirror] | [https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,3483.0.html mirror2].
|
||||
Save it in ''/etc/init.d/'' folder, under the name ''qbittorrent-nox-daemon''.
|
||||
|
||||
You can do this in one step, by issuing this command:
|
||||
sudo wget -O /etc/init.d/qbittorrent-nox-daemon https://launchpadlibrarian.net/38905385/qbittorrent
|
||||
|
||||
However, always make sure you got the proper content. Check the link and the mirror.<br />Make sure the downloaded file is correct as well, by opening it in the text editor 'nano'.
|
||||
nano -w /etc/init.d/qbittorrent-nox-daemon
|
||||
|
||||
Then make sure it is executable using this command:
|
||||
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/qbittorrent-nox-daemon
|
||||
|
||||
Then make sure it is executed on startup using this command:
|
||||
sudo update-rc.d qbittorrent-nox-daemon defaults
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to undo the previous command, you can use the following command:
|
||||
sudo update-rc.d -f qbittorrent-nox-daemon remove
