qbittorrent

[towerhand]

Has anyone successfully migrated all legal torrents from qbittorrent in docker to the LXC created using tteckster script? I was able to find and migrate config files to ./config, but the torrents are not appearing in qbittorrent. Thanks.

I believe you do something along these lines..

Go into your settings in qBittorrent and turn off automatically start downloading.
The upload the .torrent file (if you know where it is).
Then let qBittorrent do a file check for existing files before starting it.
Once you've got them readded, go back into your setting and reenable auto start downloading.

I went the other way today and I moved from Tteck LXC to Docker because the Linux Repo for qBittorrent is 2 years behind.

I had nearly 1000 torrents seeding and there was no way that I was going to manually re-add them 1 by 1 so I just cleared down my Downloads folder and started from scratch in a fresh container.

I couldn't find any mass adding solutions on the internet, and even when I set qBittorrent to monitor the Downloads folder, it still didn't pick up the .torrent files and readd them automatically.

I believe qBittorrent-nox runs as a service, did you reboot it after running updates?

[gladiatormax]

yes i did reboot the container.
I did try again and look @ the upgrade list,

Ok solved it by doing 'apt install qbittorrent-nox'
It upgraded and installed all dependencies.
Thx !

Don't quote me on this, but apt-get full-upgrade might have worked for you.

Thanks, through these tips I was able to upgrade qBittorrent to the latest version as well.

I edited the /etc/apt/sources.list file by adding the string deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib and restarted the LXC container. Then sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get full-upgrade and it was updated.
