## qBittorrent Telegram interface



Extremely simple Telegram bot I made to get some basic info about the currently active torrents on my home Raspberry, using the [qBittorrent WebUI APIs (v4.1+)](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/WebUI-API-(qBittorrent-4.1)) through the [python-qBittorrent](https://github.com/v1k45/python-qBittorrent) library.



### Features



Only a small set of features of the qBittorrent web API has been implemented:



- see a list of torrents based on their downloading status

- add torrents by magnet link/torrent file

- manage a torrent (pause/resume, set force-start, increase priority, force re-check, delete)

- enable/disable/change your alternative speed limits

- see your qBittorrent settings

- see a pretty overview of your speed, queueing and share rateo settings

- export your torrents list as a json file



For a list of commands, use `/help`



### Setup



Requires Python >= 3.6.2



1. [enable qBittorrent's Web UI](https://github.com/lgallard/qBittorrent-Controller/wiki/How-to-enable-the-qBittorrent-Web-UI)

2. copy `config.example.toml` to `config.toml`

3. edit `config.toml` in the following way:

  - `[telegram]` section: place your API token in `token` and your user ID in `admins`

  - `[qbitttorrent]` section: fill the `url`, `login` and `secret` values according to your qBittorrent WebUI settings

  - all the other values in the config file are optional, and their function is described in `config.example.toml`. 

Make sure your config file contains all the keys in the example file (the bot won't start if some are missing, but it will tell you which), and that their type is correct

4. install the rquirements via `pip install -r requirements.txt`



### Permissions



By default, only _admins_ are allowed to use the bot (users listed under `telegram.admins` in `config.toml`), but thereare some values in the `permissions.json` file (`default_permissions.json` if you have not started the bot yet) that can be toggled to set who can use the bot:



- `read`: when `true`, anyone can use read-only commands (viewing the torrents list, the torrents' info etc.)

- `write`: when `true`, anyone can add torrents by magnet link/file/link. Only works if `read` is `true`

- `edit`: when `true`, anyone can manage a torrent's settings and qbittorrent's setting. Only works if `read` is `true`

- `admins_only`: nobody can use the bot except for the users listed as `admins`, which can do anything. When `true`, this setting has the priority over the read/write/edit settings

(they will be ignored and the bot will only work for the admins)



You can see and change the current permissions configuration from the bot's chat, using the `/permissions` and `/pset` commands



### Docker



Docker is only tested on Linux. It will most likeyly work on macOS too, but not on Windows: Docker doesn't create the `docker0` network interface



#### Build your own image



1. clone the source code

2. copy `config.example.toml` to `config.toml`

3. edit `config.toml` in the following way:

  - `[telegram]` section: place your API token in `token` and your user ID in `admins`

  - `[qbitttorrent]` section: fill the three values according to your qBittorrent WebUI settings. IMPORTANT read the config file comment about docker0 network!

4. build your image with `docker build . -t {YOUR_TAG}`

5. run docker `docker run -d -v ${PWD}/config.toml:/app/config.toml {YOUR_TAG}`



#### Use the prebuilt image



1. download `config.example.toml` to your directory of choice, such as `/etc/qbbot/config.toml`

2. edit `config.toml` in the following way:

  - `[telegram]` section: place your API token in `token` and your user ID in `admins`

  - `[qbitttorrent]` section: fill the three values according to your qBittorrent WebUI settings. IMPORTANT read the config file comment about docker0 network!

3. pull the image: `docker pull 0one2/qbittorrent-bot`

4. run docker `docker run -d -v ${PWD}/config.toml:/app/config.toml 0one2/qbittorrent-bot`



### Currently running on...



I made this bot to be able to manage what I'm downloading on my Raspberry running Raspbian (using qBittorrent's [headless version](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Setting-up-qBittorrent-on-Ubuntu-server-as-daemon-with-Web-interface-(15.04-and-newer))), and that's the only environment I've tested this thing in. There's also the systemd file I'm using, `qbtbot.service` (which assumes you're going to run the bot in a python3 virtual environment)
