qui. A fast, single-binary qBittorrent web UI: manage multiple instances, automate torrent workflows, and cross-seed across trackers.

Installation

The developers of qui have prepared a one-line command for installation. Follow its prompts.

wget -O installer.sh https://get.autobrr.com/qui/whatbox && chmod +x installer.sh && ./installer.sh

Add ~/.local/bin to your PATH so that you can run binaries in it without specifying the path. Ignore this step if you have performed it for a different program.

echo "PATH=\$HOME/.local/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

pkill -f qui

Start in the foreground

Start in the background

screen -S qui qui serve
