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…

    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.
