Additional Information (if applicable)

  • Software title | qBittorrent v4.2.5
  • installed using dietpi-software

Steps to reproduce

  1. just install qbittorrent and reboot, the service is launched but the web interface doesn’t start

Expected behaviour

I expect that the web interface of qbittorrent goes up as the service starts, but instead I have to
manually execute qbittorrent-nox to run the web interface

Actual behaviour

the service is loaded and executed at boot but without web interface

3

I can not recreate this.
After a reboot, what gives you systemctl status qbittorrent.service?

4

as well pls show following to check LISTEN ports.

ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN

Thank you for your help.

Okay, I was looking at the wrong port, 8080, instead of 1340.

I’m so sorry!

Thank you!

yes, it is 1340 as stated on our online docs BitTorrent and Download Tools Software Options - DietPi.com Docs
