Qbittorrent unloadable due to yaml error

Post by Tomwaste »

Hello,

Me again! :) I got everything installed on Ubuntu but I did not initially include a VPN in the process of the script. While attempting to add it later I edited the yaml file using VIM (totally new to me) and messed something up. Not sure what I screwed up but afterward qbittorrent would not load. I figured no biggie, I'll just "yams destroy" and start over. No dice. The problem persisted. So I went back and just ran a new "bash install.sh" and went from there. Nope. Problem persisted. At one point in the terminal I was notified that there was an additional yaml swap file that was messing things up, so I deleted that and then, just for good measure, ran "yams destroy" and started over from there. But still qbittorrent will not load from the browser. I had only just begun the configuration process when I got sidelined attempting to install the vpn, so I really don't mind starting from scratch. Just not sure how to do that. Additionally, I was planning on using openvpn. It's not the list of supported VPNs but seemed to work in the script during one of my abortive attempts.

Hey @Tomwaste!

You did screw up something in the docker-compose file. If you want to start over the installation:

  • Delete all the docker containers that belong to YAMS. You can see the running containers with docker ps -a and remove them with docker rm [container-name]. If you only have YAMS containers, you can run docker rm $(docker ps -q). Don't run this command if you have other docker containers running!
  • Delete everything in your YAMS installation folder.
  • Start the installation again and add the VPN on the install.

You can use other code editors to edit the file, not necessarily vim. Use one that you are comfortable with.
