qBittorrent stuck on deploying if https

[ajp_anton]

qBittorrent works fine out of the box, and all other settings work fine. However when I try to activate https on the WebUI, it breaks.

I followed this guide:

Linux WebUI setting up HTTPS with self signed SSL certificates

qBittorrent BitTorrent client. Contribute to qbittorrent/qBittorrent development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Specifically, I ran the command

Code:

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out server.crt -keyout server.key

just entering through the process to use the defaults. Then entering the path to these files in the qBt settings.

Note: it doesn't break yet. Saving this and changing the URL to https works fine (will have to accept the self-signage in the browser). However as soon as I stop and restart the app within TrueNAS, it will get stuck on "deploying" indefinitely. This happens if and only if the https setting is activated.

Here's the log from the app:

You're not crazy. I've reinstalled qbittorrent 3 times now from scratch and I get to the exact same spot and problem. Useless too since I can't register it as a default magnet handler without https.

 

[sirpawel]

Still no solution ?

 

[efalsken]

Oh, after much delay, I'm pretty sure what it was doing was resetting the permissions on every file in my app data share. It took most of the day. I deleted the app and won't touch it again. Apps should never do anything potentially-destructive automatically without a visible option or notification. qBittorrent from TrueCharts community does not do this automatically, although there is an option to enable this behavior.

Strip ACL and then what kind of permissions. My tries unfortunately had no effect.

Same problem here, how did you fix it?
