I’m trying to fill a new ebook request on MaM. So far I’ve:

  1. Removed the DRM from the ebook.
  2. Created the torrent using mktorrent (the docker version of qBit doesn’t allow you to create a new torrent, so I used mktorrent)
  3. Uploaded the torrent file to MaM

However, I can’t figure out how the heck to get my dockerized qbittorrent to seed the file. I tried going to FileAdd torrent file but then qBittorrent just looks to download the torrent (the same one I’m actually just trying to seed).

How do I do this? Is this another shortcoming of the containerized qBittorrent? If so, what other program can I use?

I know this is noob stuff but I can’t seem to figure this out.

      It’s not the same. There’s no torrent creator feature in the docker version and that’s what I was referring to when I said the native version is more intuitive.

      If you’re going to be condescending, at least be accurate.
