Since qBittorrent v4.6.1 release, the default user: admin, password: adminadmin are no longer valid.

A new temporary random password would be generated on each start. The password can be obtained from docker logs:

2023-11-22T21:20:01.463998807Z The WebUI administrator username is: admin
2023-11-22T21:20:01.464001163Z The WebUI administrator password was not set. A temporary password is provided for this session: XXXXXXX

Oh, that's good! Great catch! For the time being I'll pin the old version, but I'll definitely fix this properly soon! Thank you for the catch!

For some reason I still can't login with this new autogenerated password on start. Still investigating why.

Edit: No temporary password worked for me, so I stopped the qbittorrent container, edited the qBittorrent.conf and adding in the following line in the end (in Preferences section)

WebUI\Password_PBKDF2="@ByteArray(ARQ77eY1NUZaQsuDHbIMCA==:0WMRkYTUWVT9wVvdDtHAjU9b3b7uB8NR1Gur2hmQCvCDpm39Q+PsJRJPaCU51dEiz+dTzh8qbPsL8WkFljQYFQ==)"

This sets the password back to "adminadmin". Used this workaround so I can login in the Web UI and set a new secure password. DO NOT LEAVE THIS "adminadmin" password!!! Change it!

It seems this is a bug on the qBittorrent container. For the time being, I pinned the qBittorrent verison to 4.6.0. I will fix this properly once the bug is solved. Thank you for the report!

The bug is solved upstream.

The web UI is at :8080 and a temporary password for the admin user will be printed to the container log on startup.

You must then change username/password in the web UI section of settings. If you do not change the password a new one will be generated every time the container starts.

See README file.

Put docker logs -f qbittorrent in terminal to display the temporary password.
