Headless

torrenta-nox runs everything the window does but the window: for a server, a NAS, or a machine reached over SSH.

torrenta --headless, or the torrenta-nox launcher packaged beside the app’s own, runs the same session as the window without ever loading the toolkit.

• Everything but the window: torrents, watch folders, RSS rules, the IP filter, share limits, the speed schedule, run-on-event commands, a remote engine profile.
• Added without asking. What arrives (the command line, another Torrenta on the same folder, a watch folder, a rule) goes in with the settings’ defaults, through the content check.
• The log is stdout, one line per event, and torrenta-session.log in the config folder.
• A clean stop. SIGTERM or Ctrl+C stops it the way Quit does, the last resume data written first, so nothing re-checks on the next start.
• With Remote access for Sonarr, Radarr or a web UI: torrenta-nox --set-remote-password sets the password without a window.

On Linux it is bin/torrenta-nox beside bin/Torrenta; on Windows a console program. The settings are the window’s own settings.properties, editable by hand while Torrenta is stopped. See Headless for a systemd user unit.
