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

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 and our announcement here.

Simply pulling 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

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

docker

docker create \
  --name=qbittorrent \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -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 \
  -v </path/to/downloads>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/qbittorrent

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

version: "2.1"
services:
  qbittorrent:
    image: linuxserver/qbittorrent
    container_name: qbittorrent
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - UMASK_SET=022
      - WEBUI_PORT=8080
    volumes:

      - </path/to/downloads>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 6881:6881
      - 6881:6881/udp
      - 8080:8080
    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=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
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.
/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:

-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 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:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

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

WebUI\Address=*

WebUI\ServerDomains=*
