Hello!

I am running a linux install on my ASUS tinkerboard for file/media server and network filtering usage. I am using the latest version of DietPi (based on Raspbian/Debian 9.0). The tinkerboard is accessed via SSH (headless setup).

I have compiled qBittorrent 4.1.3 for my setup because the base system only supports older versions of qBittorrent (3.x which has a shitty, outdated webUI). I used the following compilation guide: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBitt...or-ARM-devices

How can I update my complied version of qBittorrent? From what I understand, qBittorrent does not have a functional settings import/export system. I have a copy of all the relevant .torrent files, so I am OK with a "clean" re-compilation of the latest qBittorrent version.

I am trying to figure out what I need to do to keep qBittorrent up to date. Do I need to delete it or can I just recompile it "over" the existing installation? How would this process work? How would the steps vary relative to the above mentioned guide?

I have a bunch of other applications running on the ASUS tinkerboard (SMB server, Pi-Hole), so I don't want to fuck up my install. DietPi provides a very user friendly application management system, but qBittorrent 4.x requires compilation by the user on DietPi.

I am a linux noob, but I can follow instructions and I understand general computing paradigms. I was not able to find any good instructions via Google search, so I decided to post here.

Thanks.

EDIT: The above linked guide now includes instruction on how to resolve the issue outlined in this post.

Many source applications have an uninstall feature, but there doesn't seem to be any obvious uninstall command anywhere here.
It may be best to check the wiki, forum links at the bottom of this page, or send an email to sledgehammer999.

Thank for the suggestions. I was not able to find much on upgrading/uninstalling compiled installs in the docs.

I will reach out via qBittorrent's resources. If I figure out how to do it, I will update the wiki page in my original post (this would be a good reference for me too! )
