qBittorrent user/pass in environment variables

[siffreinsg]

Hi,
Is it possible to use environment variables for qBittorrent username and password settings ? I would like to use a Git repository to backup and share my configuration but it contains sensitive props. I've looked over the wiki and issues but could not find a solution.
Thanks,
Siffrein

Did you ever make it work?

the wiki notes what env vars are supported - https://github.com/StuffAnThings/qbit_manage/wiki/Docker-Installation

As mentioned before by @bakerboy448, no environment variables are available for authentification.

I have worked around this by enabling "Bypass authentification for clients in whitelisted IP subnets" in "Web UI" settings. I looked in qBittorrent logs to find the appropriate IP address qbm was using.

This solution works great on my part but I would still prefer env variables for my use case.
