I am sick of managing torrents on my main pc and want to run them on my secondary pc and just remote into it.
my question, how can I move all of my torrents? both pc’s are linux if that helps. Is there a folder containing all torrent links that I can copy over? the actual files (linux isos) are on nas’s, so hopefully the filepath wouldn’t change…
I gotta figure out how and what docker is. I cannot understand it . does it run on the nas itself or the PC? Is it like flatpaks where its a container ?
Docker is like the next logical extension of what a VM is… But instead of a whole ass machine getting spun up, along with all its various bullshit, just to run one application; Docker is a purpose driven slice of only the required dependencies for your single app, nothing more, nothing less.
This solves a few problems, resources because you are running bare minimum components, the “it ran on my machine” problem, because everything you need is literally inside the image, and it’s pretty easy to work with since Docker runs inside its own container and only inside its own container. This means you can easily drop new apps in and pull them out with no drama…
For someone sounding nontechnical, even a simple explanation will be difficult.
OP, despite everyone just claiming docker is the way to go, do what you’re comfortable with. Docker will require some technical background, maybe look up some videos first.
I’d also recommends using Podman over docker since it’s open source unlike actual docker, and can run all the same stuff.
Personally, I hate all the CLI involved, but that’s me. Yes I run it, but down the road if troubleshooting is required, it takes a little time looking up commands or how to proceed. Forums can help too.
Yeahhh, I wasn’t paying attention where I was posting and didn’t realize this was in piracy and not selfhosting lol
It runs on the system you install it in, all containers do is isolate the software to a controlled environment so it doesn’t directly use your system packages.
The advantage in terms of migration is that you can just have a directory with a compose file and your configuration directories and that can be moved to any system
If memory serves TechHut did a pretty good docker introduction video a few years ago.
I just watched the video with “easy mode” at the end, I have no fucking clue WTF is he doing most of the time. From your comment and the one next to yours I thought that I had an idea of what it was, but after that video I think I don’t want to be anywhere close to a docker thing, ever. That dude should be banned from using the word easy.
Well, it does require some preliminary IT knowledge, but as far as IT skills go I’d say it’s one of the more basic systems.
