Qbittorent doesn't start before login - debian

Post by alexnt »

I have set up a debian vm as a media pc(qbt & plex) but I noticed that qbt doesn't run until I login to desktop or at least cannot access the webui from my win10 machine until I login debian user first.
I have already added qbt to the startup applications in this vm. I would, also, prefer the user not to autologin.
Is there any way I can make this work?

Code: Select all

loginctl enable-linger

if you are using systemd user instance.

Isn't this used after user logout? I need something to run automatically qbt without login user first.

Hi,

QBT is a user process so by default you need to open a session and QBT and the configured WebUI will start.
You can launch it system side but extra config is needed, is this the path you took ?
