Can't save qbittorrent settings

Post by Tealeaf »

Hello! Thanks Rogs for all your help last time. I finally had a working yams but decided to restart! Mistake. :shock:

I have followed the install instructions and am trying to update the settings on qbittorrent, but it won't let me save. I click the save button and nothing updates.

I have a feeling it may be a permissions error, however my /opt/yams folder is set with 777.

Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Hey @Tealeaf!

That's weird... Do all the other arrs save their settings correctly?

Can you send the logs for qBittorrent in a pastebin? Run docker logs qbittorrent --follow and try saving on qBittorrent

Cheers!

Roger.

Paste bin here.

The logs don't show anything in particular... Are you saving the settings with the logs running and not getting any output?

I'm clicking the save button but it does nothing. :(

I tried reinstalling the entire lxc as well. Not sure why it worked last time but not this time!

Who's the owner of the entire config directory? Can you send me the output of ls -la /your/install/location/config?

Everything looks perfectly fine... I'm stumped :shock:

I don't know what else to try :| Maybe try updating the config manually using the qBittorrent.conf file?

It turns out there's a bug in qBittorrent! Here's the issue: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/22909

Someone in the discord found it, here's a quote:

This issue was introduced in 4.6.4, so resolved for me by specifying the previous version in my docker-compose.yaml file under /opt/yams/docker-compose.yaml
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:4.6.3

You can fix it yourself or wait for a fix I'll submit tomorrow, either way should work!
