SOLVED Qbittorrent update/upgrade script

[theomolenaar]

Hi. I’m looking for a bash script to update an existing jail with qbittorrent-nox installed. I tried running as root:
pkg upgrade qbittorrent-nox but that didn’t work. Service wouldn’t start with: service qbittorrent-nox start. A search on github gave me a lot of results but no examples to do a simple update. If you have any working scripts or tips to make it work please let me know. Thanks!!

How did you install qbittorrent-nox, via plugin or manual install in the jail? Are you trying to automate upgrades?

Whoops. Forgot to mention that part. Manual install. I want to automate upgrades. The install process I used for qbittorrent-nox can be found here

So that install method edits one of the files in the package (nano /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent...), so when you update the package, you probably need to do the edits again.

Yes edits needs to be done in the script. I tried using this:

Code:

sed 's/${qbittorrent_user=qbittorrent}/${qbittorrent_user=root}/g' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent
sed 's/${qbittorrent_group=qbittorrent}/${qbittorrent_group=wheel}/g' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent

But changes didn't get applied when viewing this file with nano right after.

So I guess you just made the changes in nano then?

Yes editing in nano did the trick. But a fully automated upgrade script is around the corner I figured that a service qbittorrent stop would help to make this file writable but it didn’t

I managed to code an automated upgrade script for qbittorrent-nox. Not entirely sure it's the best solution but hey....it works, haha.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
JAIL=qbitvpn2

iocage exec $JAIL service qbittorrent stop

# -y tells it to answer Yes to every confirmation question.
iocage exec $JAIL pkg upgrade -y qbittorrent-nox

#Change username and make a temporary file. Because changes won't be permanent. Don't know why.
iocage exec $JAIL "sed 's/qbittorrent_user=qbittorrent/qbittorrent_user=root/g' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent1"
#change group in temporary file
iocage exec $JAIL "sed 's/qbittorrent_group=qbittorrent/qbittorrent_group=wheel/g' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent1 > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent2"

#Copy complete content of temporary file back to original file
iocage exec $JAIL "cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent2 > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent"
#remove temporary files
iocage exec $JAIL "rm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent1 && rm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qbittorrent2"

iocage exec $JAIL sysrc qbittorrent_enable="YES"

#restart service
iocage exec $JAIL service qbittorrent start
