How do we use the web UI? I cannot find any help on the subject, but I really would like to control qbittorrent from another place.
Thank you.
Yeah, I’d really, REALLY like to find out how to install this on a headless server with the web ui… Otherwise, I think I’m going to have to stick with deluge.
v2 is too buggy in Karmic. I was trying to transfer my torrents from transmission and just have wasted 20 min.
Byonik, I don’t have it installed, but my guess is that it is like pretty much everything else with a web interface. If your are accessing it from a local network “http;//localhost”:portnumber or 192.168.0.1:portnumber. Often portnumber is defaulted to 8080 I believe.
To do it remotely, you’d have to open that port from your router(if you’re like me) and then it would be http://youripaddress:portnumber
You should also be able to point a url to that IP address, either one you own, or a free one from online.
You’d want to verify all this, however, it is all from memory.
not working it says a problem in network configuration i think there is a bug since the configuration is right
