## What it is
A bash build script and CI pipeline that compiles fully static qbittorrent-nox binaries with up-to-date dependencies using musl libc on Alpine Linux. Prebuilt binaries are released for many CPU architectures and run on any Linux distribution without external libraries.

## Use cases
- install qbittorrent-nox on any linux distro without dependencies
- build a static qbittorrent-nox binary from source
- run a headless torrent seedbox on a nas or vps
- get qbittorrent-nox binaries for arm or riscv devices
- deploy qbittorrent-nox in docker or on a seedbox
- use latest libtorrent with qbittorrent-nox

## When to choose
- you need a dependency-free qbittorrent-nox binary for any Linux distro or architecture
- you run a headless seedbox, NAS, or VPS and want the latest qBittorrent and libtorrent versions
- you want automated, reproducible static builds via GitHub Actions

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical qBittorrent client on desktop - this is the headless nox variant only
- you want a package-manager-managed install with distro updates
- you are on Windows, macOS, or BSD - only Linux binaries are produced
