When I install qbittorrent via docker, I see this in the docker logs:
qbittorrent-1 | 2024-11-04T15:25:25.201955254Z The WebUI administrator username is: admin
qbittorrent-1 | 2024-11-04T15:25:25.201974066Z The WebUI administrator password was not set. A temporary password is provided for this session: H7ct3xPes
That's the default admin credentials for the instance. I can then change the login or pw in the UI.
Where do I find that information? What is the exact command that I should type?
Lol. Thank you. Part of the frustration of being a beginner in any space is that it's not easy to discern which questions have simple answers and which are more complicated.
From the search you linked, it looks like this is as simple as typing the command
docker logs
I'll give that a try, once I have access to the server again.
Also if you've never seen it, lazydocker might be something up your alley.
It's a TUI, but it provides easy access to docker containers, logs, updating/restarting/stopping/etc them and so on.
It looks like in this case the answer was a little deeper than a simple search, but no worries - you set me in the right direction. I'll add the solution to the post.
This is actually very easy. You can copy the files from the container, even while it's not running, onto your host system to edit there, and then copy them back afterwards.
See the top answer on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22907231/how-to-copy-files-from-host-to-docker-container for step by step instructions on how to do this.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
