How to migrate/export all data to another Docker container?

Hello!

Long time qBittorrent user and first timer with Docker. I plan to switch my qbit docker container outside TrueNAS, and because I couldn't find a way to export the whole container, I am now looking to export all torrent and settings data from that container, so I can load it to another one.

Is there some sort of guide, or can you give me some advices on how should I proceed? I kind of wish to keep all of my metadata like TBs seeded, % downloaded and so on.

Thanks!

find where the config is stored on truenas and then just map that directory to /config on your new container.

e.g i have my config folder stored in /mnt/tank/container-data/qbit I map this path to /config of the container i want to use it. Anytime a container is deleted the config persists as its saved on the truenas pool.
