linuxserver/qbittorrent¶
The Qbittorrent project aims to provide an open-source software alternative to µTorrent. qBittorrent is based on the Qt toolkit and libtorrent-rasterbar library.
Supported Architectures¶
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
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.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ❌ |
Version Tags¶
This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags.
| Tag | Available | Description |
|---|---|---|
| latest | ✅ | Stable qbittorrent releases |
| libtorrentv1 | ✅ | Static qbittorrent builds using libtorrent v1 |
Application Setup¶
The web UI is at <your-ip>:8080 and a temporary password for the admin user will be printed to the container log on startup.
You must then change username/password in the web UI section of settings. If you do not change the password a new one will be generated every time the container starts.
If you are running a very old (3.x) kernel you may run into this issue which can be worked around using this method
WEBUI_PORT variable¶
Due to issues with CSRF and port mapping, should you require to alter the port for the web UI 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
TORRENTING_PORT¶
A bittorrent client can be an active or a passive node. Running your client as an active node has the advantage of being able to connect to both active and passive peers, and can potentially increase the number of incoming connections. This requires an open port on the host machine which might differ from container's internal one.
Similarly to the WEBUI_PORT, to set the port to 6887 you need to pass -p 6887:6887, -p 6887:6887/udp and -e TORRENTING_PORT=6887 arguments to Docker.
Usage¶
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.
