How to properly move completed torrents to an existing container?

[BalloonPark]

Previously I was able to move completed torrents to an install on a different system by just copying the contents of the \completed folder and the torrent files in transmission-home\torrents.

I recently tried to do this again with a container that already had some torrents and I had been running for a while. I copied my completed files and torrents to the data and torrent folders. After doing this I restarted the container but can no logner access the web UI. The logs/portainer/unraid seem to indicate the container started and is working, but I don't see any CPU or network activity. When I try to access the webui, it does not load.

This container had been running for several months on an Unraid server. Let me know if any additional information is needed.

If this current container can't be salvaged, I would like to create a new container and migrate all my completed torrents there properly so this doesn't happen again.

I'm not very tech savvy and I appreciate any help!

You are using a very very old version of the container.
First try using :dev instead
