@MickLesk what to report to them? The qbitorrent gui displays the proper version...

I also had issues with the update function when updating an older lxc (created with tteck's script).
I manually changed the /usr/bin/update command to point to the update.sh script in your repo, but still the script did not properly moved all config files/directories to the new location, so qbitorrent did not update/work. I had to manually move the config files to make it work.

@tremor021 commented on GitHub (Jun 15, 2025):

Alright, here's the thing. Old qBittorent LXC was installing from a Debian repo. There the latest stable release was 4.5.2.
The config files were in /.config/qBittorrent directory.

We moved from Debian stable releases to static builds made from releases on qBittorrents github. This made every LXC install to be up to date with official releases.
For qBittorrent 5.x config directory is $HOME/.config

In order for our update script to know if the installed version is older than 5.x, we detect the presence of /opt/qBittorent_version.txt file, which is created only if you are installed fresh after we switched to static builds. Here:

if [[ ! -f /opt/${APP}_version.txt ]]; then
    touch /opt/${APP}_version.txt
    mkdir -p $HOME/.config/qBittorrent/
    mkdir -p /opt/qbittorrent/
    mv /.config/qBittorrent $HOME/.config/
    $STD apt-get remove --purge -y qbittorrent-nox
    sed -i 's@ExecStart=/usr/bin/qbittorrent-nox@ExecStart=/opt/qbittorrent/qbittorrent-nox@g' /etc/systemd/system/qbittorrent-nox.service
    systemctl daemon-reload
  fi

If the .txt file doesn't exist it means you are running v4.x so we are moving the config folder to the v5.x location and remove the old install. Your config should be preserved and working.

@Stooovie does your lxc come from the tteck area?

It probably does, yes. It's been a while. I'd like to keep the install if at all possible as it contains some custom stuff, VPN config, stuff like that.
