[Docker](http://www.docker.io) is an open-source project to easily create lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers from any application. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop can run at scale, in production, on VMs, bare metal, OpenStack clusters, public clouds and more.
VPN and Qbittorrent containers
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a docker-compose file with 2 containers, one is a ubuntu container with the Nordvpn VPN on it and the other is a Qbittorrent container. My goal is to use the Qbittorrent container with the VPNcontainer for privacy, but i have a problem. When i activate the VPN on the Nordvpn container, i cannot access the Qbittorrent container with the localhost:8080 url. I tried different methods, but nothing worked for me. I am seeking for help from the community. Any idea will be very appreciated. Here's my docker-compose file.
version: "2"
services:
nordvpn:
image: ubuntu
container_name: nordvpn_test
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
devices:
- "/dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun"
privileged: true
tty: true
ports:
# QBT UI Port
- "0.0.0.0:8080:8080/tcp"
# Bittorrent port
- 6881:6881
- 6881:6881/udp
command: /bin/bash
restart: unless-stopped
qbittorrent:
image: linuxserver/qbittorrent
container_name: qbittorrent_test
environment:
- PUID=1003
- PGID=1004
#- TZ=America/New_York
#- UMASK_SET=022
#- WEBUI_PORT=8080
volumes:
- /media/dockerdata/qbt/config:/config
- /media/jellyfin/downloads
- /media/jellyfin/movies
- /media/jellyfin/shows
network_mode: service:nordvpn
restart: unless-stopped
add
ports: []
to the qbitorrernt service and see if that works.
Also try changing
# QBT UI Port - "0.0.0.0:8080:8080/tcp"
to
- "8080:8080"
Also, gluetun container supports NordVPN and works well, if you want a VPN container already setup.
I second this. I recently discovered Gluetun and it's great. Their documentation and guides on their git is better than great.
thanks for your advice! Gluetun worked immediately. Here's my docker-compose file for someone whith the same problem.
version: "3"
services:
gluetun:
image: qmcgaw/gluetun
container_name: gluetun
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
environment:
- VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=nordvpn
- OPENVPN_USER=user
- OPENVPN_PASSWORD=password
- SERVER_REGIONS=Netherlands
ports:
- 8080:8080/tcp
- 9117:9117/tcp
- 7878:7878/tcp
network_mode: bridge
qbittorrent:
image: linuxserver/qbittorrent
container_name: qbittorrent
network_mode: service:gluetun
restart: unless-stopped
radarr:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
container_name: radarr
network_mode: service:gluetun
restart: unless-stopped
jackett:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jackett:latest
container_name: jackett
network_mode: service:gluetun
restart: unless-stopped
I went with the qbittorrentvpn container.
