How to migrate from linuxserver's docker image?

[DigitGram]

Hi there,

I am a longterm user of linuxserver's qbittorrent, but lately it needs alot cpu and eats all my RAM. So I wanted to switch to this official one.

Same machine, same paths.
Setup docker compose, edited all the default paths to the old ones. Fresh config, same settings.

I copied over the "BT_backup"-folder, and here comes the problem:
all (old) torrents are back, BUT most or all of my ~6000 Torrents show as "Errored" (Missing Files).

Additional info:

• "Force recheck" just loads, never updates.
• Tab "Trackers" show "not contacted yet" next to the announce urls.

Do I miss something? Any help would me much appreciated.

Kind regards,
DigitGram

Got it. Permission error.
PUID and PGID was set, but I forgot to also set the --read-only flag to FALSE in docker compose.

You can change the User ID (UID) and Group ID (GID) of the qbittorrent-nox process by setting environment variables PUID and PGID respectively. By default they are both set to 1000.
Note that you will need to remove --read-only flag (when using Docker) or set read_only: false (when using Docker Compose) as they are incompatible with it.

Working now!
