I have two containers, qBittorrent and the VPN:

  • VPN is fully tunneled and encrypted.
  • qbt only ever sees the VPN as its network. It is logically isolated from my main gateway.
  • there are healthchecks running, so if the VPN fails qbt enters in a restart loop until the VPN is back to a healthy status.
  • I use private trackers for 99% of my torrents.

You also have to know that these scummy law firms use honey pot attacks, where they advertise themselves as leechers and record your IP if you upload to them. Technically a proxy to another country would just be enough here, but hey, this works too and I sleep better.

Since you use a torrent container and a vpn container I am interested in how you manage to communicate with the torrent container.
Do you utilize the *arr stack? Also with a docker?
If the answer is yes, how did you achieve the communication between the containers?

Reason I am asking is, that I want to connect to my other container but when I bind my container to the service I am unable to let it communicate directly with it.
By that logic, I'd need to access the container through the vpn container, right? (*arr <-> vpn container <-> downloader container)

You have to expose the qbt http port in your VPN container. All API communication (arrs etc) goes through here.

After much thinking I managed it myself and found that out as well. What I also needed was the environment variable FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS so my other containers could connect to the container.
