Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

TrueNAS has a feature built in called Jails that allow you to run applications in their own walled area similar to a VM but more similar to a Container. There used to be a section (haven’t used TrueNAS in a moment) where you could easily attain official and community pre-built jails and install them without much difficulty. QBittorrent was in one of those lists. Definitely worth poking around to see if that’s still there.
Another option would be to stand up your own jail and install the program you want on there yourself. Here’s a quick rundown out there that seems to cover the basics you are looking for.

i had a transmission jail once, but couldn't figure out where to mount the jail, and how the file paths would have to look. but a jail seems like the way to go. i might be able to put more energy into figuring that out now.
