2019-02-06 04:56:27 +00:00
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
2022-05-02 04:38:52 +00:00
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 ) and our announcement [here ](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/ ).
2019-02-06 04:56:27 +00:00
2022-05-02 04:38:52 +00:00
Simply pulling `lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
2019-02-13 04:55:44 +00:00
2019-02-06 04:56:27 +00:00

2021-04-18 07:52:41 +00:00
## Application Setup
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
2022-08-31 17:42:22 +00:00
```text
2021-04-18 07:52:41 +00:00

## Parameters
2020-07-01 03:56:52 +00:00
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.

#### Miscellaneous Options

2020-07-01 03:56:52 +00:00
## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
2020-06-03 03:55:59 +00:00
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__` .
As an example:
2021-04-18 07:52:41 +00:00
```bash
2020-06-03 03:55:59 +00:00
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
```
Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file.
## Umask for running applications
2020-07-01 03:56:52 +00:00
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask ) before asking for support.
2019-02-06 04:56:27 +00:00
## User / Group Identifiers
2020-07-01 03:56:52 +00:00
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` .
2019-02-06 04:56:27 +00:00
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
2019-03-06 04:55:51 +00:00
In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000` , to find yours use `id user` as below:
2019-02-06 04:56:27 +00:00
2021-04-18 07:52:41 +00:00
```bash
2019-02-06 04:56:27 +00:00
$ id username
2019-03-06 04:55:51 +00:00
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
2019-02-06 04:56:27 +00:00
```
