Hey all,
I think I got most of it to work using this guide: https://fossengineer.com/selfhosting-qBittorrent-with-docker-and-VPN/
I get the qBittorrent UI but login doesnt seem to be admin/adminadmin, it says invalid username or password. I haven’t been able to log into this yet. I saw a guide saying I can just remove the following lines from conf file:
password= # this only appear on qBittorrent version < 4.2.0 password_PBKDF2= # this only appear on qBittorrent version ≥ 4.2.0
THE PROBLEM IS THOSE LINES DO NOT EXIST IN MY CONFIG FILE. My config files are at /home/myuserid/docker/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf and it only has Adress=* and ServerDomains=* for WebUI\. How do i reset it? I originally had my config files in /home/docker/ but reinstalled thinking it was due to permission issues. my qBittorrent.conf has -rw-r–r-- permissions right now. I tried changing it to 755 prior to reinstall and it still didn’t seem to update. on my shell that I compose on, it says [custom-init] No custom files found, skipping…
Question #2 is my docker shell that i compose seems to say the right things? I get LSIO ascii art for qbittorrent. gluten says dns ready, healthcheck healthy, vpn 3 commits behind the msot recent latest, and my vpn ip and city. but why does this keep connecting to random servers? how do i specify to connect to my local ones? there’s no line for that in the .yaml unlike the markus qbittorrentvpn one(which i also tried but failed miserably).
Just ran into this myself. I fixed it by disabling auth for my local network in the config file. IMPORTANT: Stop the container first because it overwrites config files on shutdown.
I was then able to log in and set the password. After that the login worked fine.
