## Description

Qui is a BitTorrent cross-seeding manager, automation engine, and multi-instance torrent dashboard. It provides a unified web interface to manage multiple separate torrent client instances from a single location and functions as an authentication gateway using OpenID Connect to protect backend API endpoints.

The project specializes in identifying and adding matching torrents across different trackers to increase seeding ratios. It utilizes hardlink-based file replication to satisfy multiple tracker layouts without duplicating disk space and features a rule-based automation engine that executes custom scripts and internal actions based on torrent metadata and status.

The system covers a broad range of operational capabilities, including torrent library automation for tagging and categorizing content, comprehensive torrent file management for orphan removal and disk maintenance, and infrastructure monitoring via Prometheus-compatible metrics and real-time activity logs. It also includes tools for remote path mapping, instance state backups, and API request proxying to shield primary credentials.

Automated installation scripts are available for specific seedbox provider environments.
