Hello Tommy. We have received your issue and will try to recreate it shortly. However, has this ever worked for you with one instance of qbt at all?

[tommyatkadx]

I just migrated from v1 to v2. Qbit wasn't configured with v1. So no. Never worked with qbit Le dim. 31 mai 2026, 20 h 59, Juan Manuel Reyes ***@***.***> a écrit :

Hello Tommy. We managed to reproduce this, and the good news is it is a small fix on the config side rather than a bug.

The problem is smart/curly quotes in your config. Somewhere along the way your editor (or mail client) auto-converted the straight " quotes into typographic ones. You can see it in your last attempt, where name: opens with a straight quote but closes with a curly one:

name: "qBittorrentReg”

To YAML that is an unterminated string, so the whole QBITTORRENT value fails to parse. decluttarr then falls back to an empty download-clients list, which is why you get the "there is nothing configured" tip even though your block looks correct. If you scroll up in your startup logs you should also see a line like Failed to parse environment variable QBITTORRENT as YAML - that is the real error behind the tip.

Your third attempt has the right structure. Just retype it with plain straight quotes (do not copy-paste from a formatted source):

    QBITTORRENT: >
      - base_url: "http://10.166.26.90:8080/"
        username: "admin"
        password: "megasecure"
        name: "qBittorrent"
      - base_url: "http://10.166.26.91:8080/"
        username: "admin"
        password: "megasecure"
        name: "qBittorrentReg"

A couple of notes:

• The two earlier attempts also nested things under download_clients: - when you configure via environment variables you set the bare QBITTORRENT variable directly, no download_clients: wrapper. The third format is the correct one.
• The name values must match the download client names in your *arr exactly (qBittorrent and qBittorrentReg).

Give that a try and let us know if the tips clear up. Multiple qbit instances under one QBITTORRENT block is fully supported, so that part was never the issue.
