最新版本中有一个锁文件阻断 init，容器需要干净地关闭，否则不会生成这个锁文件。如果你有很多种子需要关闭，可能需要利用"--stop-timeout=90"的 https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/stop/#signal，把它从10提升到90。

在容器中，锁文件位于 /config/.config/qBittorrent/lockfile

Have you read the pinned issue and also the issue that I linked in an earlier comment?

Have you read the pinned issue and also the issue that I linked in an earlier comment?

I did not. A google search brought me straight to this issue thread. I cannot read simplified chinese so I didn't read that post about the lockfile. Might be a good idea to close this issue to prevent further comments. Or marked as a duplicate of the existing issue.

Removing the lockfile solved it for me.

[romayojr]

i removed the lockfile, it starting working again, but the current password wouldn't work when i tried to login. it spit out a temp pw in the logs. not sure if that's the expected behavior but once i logged into the ui, i changed it

[qwerfghi]

I don't know what they are doing in upstream with qbittorent, but this is insufferable. First this issue with lockfile, which I had to remove each time it updated. Now I am not able to log in using my creedentials. Deleted the creds from config file, restarted the container, tried to use temporal password from container logs - still "Invalid Username or Password". Honestly, at this point, it seems like it is better to switch to something that will not break every week.
