    The authentication glue you need.

  • However, this app is able to authenticate and control qBit regardless of the webui username and password supplied; all it needs is the URL (qbittorrent.example.com) and it has full access. This is a huge security concern as this is a public facing service, and anyone with this url would be able to interact with my qBit instance, regardless of the fact that I'm protecting it with an authentication system.

  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  • I have a reverse proxy that points to the qBittorrent webui via a subdomain (qbittorrent.example.com, handled by a webserver not qBit). I'm using an app that takes this URL plus the webui credentials to interact with the qBittorrent API, so I can manage my torrents and media library all via this single app (nzb360).

  • InfluxDB
