At least in arch, the package qbittorrent-nox now contains the ability to connect to i2p. For people starting out, using i2p you wouldn’t need to use a VPN to download your favorite “linux ISOs”; just use i2p and have a fully automated Jellyfin server!

I recommend using i2pd as the i2p router

    Thanks for the write up. We need such a write up as a top level post if you’re down for it.

    I use docker and prefer docker over a package.

    I’d love to jump on the bandwagon but until now I thought it’s still years away.

    Do you know if this is the right docker image? https://geti2p.net/de/download/docker

    Are there other trackers than postman? For e.g. German/French content?

    How to connect qbittorrent and i2p in docker?

    Are there already private trackers as well? I prefer private ones.

      I haven’t tried the i2p docker image, but it shouldd work. Let me know

      There are some German and French content that I see occasionally in Postman. In the actual i2p postman site you can filter for the French and German language.

      If you’re using the docker image the network_mode is set to host, so it should work the same as if i2p was installed without containerization.

      where 7656 is the SAM bridge port. I’m using version 4.6.3 of qbittorrent and it has this feature. The arch package for qbittorrent-nox (the webui edition of qbittorrent) already has this feature. I just checked; the latest docker image for qbittorrent should already have this feature! https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-qbittorrent

      Not too sure about private trackers. Although, due to the fundamental anonymizing feature of i2p there would be no way for copyright trolls to track IP addresses and send mass lawsuits, which private trackers defend against.

        Private trackers are not only protecting you. It also protects against full time leachers. And people keep up the quality of the seeds. Bad torrents die quickly.
