## What it is
rtinst is a shell script that installs and configures a complete seedbox stack (rTorrent, ruTorrent, Nginx, vsftpd, autodl-irssi, and optional Let's Encrypt SSL) on Ubuntu and Debian servers. It automates the entire setup in roughly ten minutes with a single command.

## Use cases
- set up a seedbox on a fresh Ubuntu or Debian VPS
- install rtorrent and rutorrent with nginx automatically
- configure an FTP server for a torrent box
- get Let's Encrypt SSL for rutorrent web UI
- one-command seedbox installation script
- install autodl-irssi alongside rtorrent

## When to choose
- you want a quick, opinionated seedbox setup on clean Ubuntu or Debian installs
- you prefer a single script over manually configuring rtorrent, rutorrent, nginx, and vsftpd
- you want automatic Let's Encrypt certificate setup included

## When to avoid
- you run a non-Debian-based distribution like CentOS, Fedora, or Arch
- you need a containerized or Docker-based seedbox deployment
- you want fine-grained custom configuration of each service rather than a scripted default setup
- you need actively maintained support for the newest Ubuntu or Debian releases
