Separate qBittorent admin container?

Is there any way to separate the UI from the actual torrenting?

You mean something like running qbittorrent-nox and connecting to it using web ui?
- Yes! Is that possible?
  
  Yes, you use qBitTorrent-nox with the web UI. It’s built in.
It offers a web UI. Enable it and forward the port. Done.
- That's all bundled in one. What I'm asking about is separating the UI from the client.
You're probably looking for something like Deluge.
I'm not sure if that's what you mean but if you're using docker compose there's a variable called WEBUI_PORT
- That just changes the port of the bundled UI; it doesn't allow you to connect a UI to a separate client.
  
  Do you want to have a single UI for multiple clients?
  
  oops sorry my bad
But why though? You could set up a proxy or something, but I can't imagine why you would do that
- I want to have multiple UIs in front of the same client.
  
  qbitorrent has a webgui built in. You can access it simultaneously from multiple machines over http
Use VPN to tunnel it's built-in UI to some other server
