  • If you happen to use gluetun (great project btw) you can use the environment property VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on and a volume mapping to /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port to obtain the port number from the container. Then with the bittorrent-port-forward-file container (Link) you can automatically set the port from the file to qbittorrent.
    I use this with ProtonVPN and it works like a charm.

    Here the relevant parts of my docker compose file:

      gluetun:
        image: qmcgaw/gluetun
        <...>
        volumes:
          <...>
          - ./port-forwarding/forwarded_port:/tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port:rw
        environment:
          # See https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki
          <...>
          - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on
          - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER=protonvpn
    
      qbittorrent-port-forward-file:
        platform: linux/amd64 #needed for raspi
        image: charlocharlie/qbittorrent-port-forward-file                           
        container_name: port-forward-file                                            
        depends_on:
          - qbittorrent
          - gluetun
        restart: unless-stopped
        volumes:
          - ./port-forwarding:/config:ro
        environment:
          - QBT_USERNAME=
          - QBT_PASSWORD=
          - QBT_ADDR=gluetun:9092
          - PORT_FILE=/config/forwarded_port
    

    The file containing the port number sits at ./port-forwarding/forwarded_port on the host (you may need to create the empty file before first usage).

    Traefik. Once you set it up (which granted can take a few hours if you’re new) its as easy as adding 4 lines of code to your compose file to add a new service. I started with NPM but I don’t regret switching to Traefik at all.

    I heard caddy is cool, too.
