Can you help me update my docker image?

[u/derTommygun]

Hi, I've followed several guides here and elsewhere but none of them worked for a reason or another.

I have qTorrent running in my synology container manager, but it' a quite old version and my goal is to update/replace it with the latest build without having to reconfigure everything and losing data.

The set up was done with separate download/configuration folders so it should be possible...

I've already downloaded the new image, as shown below, and I've tried to stop+reset the current container (after making a backup) but no matter what I do, is always using the old image, ignoring the new one.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you so much!

If you are help to tinker a little, I recently wrote a really easy to use docker updater.

Works perfectly on my synology

It’s a different image so you should build a different container. Shut down the old container and create a new one using the same settings and folder mappings.

Or try updating the old image from the original source.

In the end I had to destroy it and re-create it from scratch. I used the exported json to recreate configuration, so everything's fine.
Thanks!

Because your image name is different, you need to modify the yaml file in projects.

Instead, you should update your original image (1st row).

It's been awhile since I used container manager - I transitioned to to Linux docker.

Somewhat off topic but what’s the advantage of qtorrent over the download manager that came with the Synology?
