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/). Simply pulling `ghcr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent` 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 | Tag | | :----: | --- | | x86-64 | amd64-latest | | arm64 | arm64v8-latest | | armhf | arm32v7-latest | ## Version Tags This image provides various versions that are available via tags. `latest` tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them. | Tag | Description | | :----: | --- | | latest | Stable qbittorrent releases | | unstable | Unstable qbittorrent releases | ## Application Setup The webui is at `: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=* ``` ## Usage To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli. ### docker-compose (recommended, [click here for more info](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose)) ```yaml --- version: "2.1" services: qbittorrent: image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent container_name: qbittorrent environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/London - WEBUI_PORT=8080 volumes: - /path/to/appdata/config:/config - /path/to/downloads:/downloads ports: - 6881:6881 - 6881:6881/udp - 8080:8080 restart: unless-stopped ``` ### docker cli ([click here for more info](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/)) ```bash docker run -d \ --name=qbittorrent \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Europe/London \ -e WEBUI_PORT=8080 \ -p 6881:6881 \ -p 6881:6881/udp \ -p 8080:8080 \ -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \ -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads \ --restart unless-stopped \ ghcr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent ``` ## Parameters Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `:` 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=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation | | `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation | | `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London | | `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. | | `/downloads` | Location of downloads on disk. | ## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets) You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`. As an example: ```bash -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 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. ## User / Group Identifiers 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=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below: ```bash $ id username uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup) ``` ## Docker Mods [![Docker Mods](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/yaml?color=94398d&labelColor=555555&logoColor=ffffff&style=for-the-badge&label=qbittorrent&query=%24.mods%5B%27qbittorrent%27%5D.mod_count&url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Flinuxserver%2Fdocker-mods%2Fmaster%2Fmod-list.yml)](https://mods.linuxserver.io/?mod=qbittorrent "view available mods for this container.")
