Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
Most things that are barriers for me are knowledge and time gaps, I am below novice.
I would like to get links, files etc to my pc remotely. Like sending a torrent file and have it start , or a file to print.
Choose your route: spend your time to learn the terminal, then you’ll be able to do pretty much anything via SSH, or learn docker and networking basics and you’ll be able to do pretty much everything via web interfaces. I’d recommend the latter if you are not strictly interested in learning the OS but just want to build stuff on top of it
I looked at docker because it seems to be able to do anything I think I might want it for, but was told to reverse course and learn the system first before going deep into such complicated systems.
The more knowledge you have the easier troubleshooting will be, but you can get pretty far once you learn the absolute minimum required to get to
docker runand connecting to your container.The best way would be to use Qbittorrents web interface. You can drag and drop files and have them start downloading imediately. If you need to do it over the terminal, qbit has an option to watch certain folders for new torrent files. You could then use Samba to transfer files over your local network.
Edit: I skipped over files for printing. Can’t help with that, but my guess would be Samba as well.
