WebUI Configuration

• Downloader Type is the downloader type. Currently only qBittorrent is supported.
• Host is the downloader address. See below
• Download path is the mapped download path for the downloader. See below
• SSL enables SSL for the downloader connection.

Common Issues

Downloader Address

Note

Do not use 127.0.0.1 or localhost as the downloader address.

Since AB runs in Docker with Bridge mode in the official tutorial, using 127.0.0.1 or localhost will resolve to AB itself, not the downloader.

• If your qBittorrent also runs in Docker, we recommend using the Docker gateway address: 172.17.0.1.
• If your qBittorrent runs on the host machine, use the host machine's IP address.

If you run AB in Host mode, you can use 127.0.0.1 instead of the Docker gateway address.

Note

Macvlan isolates container networks. Without additional bridge configuration, containers cannot access other containers or the host itself.

Download Path Issues

The path configured in AB is only used to generate the corresponding anime file path. AB itself does not directly manage files at that path.

What should I put for the download path?

This parameter just needs to match your downloader's configuration:

• Docker: If qB uses /downloads, then set /downloads/Bangumi. You can change Bangumi to anything.
• Linux/macOS: If it's /home/usr/downloads or /User/UserName/Downloads, just append /Bangumi at the end.
• Windows: Change D:\Media\ to D:\Media\Bangumi
