Since I had a Hard time setting up https for qbittorrent on TruenasScale here is a tutorial. I don’t really know where to put it.
I was using the TrueCharts version for Qbittorrent. When I correctly enabled Https however it broke everything and I couldn’t connect to it anymore. I had to edit the qbittorrent.conf to disable it again.
Using this answer for firefox:
And this: Linux WebUI setting up HTTPS with self signed SSL certificates · qbittorrent/qBittorrent Wiki · GitHub
Go to your /config/qbittorrent/sslfolder (if not there create it).
openssl req -x509 -nodes \
-newkey RSA:2048 \
-keyout root-ca.key \
-days 365 \
-out root-ca.crt \
-subj '/C=US/ST=Denial/L=Earth/O=Atest/CN=root_CA_for_firefox'
Replace everything after subj to your liking, but copy it you will need it later once more.
openssl req -nodes \
-newkey rsa:2048 \
-keyout server.key \
-out server.csr \
-subj '/C=US/ST=Denial/L=Earth/O=Dis/CN=anything_but_whitespace'
now create a extfile.txt and fill it with this:
subjectAltName = IP:<your ip adress>
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid,issuer
basicConstraints = CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
extendedKeyUsage=serverAuth
You also can use a domain instead:
subjectAltName = DNS:<your domain name supporting wildcard>
openssl x509 -req \
-CA root-ca.crt \
-CAkey root-ca.key \
-in server.csr \
-out server.crt \
-days 365 \
-CAcreateserial \
-extfile extfile.txt
Now edit your App in truenas and go to Network.
Then add your ethernet adapter and enter a static ip. (of course a different from your truenas server one)
For some reason I needed to do this, or it won’t work. Probably because of the https config for my truenas server.
Now enter the crt and key in your webui settings.
/config/qBittorrent/ssl/server.crt
/config/qBittorrent/ssl/server.key
Finally add the root-ca.crt to your firefox in your about:preferences#privacy in the Certificates and then in Authority import it.
I hope this helps someone.
I finally can now use magnet links in firefox to open directly qbittorrent.
