Is there an existing issue for this?
Current Behavior
The option to create a torrent from the WebUI is not visible or available when using the linuxserver/qbittorrent Docker image. This is despite upstream qBittorrent confirming the feature is now completed and visible in current versions of qBittorrent (see: qbittorrent/qBittorrent#5614).
Expected Behavior
There should be an option in the WebUI to create a new torrent (like in the desktop client), as was implemented upstream. User expectation is that the official Docker image exposes all completed core UI features.
Steps To Reproduce
- Deploy the latest linuxserver/qbittorrent Docker image
- Open the WebUI
- Attempt to find an option to create a torrent from local files
- Observe the lack of such an option/button in the WebUI
