This Docker image combines qBittorrent with the Filebot tool for automated media management. 🚀
This image is based on Ubuntu and includes the latest stable release of qBittorrent and Filebot. It provides an all-in-one solution for downloading and organizing media files. 🎬🎵

You can customize the behavior of the container using the following variables:
| Variable | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FILEBOT_LANG | en | Language for Filebot |
| FILEBOT_ACTION | copy | Action to perform (copy, move, symlink, hardlink, keeplink, test) |
| FILEBOT_CONFLICT | auto | Conflict resolution strategy |
| FILEBOT_ARTWORK | yes | Whether to fetch artwork |
| MUSIC_FORMAT | {plex} | Naming format for music files |
| MOVIE_FORMAT | {plex} | Naming format for movie files |
| SERIE_FORMAT | {plex} | Naming format for TV series files |
| ANIME_FORMAT | animes/{n}/{e.pad(3)} - {t} | Naming format for anime files |
| PUID | 99 | User ID for file permissions |
| PGID | 100 | Group ID for file permissions |
| FILES_CHECK_PERM | no | Whether to check file permissions on startup |
| WEBUI | 8080 | Port for the web interface |
- Set your PUID and PGID according to your system. The default values (99/100) are for unRAID's nobody/users.
- The {plex} format will organize files into specific folders (Movies, TV Shows, Music). Adjust if needed.
Using {plex.id} instead of {plex} includes the numeric ID in the folder name, which is more machine-friendly. - FILEBOT_ACTION is set to "copy" by default. Be aware of the implications when changing this setting. See below.
- Add your Filebot license file (psm file) to /data/filebot folder and restart the container.
- Default qBittorrent login is "admin". A new password is generated at each startup (check logs) until you set a permanent one.
- To customize the fb.sh script, set custom=1 inside the script to prevent overwriting on restart.
- Setting FILES_CHECK_PERM to "yes" may significantly increase startup time.
- If you change the default ports in the qBittorrent config, update your Docker port mappings accordingly (Not needed if you use a dedicated ip for the container, or host network mode).
Important note about FILEBOT_ACTION: If you choose to set FILEBOT_ACTION to "MOVE" or "HARDLINK", you need to adapt your configuration:
- Use a single general mount point. For example (if you're using unRAID), mount /mnt/user (host) to /onemount (container).
( -v '/mnt/user':'/onemount':'rw' ) - Adjust the download folder in qBittorrent settings. For example, set it to /onemount/downloads (corresponding to your /mnt/user/downloads under unRAID).
- Modify the fb.sh script (located in the /data/filebot folder). Change the output to /onemount/media (which corresponds to your /mnt/user/media under unRAID).
- /data: Configuration folder
- /downloads: Download folder
- /media: Media folder
- 8080/tcp: Web UI
- 6881/tcp: Incoming torrent connections
- 6881/udp: Incoming torrent connections
Port 8080 is mapped by default for the WEBUI, and ports 6881 (tcp & udp) are used for incoming torrent connections. These port mappings are required when using Docker's network bridge mode.
Important notes:
- If you change these ports in the qBittorrent config (via WEBUI for example), remember to update the corresponding port bindings in your Docker run command or compose file.
- If you're using a dedicated IP or network host mode, you can ignore or omit these port bindings.
