Flood

Flood is a monitoring and administration service for popular torrent clients, providing a modern web interface backed by a Node.js server. It connects to your existing torrent client and exposes an easy-to-use UI for day-to-day control and status tracking.

Key Features

• Web UI for managing torrents in supported clients (rTorrent, qBittorrent v4.1+, Transmission; Deluge v2 experimental)
• Node.js backend that communicates with the torrent client and serves the UI
• Responsive, touch-friendly interface with collapsible navigation
• Light and dark themes with system theme detection
• Built-in localization with support for many languages
• CLI-based configuration and options suitable for reverse-proxy setups (base path support)

Use Cases

• Replace a torrent client’s default UI with a more modern, mobile-friendly interface
• Centralize monitoring and basic administration across multiple supported torrent clients
• Run a web dashboard for a seedbox or home media server environment

Limitations and Considerations

• Some client support is experimental (notably Deluge)
• File operations require Flood to have matching filesystem access and paths consistent with the torrent client

Flood is best suited for users who already run a supported torrent client and want a clean, responsive UI with theming and localization. It can be installed via npm, Docker, or as a bundled executable, making it flexible for different deployment preferences.
