How to install QBittorrent search plugins on a seedbox? (lemm.ee)

Hi all! I have a Feral seedbox that runs QBit and can't seem to install search plugins. I've tried a few things:

From the unofficial search plugins page, open the raw python for 1337x and paste its URL into QBit after opening Search plugins > Install new plugin > Plugin path.
Download that same .py file and FTP it to my seedbox. In Plugin path, enter ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/engines/one337x.py
Restart Qbit, since the above is my plugins directory anyway, so maybe it will detect the new plugin. Nope.

Am I missing something stupid? The "official" instructions tell me to browse for a local file, but there's no file browser in this version of QBit (4.3.9 if it matters).

What's driving me crazy is I'm pretty sure I've successfully done this before. I know I can use Jackett (or Sonarr), but the first feels unfinished and buggy and the the second is way more than I need for my use case.

Does anyone here use Qbittorrent search plugins and see what I'm screwing up? Thanks!

If you have a seedbox you might find it way more advantageous to install Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr. Manual search seems more ideal for someone pirating at home that only has their computer on for a couple hours a day.

Arr is way more than I want or need. I use a seedbox so I can easily keep ratios up on private trackers or blast in an episode I want to watch immediately, but I can't be bothered with that finnicky thing! It has like 19 components.

For my level of downloading, the old ways are best ;)

You can use only Prowlarr. Add all of your trackers and download client to it then you can search there and it will add the torrent to your seedbox.
