Remote access to Web-UI #14

Open screwfaze opened 5 years ago

screwfaze commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the awesome program, I am having trouble connecting to the Web UI from outside my network after port forwarding on my router. I am new to Docker so probably just missing a setting somewhere can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Thanks

No one has any advice ? Does the developer of this app have any assistance?

If you want to use the WebUI outside your network, the best solution would be to add a reverse proxy like NGINX to handle http(s) traffic. As far as qbit will know, its coming from within the network.

Expose the WebUI port to a docker network with an NGINX container and serve http(s) traffic through it

Thanks mate already did this like a month ago 😂

No problem. I just saw that the issue was open and you didn't get a response yet. Figured might as well.

You may wanna close the ticket then though

I am trying to run a docker with qtorrent on a remote server, and access the port 8080 over the net. but I am having a hard time with it, would this work? if so any ideas, on what steps I should follow?

Uh... how do you do this??? Is there a guide out there? Running on an Ubuntu server.
