qBittorrent on Cresdock
qBittorrent is a free, open-source BitTorrent client with a full web interface — one of the most-used download clients for a self-hosted setup.
What Cresdock sets up for you
Single sign-on through your panel login — qBittorrent's own login screen is skipped entirely (its WebUI is only reachable through the proxy, which whitelists itself), so there's no separate qBittorrent password to remember.
Your plan's speed limits and inbound BitTorrent port are seeded directly into its config on install — no manual throttle settings to hunt for.
If you also install cross-seed, it detects qBittorrent automatically and starts cross-seeding without editing a config file.
Installing it
- Pick it from the catalog
From your dashboard, choose qBittorrent and click Install — no Dockerfile, no compose file.
- Wait a couple of minutes
The panel pulls the image, seeds its configuration, and starts it up.
- Open it from your dashboard
Your access details are on the app's card, and you can start, stop, update or remove it with a click, any time.
Common questions
Do I need to know Docker to run qBittorrent?
No — it's a one-click install through the panel, same as every app in the catalog.
Is my qBittorrent data safe during an update?
Yes. Updates and reinstalls change qBittorrent's own configuration only — never your downloaded files or media library, by design.
Can I remove qBittorrent later without losing my setup?
Removing it can keep its configuration for a future reinstall — you choose when you remove it.
