qbit torrent (old issue)

Posted by LaggyGamerZA

good evening tom hope your doing well. i would just like to find out if there has been a fix for the qbittorrent starting with no seedrs/peers. other than typing "sudo docker restart sb-qbittorrent"

Evening! That 'no seeders/peers until I restart qBittorrent' is almost always qBit not getting its connection through the VPN at startup — the restart re-establishes it, which is why your workaround works. SparkBox does ship an auto-reconnect for exactly this (a watcher that re-joins qBit to the VPN when it drops), so first thing to check: are you on the current version? Run sudo sparkbox update, then reboot and see if qBit comes back with peers on its own. If it STILL needs a manual restart after updating, tell me your version (run sparkbox version) and I'll dig in — that'd mean the auto-reconnect isn't catching your case.
