Cannot login to Qbittorrent and even after recreating container I cannot login reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheePorkchopExpress · 2023-12-01 01:11 Like title says, I have qbit, been using it for awhile now. All of a sudden I could not login, at first I thought I forgot my password. So I created the container, and still it doesn't work, even with default logins, admin/adminadmin. The odd thing is that the tutorial I found to fix this issue said to remove a line from the config file that I do not even have in the config file. I do not have any password line in the config file. Followed some comments in here: (not using unraid) [https://www.reddit .com/r/unRAID/comments/e6bovo/qbittorrent\_cant\_log\_in\_to\_webui/]( https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/e6bovo/qbittorrent_cant_log_i n_to_webui/) I did not have the passowrd line so deleted the whole config folder (qBittorrent.conf), restarted the container. Tried to login but the logs are still saying I am using the wrong credentials My logs. Not sure why it is referencing the .31 internal IP address, that is not the address it is hosted on. 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - qBittorrent v4.6.1 started (N) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Using config directory: /config/qBittorrent (N) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Trying to listen on the following list of IP addresses: "0.0.0.0:6881,[::]:6881" (I) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Peer ID: "-qB4610-" (I) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - HTTP User-Agent: "qBittorrent/4.6.1" (I) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Distributed Hash Table (DHT) support: ON (I) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Local Peer Discovery support: ON (I) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Peer Exchange (PeX) support: ON (I) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Anonymous mode: OFF (I) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Encryption support: ON (I) 2023-11-30T19:59:33 - Successfully listening on IP.

The last updates for qbit made changes to that, generating a random password if you didn't set one. Most containers should output this in the docker logs. Binhex container doesn't seem to do so. On https://forums.unraid.net/topic/75539-support-binhex- qbittorrentvpn/page/120/ nraygun explains what to add to the config to set it to adminadmin. You can then log in and change it as needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Smart-Parking-9946 · 2023-12-01 04:15 If you use the latest version there a problem it show you a temporary password only when you restart or shutdown the container to solve it I have run a container on the previous version connect with admin/admin and after update your image but u must have a persistent volume for your configuration ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Smart-Parking-9946 · 2023-12-01 14:15 I've got the error last week and the problem it is qbit generate a temp pass for the first use but don't show it in log until you shutdown or reboot and obviously every boot the pass change. I try to add """WebUI\\Password\_PBKDF2="@ByteArray(ARQ77eY1NUZaQsuDHbIMCA==:0W MRkYTUWVT9wVvdDtHAjU9b3b7uB8NR1Gur2hmQCvCDpm39Q+PsJRJPaCU51dEiz+dTzh8q bPsL8WkFljQYFQ==)" """ in the config file but it overwite the file every boot and doesn't work without reboot I finaly found how solve the problem here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ unRAID/comments/180ou0b/comment/ka8tnr7/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium =web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/180ou0b/com ment/ka8tnr7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) You must to create a container with the previous version and a persitent volume for the config file login with admin / adminadmin change the password and update the version and connect with the password u set up ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RiffSphere · 2023-12-01 19:53 That also works yes. Maybe it's worth mentioning you have to stop the container before editing the config file. Else, the container will overwrite the config on shutdown, and your edit is gone. Anyway, glad it worked out :-)
