qBittorrent version and Operating System

3.3.7 - OMV (Debian Based)

What is the problem

(type here)
I've just installed qbt for the first time from "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable" but it's only deploying version 3.3.7
I'm sure I'm just overlooking something but some guidance would be greatly appreciated as I want to update to get it working with Electorrent to use magnets from my other devices.

looks like OMV Linux uses Debian 9 as base. so, that's why only qbittorrent 3.3.7 is available.
adding Ubuntu' ppa that you found will not help, in most cases packages build for Ubuntu will not work for Debian (especially for too old Debian).
so as one way I can suggest to get newer qBittorrent version on that system - just build it from sources (it's easy, especially on debian-based systems), but you also need to build libtorrent.

or just consider to use any other distro (Debian 10 for example)

I had a bit of a look into it and it appears when they push out OMV5 it'll be moving to Debian 10, so the fix will come in time with the next major update I guess.

In the meantime are you able to point me to which sources I'd want and maybe a quick tutorial on how to build it?
It'd be much appreciated as I haven't gone as far as building from source in my previous endeavors

@Kolcha commented on GitHub (Oct 25, 2019):

first of all you need in compiler and different build utilities, just install build-essential package for them.
I assume you need only qbittorrent-nox (i.e. WebUI version only)
next install few dependencies: qtbase5-dev and libboost-system-dev
then download libtorrent 1.1.13 and qbittorrent 4.1.x source.
build and install libtorrent:

./configure --disable-silent-rules --disable-static --disable-logging --disable-deprecated-functions --with-libiconv
make
sudo make install

and then build qbittorrent

./configure --disable-gui --enable-systemd
make
sudo make install

or just follow instructions on qBittorrent Wiki

sorry for such inconvenience... just install qttools5-dev-tools package
I don't install Qt from repo for a long time, I usually build it by myself.
I even didn't expect such dev tool can be missed after qtbase5-dev installation....

@Kolcha commented on GitHub (Oct 25, 2019):

uhh.. seem to be Debian 9 uses compiler that doesn't enable C++11 by default...
you have to rebuild libtorrent with c++11 enabled:

./configure --disable-silent-rules --disable-static --disable-logging --disable-deprecated-functions --with-libiconv CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11"

(CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11" was added at the end of configure line)
you need build libtorrent from scratch (i.e. no any build artifacts in sources folder), dirty build will not solve issue. don't worry about binaries installed in system, they will be overridden with make install. than build qbittorrent (just run make, clean build is not required in this case)

do not change configure line for qbittorrent, use previous one, i.e.:

./configure --disable-gui --enable-systemd

I tried it again from scratch and now getting an error on the QB config that says it can't find qmake.
I'll just wait for your script and see how that goes haha :)
Much appreciated for going to the trouble for me

script is ready, just run it in any folder. run it without root (sudo), it will ask when it required.
but before running it just ensure that you don't have qbittorrent and libtorrent installed from repo:

sudo apt purge qbittorrent-nox libtorrent-rasterbar

then run this script

interesting... what is your GCC version? run gcc --version or g++ --version.
there is example output from my system:

g++ (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516

so my GCC is 6.3.0

5.0.5 is on Debian 10 and I think it's still in testing
My environment is OMV 4.19

Edit: They're still porting the OMV 4 plugins to OMV 5 otherwise it is available but not considered released.

so... I installed OMV 4 based on Debian 9, run script and found few typos in it, but no any issues during build. I updated the script, now it produces verbose output, please redirect it to file and share in case of error

./qbt-nox-build-debian.sh 2>&1 | tee build.log

and again, make sure that you don't have libtorrent from repo, it can't be used with 4.1.x qBittorrent:

apt purge libtorrent-rasterbar-dev libtorrent-rasterbar9

to run it as service just enable installed systemd unit:

systemctl enable qbittorrent-nox@root.service

using root user is not recommended, it is better to create separate user for qbittorrent
but please note that you must run qbittorrent-nox manually at least one time (under specific user which later be used to run qbittorrent), just to say "yes", as you maybe noticed before
to run qbittorrent using specific user, just replace 'root' after '@' in my line with desired user name

that documentation is pretty outdated, but still can be used.
so edit you created /etc/systemd/system/qbittorrent.service and change ExecStart field to /usr/local/bin/qbittorrent-nox (please not "local" in path, now you have qbittorrent executable here, because it was manually installed)

as you already have qbittorrent.service in /etc and it already enabled, nothing more must to be done, you can continue using it. or just disable and remove it and use unit which was installed after compilation (that's I mentioned). just replace "root" with "qbtuser" in my line for it.
there is no difference which one to use, but installed one already have correct paths because it was generated.
