Qbittorrent ssl setup

General Discussion

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:
