qBittorrent container no longer seems to print random session webui password to screen/log

General Docker
1

When firing up the qBittorrent with docker compose, the session webui password used to be printed to the screen and container log.
This no longer happens so one cannot log into the qBittorrent webui.
Please help.
Thanks! :slight_smile:

It looks like there is a password set in the qbittorrent config file, this makes it not generate a temporary one.

Exactly!
Setting this in qBittorrent.conf

WebUI\Password_PBKDF2=

Does the trick.
