🐛 [qBittorrent] Torrent downloaded, and there's a path... but no files

purierca commented 5 months ago

Description

Hi there, thanks for the great add on - again! I'm using Samba Share + qBittorrent to download and save on external hard drive. On Samba NAS, all works well (I can see and access all my files normally). I've set a download path for qBittorrent, on the Samba Share, and a test torrent has finished without any issues, but I can't find the file anywhere.

In the torrent details it does show a root folder, but I can't access that from any where on the Samba Share or through files. I'm assuming it's at the very root of the Home Assistant disk (I'm on Green), but even with file browser I can't access it.

Reproduction steps

1. Add Torrent, set destination (save) path to /elements/Movies
2. Download torrent
3. See HA Green's disk get a bit more full
4. Can't find files

Here's the qBittorrent config

DNS_server: 8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1
PGID: "0"
PUID: "0"
SavePath: /elements/Movies
Username: admin
certfile: fullchain.pem
customUI: vuetorrent
keyfile: privkey.pem
qbit_manage: false
ssl: false
whitelist: localhost,127.0.0.1,172.30.0.0/16,192.168.0.0/16

Hi, you must release that in docker all paths are relative to the container in itself. When you stop it, all custom data disappear.

The only way to keep remanence is to use a folder mapped to something that is stable : /data for example is mounted by HA but not accessible in an easy way.

To avoid this, you can use one of my addons options to either mount a usb drive (localdisk option) or a smb drive. For example, if you specify sda1 or NAS in the localdisk, then it will be mounted to /mnt/sda1 or /mnt/NAS. If you then set the download directory to /mnt/sda1/yourfolder, it will appear in your other drive

Hope this was globally clear :-)

Hi Alex, thanks for your suggestion! I've gone a simpler route after finding a stray comment in the community yesterday:

Since the HDD is already mounted through Samba NAS, the issue was to give the right path to qBittorrent
I was using /elements/Movies assuming that it would be easily accessed by qBittorrent, but /elements/ is not a folder that is available to all addons (unlike /Share or /Media)
But since elements is mounted through Samba NAS, it's available through the /Media path
So I updated the path in qBittorrent to /Media/ELEMENTS/Movies (respecting case sentitivity)
Profit

The only remaining issue here is to access the /root on my HA Green to delete the files that were created before. I guess I'll CLI it.

Perfect! Glad it works. If it was made within the qbittorrent container then it was deleted as soon as you restarted it - no harm done ;-)

Btw if you want to CLI inside containers the portainer addon is a nice one to avoid ssh :-)
