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?
This is actually very easy. You can copy the files from the container, even while it’s not running, onto your host system to edit there, and then copy them back afterwards.
See the top answer on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22907231/how-to-copy-files-from-host-to-docker-container for step by step instructions on how to do this.
