[BUG] WEB ui fails to start about docker-qbittorrent HOT 11 CLOSED

Same issue here. After a restart, the webUI is accessible from some time, but then becomes unavailable, with no error message in the logs.

@vertuk considering the labels, it's likely OP has his container sitting behind a reverse proxy

It shouldn't be related (I'm running qbittorrent though traefik without any issues, technically twice), but you have an odd issue that none of us had seen before and that means we need to reduce the variables as much as possible: step one is remove the reverse proxy from the equation and connect directly.

You didn't expose port 8080 in docker-compose.

I am using traefik to expose the UI. As visible from within the container there is no process listening to port 8080

Also I have not changed the docker-compose config for ages. I had some issues with my partition getting to the read only state so I believe that some configs might got corrupted, but the biggest issue it that I do not see any errors, so it is impossible to debug. Is there any way of enabling debugging logs?

Last time it was working according to the logs

(N) 2023-10-30T09:29:02 - qBittorrent v4.6.0 started
...
(N) 2023-11-06T21:27:48 - Using built-in Web UI.
(N) 2023-11-06T21:27:48 - Web UI translation for selected locale (en) has been successfully loaded.
(N) 2023-11-06T21:27:48 - Web UI: Now listening on IP: *, port: 8080

I have tried using the image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:4.6.0 but it does not change the outcome

If I am running a fresh container without any config the UI is starting

 docker run --rm -it lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent bash

I have also tried backing up the qBittorrent.conf and running without any config and it is still stuck.

We do not support traefik here which is likely what is causing your problem. In your compose examples, you're missing the required webui port, then in your set of logs, I see youi've not passed PUID/PGID which likely cause a permissions issue. Remove all traefik config, follow our container readme, then see if it works. We have no plans to assist with any traefik issues and they are not a qbittorrent container issue.

from docker-qbittorrent.

Closing this as the user has a config issue, which doesnt not belong in ghi. They have joined discord and were told the same thing i mentioned above.

from docker-qbittorrent.

How can this be related to traefik? The container itself ha nothing listening to the port 8080. If you like I can remove it, but it cannot affect the fact that the web ui listener is not starting inside the container.

Isn't this the config to set the PUID/PGID?

environment:
      - PUID=1001
      - PGID=1001
      - TZ=Europe/Vilnius
      - UMASK_SET=022
      - WEBUI_PORT=8080

I have managed to find that the issue was with the files in config/qBittorrent/BT_backup folder. After removing the folder it have started working again. So the issue is not related to the image - it is qbittorent itself hanging.

Also if someone will be looking - the flag to have more logs is S6_VERBOSITY=2

@lkiiiiiz Thank you so much! In my case, I found there's a huge (>60 MB) .fastresume file in my BT_backup folder. Once removed, everything is back to normal.

Don't use docker desktop.
