WHY SHOULD QUICKBOX PRO SUPPORT THIS?
cross-seed is a widely used automation tool for private tracker users. It searches supported Torznab indexers for releases matching existing torrents or data and can inject valid matches directly into supported torrent clients.
It integrates naturally with applications already commonly used on QuickBox servers, including qBittorrent, rTorrent, Transmission, Deluge, Prowlarr, and Jackett.
Official QuickBox support would provide users with a consistent installation, update, service-management, dependency-management, and configuration workflow instead of requiring a manual npm or Docker deployment.
Registering cross-seed as a managed QuickBox application would also allow QuickBox to correctly track its Node.js dependency when calculating dependencies shared between installed applications.

Similar apps already in QuickBox Pro
SeedCross is the closest existing application, but it is a different project and implementation.
Additional context
This request follows a discussion with a QuickBox developer regarding a manually installed cross-seed instance.
The current installation uses the official npm package:
cross-seed version: 6.13.7
Installation: npm install -g cross-seed
Runtime: Node.js
Execution mode: cross-seed daemon
Service manager: systemd
The official project supports both native npm and Docker installations. For a native QuickBox integration, the expected components would be Node.js, the global cross-seed package, a per-user config directory, a generated config.js file, and a managed systemd service.
The existing QuickBox SeedCross application should not be confused with this project. This request is specifically for the official cross-seed project maintained at:
