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.

This did not work. There is some documentation about a randomly generated password: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Web-UI-password-locked-on-qBittorrent-NO-X-(qbittorrent-nox)

Unfortunately, this requires navigating to and opening/editing system files. It seems to not be applicable to a docker install. Has anyone else run into this issue? has anyone found a working solution who would be willing to post a detailed solution?

    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: H7ct3xPes

    That’s the default admin credentials for the instance. I can then change the login or pw in the UI.

          Lol. Thank you. Part of the frustration of being a beginner in any space is that it’s not easy to discern which questions have simple answers and which are more complicated.

          From the search you linked, it looks like this is as simple as typing the command

          docker logs

          I’ll give that a try, once I have access to the server again.

            Also if you’ve never seen it, lazydocker might be something up your alley.

            It’s a TUI, but it provides easy access to docker containers, logs, updating/restarting/stopping/etc them and so on.
