Upgrade notes for download clients

This page describes how to update the default download paths in your download clients after upgrading Olares to V1.12.6. The new unified directory mount structure means the same paths are visible to both *Arr apps and download clients, so you might need to update your existing download locations.

If you also use *Arr apps such as Sonarr or Radarr, see Upgrade notes for *Arrs for the app connection and root folder changes.

qBittorrent

1. Open qBittorrent.

2. On the toolbar, select Tools > Options.

3. In the Options window, go to the Downloads tab.

4. Update Default Save Path from /downloads/home/Downloads/qBittorrent to /olares/userdata/home/Downloads/qBittorrent.

   

5. Scroll down and click Save.

qBittorrent asks me to log in after the upgrade

If qBittorrent previously allowed you to access the WebUI without logging in, but now prompts for credentials, the migration script might not have preserved the authentication settings.

1. Open Control Hub and view the qBittorrent container logs to find the temporary username (usually admin) and password.

2. Log in to qBittorrent and verify it works.

3. Set a new username and password as needed.

4. To restore passwordless access:

   a. Open Olares Files, and then edit /Data/qbittorrent/qBittorrent.conf.

   b. In the [Preferences] section, add or update the following values:

   WebUI\Address=*
   WebUI\ServerDomains=*
   WebUI\Port=8080
   WebUI\CSRFProtection=false
   WebUI\HostHeaderValidation=false
   WebUI\LocalHostAuth=false
   WebUI\AuthSubnetWhitelistEnabled=true
   WebUI\AuthSubnetWhitelist=0.0.0.0/0, ::/0

   c. Save the file and restart qBittorrent.

If the issue persists, back up the existing configuration, delete qBittorrent.conf, and restart qBittorrent. The initialization process will recreate a default configuration with passwordless access enabled. You can then re-apply your previous settings line by line to identify any conflicting option.
