The webui is at `<your-ip>:8080` and the default username/password is `admin/adminadmin`.

Change username/password via the webui in the webui section of settings.
The web UI is at `<your-ip>:8080` and a temporary password for the `admin` user will be printed to the container log on startup.

### WEBUI_PORT variable

Due to issues with CSRF and port mapping, should you require to alter the port for the webui you need to change both sides of the -p 8080 switch AND set the WEBUI_PORT variable to the new port.

For example, to set the port to 8090 you need to set -p 8090:8090 and -e WEBUI_PORT=8090

This should alleviate the "white screen" issue.

If you have no webui , check the file /config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf

edit or add the following lines
You must then change username/password in the web UI section of settings. If you do not change the password a new one will be generated every time the container starts.

```text
WebUI\Address=*

WebUI\ServerDomains=*
