The main issue is that even though the docker image starts, the WebUI completely dead. The browser times out and will not connect with a simple "... refused to connect".
The Windows system was running the last version of qBittorrent before 5.0 was released and the docker image is the same.
I copied all the qBt config files off the Windows 10 machine and into a Linux directory that is being used for config directories.
I already changed the names of qBittorrent-data.ini and qBittorrent.ini to qBittorrent-data.conf and qBittorrent.conf.
There are no qBittorrent logs being generated when I start the docker container. I edited the qBittorrent.conf file to change the log file destination to the NAS config/qBittorrent/logs and still no logs.
The only log I have comes from docker:

[root@docker01 qBittorrent]#This error comes up when I start one of the known-good qbt docker images.
Something that may be important missing lines that are in a docker log from a known-good image:

[root@docker01 qBittorrent]#The Windows qBittorrent.conf file is much (much) larger than the qBittorant.conf file that is created by a fresh docker image. There is (maybe) 50 lines in a docker image's file vs 300 or 400 in the Windows file. I assume that's mainly due to age and the built-in GUI that comes with Windows.
I'm not at the point where I'm worried about the BT_Backup folder.
Unless I can get the WebUI running, I'll have to bail on the idea of migrating to Linux and be stuck with Windows.
Background:
I started qBittorrent on an old Windows 7 (64bit) laptop several years ago. When the laptop got too old and tired, I successfully moved qBt to a newer desktop system running Windows 10 (64bit) without losing any torrents, seeds or stalled download.
The desktop system cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, so I want to move to a docker host I have setup on Rocky Linux.
I played with the qBt docker images and proved that I could get a couple qBt images running using different WebUI and Torrenting ports for each without conflicts.
The qBt temp directories, downloads, .torrent files are still on a NAS (was the G-drive) and the qBittorrent config stuff was in the standard Windows locations.
I copied all the files and directories and keep them as backups on the NAS. But they are all still in Windows format.
