Is there any way to separate the UI from the actual torrenting?
You mean something like running qbittorrent-nox and connecting to it using web ui?
I’m not looking to have them bundled. I want the management interface separate.
It offers a web UI. Enable it and forward the port. Done.
I’m not sure if that’s what you mean but if you’re using docker compose there’s a variable called WEBUI_PORT
That just changes the port of the bundled UI; it doesn’t allow you to connect a UI to a separate client.
You’re probably looking for something like Deluge.
But why though? You could set up a proxy or something, but I can’t imagine why you would do that
