I’m trying to get Qbittorrent set up within Docker on my home server and want to configure port forwarding through my VPN for all of those Linux ISOs. Ideally, I also want to get a pipeline going with the *arr stack. I’ve heard the easiest way to do this is with Gluetun but I can’t for the life of me figure it out or know how to test it. Anyone been through something similar?

Here is my current Docker Compose for reference:


services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
    container_name: gluetun
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=airvpn
      - VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY="[redacted]"
      - WIREGUARD_PRESHARED_KEY="[redacted]
      - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=10.131.184.14/32
      - FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=8069
      - SERVER_COUNTRIES=United States
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
    volumes:
      - /home/fenndev/.config/gluetun:/config
    ports:
      - 9091:9091  # WebUI
     - 6881:6881
      - 6881:6881/udp
    restart: unless-stopped

qbit:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: qbit
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/Los_Angeles  # Timezone set to Los A>
      - WEBUI_PORT=9091  # Qbittorrent webUI port
    volumes:
      - /home/fenndev/.config/qbit:/config  # Configura>
      - /home/fenndev/torrents:/downloads  # Torrent da>
    depends_on:
      glueten:
        condition: service_healthy

    Honestly, not sure. What you did looks close to what I’d expect reading the airvpn doc.

    1. Is port 6881 something unrelated? I think only local ports go there (e.g. your webui)

    2. obviously make sure you set the forwarded port in qbittorrent, then maybe try some external tool like ipleak.net which can give you a magnet link you can put in qbittorrent to see the reported geo location. Not sure if that perfectly vets the port you intend to use, though.

    3. glueten->gluetun in depends_on

    If you attach to your docker as you launch, you might see some helpful output from either qbittorrent or gluetun (I think the “-it” flags
