This app is a Prometheus exporter for qBittorrent.
You must have version 4.1.0 of qBittorrent or higher.

## Credits

I was using an excellent [exporter](https://github.com/caseyscarborough/qbittorrent-exporter) written in Java and I wanted to learn Go, that's how I got the idea to rewrite the exporter in Go.

Additionally, this project adds support for tags and categories. It tracks the categories and tags of each torrent and the global categories and tags.

## About this App

This app is a lightweight and fast prometheus exporter for qBittorrent, made to be integrated with the [qbittorrent-grafana-dashboard](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/martabal/qbittorrent-exporter/main/grafana/dashboard.json).

## Run it

### Docker-cli ([click here for more info](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/))

```sh
docker run --name=qbittorrent-exporter \
-e QBITTORRENT_BASE_URL=http://192.168.1.10:8080 \
-e QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD='' \
-e QBITTORRENT_USERNAME=admin \
-p 8090:8090 \
ghcr.io/martabal/qbittorrent-exporter:latest
```

### Docker-compose

```yaml
version: "2.1"
services:
qbittorrent-exporter:
image: ghcr.io/martabal/qbittorrent-exporter:latest
container_name: qbittorrent-exporter
environment:
- QBITTORRENT_BASE_URL=http://192.168.1.10:8080
- QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD=''
- QBITTORRENT_USERNAME=admin
ports:
- 8090:8090
restart: unless-stopped
```

### Without docker

```sh
git clone https://github.com/martabal/qbittorrent-exporter.git
cd qbittorrent-exporter
go get -d -v
cd src
go build -o ./qbittorrent-exporter
./qbittorrent-exporter
```

```sh
git clone https://github.com/martabal/qbittorrent-exporter.git
cd qbittorrent-exporter
go get -d -v
cd src
go run ./src
```

If you want to use an .env file, edit `.env.example` to match your setup, rename it `.env` then run it in the same directory. If you want to force to use the environment variables use `-e` argument like :

```sh
./qbittorrent-exporter -e
```

```sh
go run ./src -e
```

## Metrics

You can find in the dashboard the following metrics:

- All time download/upload
- Session download/upload
- Cumulative upload/download speeds
- Global ratio/download speed/upload speed
- Qbittorrent version
- Torrent list with statuses
- Total torrents/seeders/leechers
- Torrent state chart
- Amount remaining by torrent
- Incomplete torrent progress
- Download/upload speed by torrent
- Categories
- Tags
- Trackers

## Resources

This app uses ~20 times less RAM compared to the [original exporter](https://github.com/caseyscarborough/qbittorrent-exporter) for the same amount of torrents.
Docker compressed size is ~10 MB.
