Can't access qbittorrent docker webui

LSIO Discussion Container Support

I installed qBittorrent docker. I made a forwarding on my router; then a reverse proxy using nginx; And finally, docker ports mapping.

The chains was:

[Port forwarding on Router]:
<WAN's IP>:44383 --> 192.168.10.254:44383   
[Nginx]:
44383 --> 44373
[qBittorrent Docker]:
44373 --> 8083

Nextcloud docker was done in the same way, and It worked for me. But it failed for qBittorrent.

Here was the docker-compose.yml:

admin@pve:~/docker-qbittorrent$ cat docker-compose.yml
version: "2"
services:
  qbittorrent:
    image: linuxserver/qbittorrent
    container_name: qbittorrent
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Asia/Shanghai
      - UMASK_SET=022
      - WEBUI_PORT=8073
      #- WEBUI_PORT=8080
      #- DOMAIN=https://example.com

    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./downloads:/downloads
    ports:
      - "6881:6881/tcp"
      - "6881:6881/udp"
      - "44373:8073"
      #- "44373:8080"
    restart: unless-stopped

And qbittorrent.conf:

admin@pve:~/docker-qbittorrent$ cat config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf
[AutoRun]
enabled=false
program=

[LegalNotice]
Accepted=true

[Network]
Cookies=@Invalid()

[Preferences]
Connection\PortRangeMin=6881
Connection\UPnP=false
Downloads\SavePath=/downloads/
Downloads\ScanDirsV2=@Variant(\0\0\0\x1c\0\0\0\0)
Downloads\TempPath=/downloads/incomplete/
WebUI\Address=*
WebUI\Port=8073
WebUI\ServerDomains=*

Here was the nginx config file:

admin@pve:/etc/nginx/sites-available$ cat ../sites-enabled/docker-qbittorrent
server {
  listen 8083;
  server_name example.com;
#  return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
#    listen 44383 ssl http2;
    listen 44383;
    server_name example.com;
    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/example.com.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/example.com.key;
    location / {
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:44373;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    }
}

The docker seemed work fine:

admin@pve:~/docker-qbittorrent$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                      COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                 PORTS                                                                               NAMES
8e7b4c80c1ea        linuxserver/qbittorrent    "/init"                  3 hours ago         Up 3 hours             0.0.0.0:6881->6881/tcp, 0.0.0.0:6881->6881/udp, 8080/tcp, 0.0.0.0:44373->8073/tcp   qbittorrent

But I could not get visit the webUI:

admin@pve:~/docker-qbittorrent$ curl localhost:6881
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
admin@pve:~/docker-qbittorrent$ curl localhost:44373
<No output here>
admin@pve:~/docker-qbittorrent$ curl https://example.com:44383
<No output here>

I got a blank webpage using the chrome browser.

But inside the the docker, the webUI seemed OK:

admin@pve:~/docker-qbittorrent$ docker exec -ti qbittorrent bash
root@8e7b4c80c1ea:/# curl localhost:8073
<!DOCTYPE html>
...
</html>

Could any one can help? Thanks!

You need to use the same port on both sides of the container due to the CSRF issue explained in the readme.

Thank you. It worked after changing to the same ports.
