The [Qbittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/) project aims to provide an open-source software alternative to µTorrent. qBittorrent is based on the Qt toolkit and libtorrent-rasterbar library.
## Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as `x86-64`, `arm64` and `armhf`. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list).
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
### docker
```
docker create \
--name=qbittorrent \
-e PUID=1001 \
-e PGID=1001 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-e UMASK_SET=022 \
-e WEBUI_PORT=8080 \
-p 6881:6881 \
-p 6881:6881/udp \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/qbittorrent
```
### docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
```yaml
---
version: "2"
services:
qbittorrent:
image: linuxserver/qbittorrent
container_name: qbittorrent
environment:
- PUID=1001
- PGID=1001
- TZ=Europe/London
- UMASK_SET=022
- WEBUI_PORT=8080
volumes:
-</path/to/appdata/config>:/config
ports:
- 6881:6881
- 6881:6881/udp
- 8080:8080
mem_limit: 4096m
restart: unless-stopped
```
## Parameters
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.
### Ports (`-p`)
| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `6881` | tcp connection port |
| `6881/udp` | udp connection port |
| `8080` | http gui |
### Environment Variables (`-e`)
| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1001` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1001` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
| `UMASK_SET=022` | for umask setting of qbittorrent, optional , default if left unset is 022 |
| `WEBUI_PORT=8080` | for changing the port of the webui, see below for explanation |
### Volume Mappings (`-v`)
| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | Contains all relevant configuration files. |
When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance `PUID=1001` and `PGID=1001`, to find yours use `id user` as below:
The webui is at `<your-ip>:8080` and the default username/password is `admin/adminadmin`.
Change username/password via the webui in the webui section of settings.
### WEBUI_PORT variable
Due to issues with CSRF and port mapping, should you require to alter the port for the webui you need to change both sides of the -p 8080 switch AND set the WEBUI_PORT variable to the new port.
For example, to set the port to 8090 you need to set -p 8090:8090 and -e WEBUI_PORT=8090
This should alleviate the "white screen" issue.
If you have no webui , check the file /config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf
edit or add the following lines
```
WebUI\Address=*
WebUI\ServerDomains=*
```

*`docker logs -f qbittorrent`
* Container version number
*`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' qbittorrent`
* Image version number
*`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/qbittorrent`
