Docker Compose - qBitTorrent WebUI Login Issues

General Docker
1

Server info - Proxmox running on a mini PC. Ubuntu is installed on a VM and docker compose has already been installed properly and running.

With brand new docker container using the docker compose below, I can’t login with the default admin/adminadmin as it states invalid login credentials. Not sure if it’s a permissions issue, but I’m accessing all the files locally.

qbittorrent:
image: ‘lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest’
container_name: qbittorrent
environment:
- TZ=America/New_York
- PUID=1000
- PGID=137
- WEBUI_PORT=9865
volumes:
- ./containers:/config
- /mnt/downloads:/downloads
ports:
- 9865:9865
restart: unless-stopped

the qbittorrent blog tells you what to do (and mentioned this would happen a month ago)
you will need to move to an older tag, change your password, and then upgrade.

That did the trick, thank you so much. I kept messing around with permissions, searching the web, but couldn’t find anything. After I installed 4.5.5 from 1 month ago, changed the username/password in the UI, then changed my docker compose to latest, it works great. Thanks again driz.

Thanks for asking and answering this question for me. My first dabble with qbittorrent and I couldn’t even get in.
