WebUI, login credentials

Post by Arelius »

Hi all,

Is it possible to go around the WebUI login page by using any of these?

- WEBUI_USERNAME=
- WEBUI_PASSWORD=
- QBITTORRENT_WEBUI_USERNAME=
- QBITTORRENT_WEBUI_PASSWORD=

- Could you clarify what do you mean by "go around"?
- Also, each Docker qBittorrent "distribution" is different, there is no official version. So each will differ in behavior.

I don't want to get asked for user/pass is what I mean.

I have not seen any builds with these commands (not that I remember at least) so I tried adding them to Docker compose but none of them worked so I though maybe it's just not possible(?).

Is there any build out there that supports such behavior?

It would be a BIG security flaw.

Simply go into settings and you can enable whitelist. Like you can whitelist an IP for example. If it's on the internet and you don't have a static IP, you can always set up SSH port forward and then use the local IP (like 127.0.0.1) as whitelist.

Under which tab can I find that setting? Maybe I'm blind :o
