PSA: Changes are happening

From August 2018 onwards, Linuxserver are in the midst of switching to a new CI platform which will enable us to build and release multiple architectures under a single repo. To this end, existing images for arm64 and armhf builds are being deprecated. They are replaced by a manifest file in each container which automatically pulls the correct image for your architecture. You'll also be able to pull based on a specific architecture tag.

TLDR: Multi-arch support is changing from multiple repos to one repo per container image.

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

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.

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	arm32v6-latest

Usage

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

docker

docker create \
  --name=qbittorrent \
  -e PUID=1001 \
  -e PGID=1001 \
  -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 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/qbittorrent

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  qbittorrent:
    image: linuxserver/qbittorrent
    container_name: qbittorrent
    environment:
      - PUID=1001
      - PGID=1001
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - UMASK_SET=022
      - WEBUI_PORT=8080
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
    ports:
      - 6881:6881
      - 6881:6881/udp
      - 8080:8080
    mem_limit: 4096m
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Container 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.

Parameter	Function
`-p 6881`	tcp connection port
`-p 6881/udp`	udp connection port
`-p 8080`	http gui
`-e PUID=1001`	for UserID - see below for explanation
`-e PGID=1001`	for GroupID - see below for explanation
`-e TZ=Europe/London`	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London
`-e UMASK_SET=022`	for umask setting of qbittorrent, optional , default if left unset is 022
`-e WEBUI_PORT=8080`	for changing the port of the webui, see below for explanation
`-v /config`	Contains all relevant configuration files.

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=1001 and PGID=1001, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(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=*

Support Info

Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it qbittorrent /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f qbittorrent
container version number
- docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' qbittorrent
image version number
- docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/qbittorrent

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Run/Create

Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/qbittorrent
Stop the running container: docker stop qbittorrent
Delete the container: docker rm qbittorrent
Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
Start the new container: docker start qbittorrent
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Compose

Update the image: docker-compose pull linuxserver/qbittorrent
Let compose update containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
