Request New Features -- Profile location specified parameters program
Because in some router system, only the user's disk partition is readable and writable, in addition to the user partition, all other partitions are read-only partitions. So qBittorrent runs in the router will cause the program to crash.
We hope to specify the path where the custom configuration file when the program starts, so to be able to specify the configuration file readable and writable partition.
Sorry, the above is a machine translation, because my mother tongue is not English, but my English is very bad, if wrong place, please forgive

Workaround for linux/bsd is setting HOME environment variable to a writable directory before starting qbt.
export HOME=/media/usb/

@denisps Thank you for your help solve the problem is through you set HOME directory to resolve, but the personal feeling is set Catalog profile with parameters is better

This should be fixed by the now merged #5214 PR. Said feature will be included in v3.4.0 release.
