Qbittorrent ssl setup

General Discussion

Howdy! Just wondering if I can use the cert I’ve set up with dietpi-letsencrypt and how I’d go about setting that up :thinking: Pretty sure I just need the cert from letsencrypt but can’t find its location anywhere.

I’ve got a reverse proxy working but without SSL on the service itself logins will fail, and Homer won’t allow it to send API requests (as the service API returns via HTTP).

Hi,

Just use Cloudflare Tunnel.

Okay so turns out I just needed to do the following:

  1. Copy my cert.pem and privateKey.pem from /etc/letsencrypt/live/[domain] to /home/qbittorrent/.config/qBittorrent/cert (I made the cert folder just fyi)

  2. chown qbittorrent /path/to/cert and the same for your private key

  3. in your qbittorrent web UI, open the settings > WebUI > use HTTPS and then copy the paths to your key and cert to the boxes provided. Dont forget to save at the bottom of the dialog!

  4. Refresh!

Note: If you use *arr apps or you’ve set up an nginx reverse proxy, these will need to be updated to link to HTTPS instead of plain HTTP, as they’ll fail to connect until updated D:

I might do eventually, but it’s a lot of extra effort and requires storing credit card/personal info on another external service when all I wanted was to get some darn stats to show up on my homer page :'D

Better to use symlink in case of certificate update.
