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.
I have a similar setup using Truenas to store data. I’ve setup a VM in Truenas that can access the data via NFS (easier to setup on Linux than SMB).
It’s nice to keep all your services contained in one machine, as long as it has enough resources, and will probably consume less power than running another PC.
I use qbittorrent, most people seem to agree it performs better than Transmission. It’s accessible from a web interface.
