hassio-addons: [Qbittorrent] Stuck searching for metadata - Requires a restart

Which addon?

  • Addon name : Qbittorrent
  • Addon version : release-4.4.1-ls173-9

Describe the bug

Unfortunately, this is the kind of bug that… just happens. I use OpenVPN within this addon and that’s my best guess as the reason behind it getting stuck. Basically, what happens is that the addon can work fine even for days (or for hours), then it no longer goes beyond the search for metadata for a newly added download. Restarting the addon fixes the issue.

I noticed a change in the release names:

  • release-4.4.1-ls172 (20-02-2022)
  • 14.3.9.99202110311443-7435-01519b5e7ubuntu20.04.1-ls166 (07-01-2022)
  • 14.3.9.99202110311443-7435-01519b5e7ubuntu20.04.1-ls165 (04-01-2022)

and I think this behaviour didn’t happen with the old naming schema.

Unfortunately, the issue is not fixable with a restart. I also tried restoring older versions. Might have something to do with my VPN. Thank you, as usual, for your prompt response ❤️

Maybe, in hassio-addons/qbittorrent/rootfs/etc/services.d/nginx/run, you should replace

bashio::log.info "VPN is up and running with ip $(curl -s ipecho.net/plain), based in country : $COUNTRY"

with something like

bashio::log.info "VPN is up and running with ip $(cat /vpnip), based in country : $COUNTRY"

?

OK, I’ll adapt it 😉

Thanks for the feedback.

I’ve created an optional “silent” boolean. If you check it, it removes all qbittorrent non-errors from the log (>/dev/null) and removes the nginx access logs (off;)

Update: fine tuning .ovpn parameters, including setting ping-restart 60, was a success. No more container restarts needed. For completeness, there were two more major changes:

  1. Your image was updated to a newer version.
  2. I changed line 37 of /rootfs/etc/nginx/nginx.conf to access_log off;. This way, logs were much more readable (I never found much use for nginx access logs there), and, who knows?, that might have been the real fix 😄

By the way: it would be fantastic if setting line 37 of that file to off became a configuration option. Until then, I will always manually do that.

Thank you, as usual 😃

Thanks for the feedback! Let me know if it worked! It would be interesting if it works to try also with the normal mode, as it is more secure

Ok. I applied the changes to the .ovpn file I provided, and warnings are now gone. I am currently using your “openvpn_alt_mode”. I’ll let you know if things improve. Thank you so far 😄

almico on Apr 16, 2022

Interesting! Only now, I think I discovered that OpenVPN options are not defined by you, but are in the .ovpn file defined in the ‘openvpn_config’ option. I’m going to change that now, and see if things improve 😃

I see. Thank you @alexbelgium 😃

Hi, indeed the shift from qbittorrent 4.3.9 to 4.4.1 was a really big change that induced lots of issues. I don’t have much time for the moment but when I’ll have time I’ll check if there is open issues similar to yours either in linuxserver’s qbittorrent github repo (that have made the upstream image that I have converted in addon) and the qbittorrent github repo (where the dev of 4.4.1 is ongoing)
