simple-torrent_ynh's Issues

Yunohost 4.X not supported anymore ?

Hi,

I am running Yunohost 4.3.6.2.
Simple Torrent is proposed in the list of applications I can install.

The admin panel pretends it starts intalling version "1.3.9~ynh4"

But then the installation failed saying I don't have Yunohost 11.

I saw on github that this packaging used to be compatible with Yunohost 4.X.
It seems backward compatibility is broken.

I am not sure how the version are handled in Yunohost packaging ?
Are you supposed to maintain a separate branch ?

Can't install on RPIs with Yunohost official image

Describe the bug

It is impossible to install Simple-Torrent on a Raspberry pi (4) if you use the official Yunohost image on installation.
It seems like it is a x32 OS but Raspberri pi 4 support x64 apps si while hardware is okay, software from the image makes it impossible.

#WorkAround#
User 'tituspijean' told me that flahsing Raspbian and then using the Yunohost install script would make this work (yet to try).

Context

• Hardware: Raspberry PI 4 8Go
• YunoHost version: 4.3.4.2 stable
• I have access to my server: Through SSH YES | through the webadmin YES | direct access via keyboard / screen YES
• Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance?: no
• Using, or trying to install package version/branch: Simple-torrent 1.3.9

Steps to reproduce

1. Flash Yunohost image on Raspberry Pi
2. Install Yunohost
3. Try installing simple-torrent
4. See error

Expected behavior

The app should install

Configuration get deleted at every update (Download Directory)

So, running yunohost simple-torrent on rpi 4.

I just wanna notice to you 2 things :

-Why they're just no way to configure the download directory on the web ui on this ? Seem to be the bare minimum for a torrent app on a self-hosted server...

-And why, after we found we have to edit a file with nano on terminal for that, the update progress clean and deleted EVERYTIME this files ?

This two things making simple-torrent like... not easy at all. Can someone make this more simple, like the name ?

Configuration resets after update

After updating, the configuration made through the web UI goes back to default, eg. the seed ratio goes back to 0.

Versions

• Hardware: ARM instance at Scaleway
• YunoHost version: 4.1.7.3
• I have access to my server: Through SSH | through the webadmin
• Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ?: no
• Using, or trying to install package version/branch: stable
• If upgrading, current package version: current : 1.2.15~ynh1. As far as I remember, every updates since I'm using this app (November 2020) triggers this issue.

To Reproduce

1. Install simple-torrent
2. Change configuration through webUI
3. When an update is available, update : configuration is lost.

Expected behavior
Configuration should remain untouched : backup & restore the configuration file ?

Note this is a minor issue, and thanks for your work!
Cheers

Error while installing simple-torrent

How to post a meaningful bug report

1. Read this whole template first.
2. Determine if you are on the right place:
   • If you were performing an action on the app from the webadmin or the CLI (install, update, backup, restore, change_url...), you are on the right place!
   • Otherwise, the issue may be due to Simple Torrent itself. Refer to its documentation or repository for help.
   • If you have a doubt, post here, we will figure it out together.
3. Delete the italic comments as you write over them below, and remove this guide.

Describe the bug
I've tried to intall simple-torrent, first without removing transmission, and then after removing it, but the error shown its the same and it doesn't end the installation.

Versions

• Hardware: Cubox i4-pro, Armbian 21.02.3 Buster with Linux 5.10.21-imx6
• YunoHost version: 4.1.7.4
• I have access to my server: SSH and webadmin
• Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ?: maybe?
  I installed manually over an already existent armbian (fresh install)
• Using, or trying to install package version/branch: main version
• If upgrading, current package version:

To Reproduce

• Access webadmin
• Go to Apps
• Click Install
• Search and install Simple-torrent

or

• Access via ssh
• Perform sudo yunohost app install simple-torrent

I've tried in both cases to keep default values and editing them.

Expected behavior
Installation of the App

Sorry for the Italian, the error translate to: "Error in installation script", and the first warning appears after the line "Setting up source files...", then grep and wget launch errors.
