Do I have to use Qbittorrent?

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!
