🖼️ Additional context (optional).

Nothing special. I have a number of Helper-Script LXC containers running on a proxmox cluster. This is the first one that has resulted in an error.

cant reproduce the issue. works fine

Try with Default settings and verbose first

I also have the exact same issue. Tried this script when it was on proxmoxved and it didnt work then and it doesn't work now either. I have the exact same issue. Ive tried default settings, default settings with verbose, advanced etc. I always get the same error.

For some reason it seems that the /config folder doesn't exist and neither does the settings.json file.
For this path that is: /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json

So the script always falls over. Can the script be altered to just check for the existance of this path before executing the command and if it doesn't exist just create it?

I understand this is working fine for you guys, but its failing me and another person so there is an issue here for sure. Please can this issue be re-opened?

EDIT: Does anyone know the default login?
Ive tried:

• username =root and password = alpine
• username =root and password = Alpine
• username =root and password = root
• username =root and password = ``
  Nothings working :/

[tremor021]

There is no root login password. Its autologin via LXC console.

If it asks you to login, that means that script didn't finish properly

[tremor021]

I cant reproduce your issue. Script works fine

[azy2k9]

Is there anything else you can recommend? Is there no way you wont consider adding a simple if check for the existence of a directory? its not just me experiencing this issue :/

[tremor021]

Ok, as a precaution, i'm adding a slight pause before stopping the service.

Try again after #4553 merges
