I’m currently trying to spin up a new server stack including qBittorrent. when I launch the web UI, it asks for a login on first launch. According to the documentation, the default user id admin and the default password is adminadmin.
Solved:
For qBittorrent ≥ v4.1, a randomly generated password is created at startup on the initial run of the program. After starting the container, enter the following into a terminal:
docker logs qbittorrent or sudo docker logs qbittorrent (if you do not have access to the container)
The command should return:
******** Information ******** To control qBittorrent, access the WebUI at: http://localhost:5080/ The WebUI administrator username is: admin The WebUI administrator password was not set. A temporary password is provided for this session: G9yw3qSby You should set your own password in program preferences.
Use this password to login for this session. Then create a new password by opening http://{localhost}:5080 and navigate the menus to -> Tools -> Options -> WebUI ->Change current password. Don’t forget to save.
When I install qbittorrent via docker, I see this in the docker logs:
qbittorrent-1 | 2024-11-04T15:25:25.201955254Z The WebUI administrator username is: admin qbittorrent-1 | 2024-11-04T15:25:25.201974066Z The WebUI administrator password was not set. A temporary password is provided for this session: H7ct3xPesThat’s the default admin credentials for the instance. I can then change the login or pw in the UI.
Where do I find that information? What is the exact command that I should type?
