How to fix 'unauthorized' webUI error on TrueNAS qbittorrent docker install

In case this is useful for someone in the future.

I couldn't use the trueNAS built app, so instead created a custom app using this docker guide here:

https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-qbittorrent/#webui_port-variable

The following two key points that got this working for me.

Assuming everything is setup correctly, and the logs don't display any errors on startup.

Add the following line to the qBittorrent.conf file:

WebUI\HostHeaderValidation=false

Make sure the docker container has been shutdown before editing qBittorrent.conf. This is because the conf file is written to on shutdown, so any changes made whilst it's still running will be lost otherwise.

Happy days.
