Well its not missing since you can't really mess with Docker images and you don't often have permission for the WebUI.

But my recommendation? Don't mess with it.
IP filters made no sense ever. They are literally useless.

You could put the file by hand to the download folder, and load it from there basically.

If you want to (* if you NEED to) ban "bad peers", use the Enhanced Fork of qBittorrent.

Ps.: To expand upon what I said about Docker... it's a bit hard to explain in very short. But basically you have an immutable layer of images that are the same for every docker instance you run. So if I grab the same build of qBittorrent by "linuxserver" team for example, I have the same base, same behavior.

But docker files have mount options, where you mount up the whatever folders you need. Like the data folder where you download, like the settings where your qBittorrent settings will reside and you can also mount as many other things as you need. Point is, you have to place the ipfilter, alternative webui and whatever else in those folders.
