I find it a little bit annoying that I have to re-login everytime minutes after I closed web UI.

I know you can manually whitelist my IP address, but for someone that has no fixed IP that seems dangerous.

Some sort of key exchange (built into the local system cookie?) would be better than whitelisting an IP.

The session timeout is configurable in the WebUI settings.

@Piccirello Can we set it to a day, week, month?
For me setting that parameter just didn't work, it returned to it's default 3600 value.

You can set it to any of those values, you just have to convert to the appropriate number of seconds. qBittorrent does not enforce a max value so any valid integer is allowed.

Are you on v5.1.1? There's currently a bug that prevents saving qBittorrent settings. Downgrading to v5.1.0 should fix it.

@Piccirello, most likely, yes. Watchtower pulls the latest image regularly.

Will check that later then, thanks.
