The prowlarr app within sparkbox needs updated but can only be updated at the docker level. How can i update prowlarr without losing existing medias obtained via qbit? Can a script be run or will updating overwrite existing settings? Is it best to update via Portainer?

there have been 6 updates since July we will probably never see one. if you update it on your own outside of TomSparkBox you will break all your necessary connections and nothing will work correctly.

You're right to check first—A-Dubb is correct that updating manually outside SparkBox will break your connections to Sonarr, Radarr, and qBit. SparkBox manages all app updates for you. When we've tested and released a new version of Prowlarr, it'll appear on the SparkBox Updates page, and you can install it from there. Your settings and media library will stay intact. Just watch the Updates page, and don't update through Docker or Portainer directly.

updated via sparkbox, thanks!

Glad the SparkBox update worked, and thanks for confirming. Your Prowlarr settings and download data stay managed by SparkBox; its current Prowlarr image pin is 2.6.5 (modules/media/docker-compose.yml, line 738). If Prowlarr itself shows a newer upstream version, SparkBox is behind it; leave Prowlarr’s in-app updater off because SparkBox replaces the full image. There’s nothing else you need to change for the update you already completed.
