Do I have to use Qbittorrent?

[Stue84]

Hi all.

Roger - love the work & effort!

I managed to set up Yams and I have everything running, except I am having trouble with Qbittorrent. Sonarr & Radarr won't accept my log in details from Qbit.
Qbit also won't save my password when I set it on WebUI. I can only log in with a new temporary password. Which means I need to set everything in the WebUI each time I access it (default save path, whitelisting authentication etc)
Now, I am a complete noob to Linux etc so having to use a new password each time may be a feature rather than a bug - I can't find evidence to the contrary.

However, I have Sabnzd set up and I got a deal on newshosting so would be happy to use solely that for getting media. So can I remove Qbittorrent from my set up? If so, is Sabnzd sufficient enough to have for getting movies/series? What are the steps needed to remove Qbit?

I haven't included any logs etc - I can do that later when I'm at my machine if needed. As stated, I'm a noob so I need things explained to me like I'm a toddler!

Thank you!

Hey @Stue84!

Thank you for using YAMS!

Yes, you can remove qBittorrent from your setup. You'll have to stop YAMS, go to your install location and remove YAMS from the docker-compose.yaml file:

Code: Select all

yams stop
cd /your/install/location
# Here you edit your docker-compose.yaml file to remove qBittorrent
yams restart

That should remove it completely! If you want to be extra thorough, you can also remove the container by running docker ps -a, identifying the qBittorrent docker container and removing it by running docker rm <your qbittorrent container id>

Cheers!

Roger.

Thank you for the quick reply!

That is perfect, I'll do that later . Is Sabnzd with a newshosting account going to be enough for downloads?

Yes! If you also have an indexer (Like DrunkenSlug or NZBGeek), you should be good to go!
