Torrenting behind gluetun on zimaos? (sh.itjust.works)

I've bounced around running my server on many different OS options, I used proxmox with Ubuntu VMs and containers for a long time and did really like it but decided that for my tiny operation basically just trying to run Jellyfin and maybe a few other things like a Minecraft server, a simple one click deployment OS works good enough for me. Most of the time.

I've really been loving ZimaOS, management is so easy when you're only running a couple basic services like I am. But I decided I wanted to set up an arr stack to build up my media library easier and let others request things. I actually had this set up before on proxmox so it's not my first time.

The only problem is I can't for the life of me get qBittorrent to use my gluetun VPN with Mullvad, the fact that I can't directly edit the compose yml is killing me, because the options that I need to change should hypothetically be simple, but they just don't appear to even exist in the ZimaOS app settings gui. Has anyone gotten this to work?

If you can't modify the compose file, you can try editing the container with Portainer. There you can change the network of ~~gluetun~~ qbittorrent to "container" and select gluetun.
That's how I did it when I was running CasaOS.

Btw, I don't remember where, but the compose file do exist somewhere on the system.

Even though I made a mistake. Happy to help!

Using zimaOS, Umbrel, and other "one click install" OSs are very locked down when you need a more "complex" setup.

Hence they appeal to newcomers in the selfhost space. But you'll soon realize that they get in your way.

It's preferable to learn docker, docker compose from scratch if you really like to tinker and just setup a vanilla Debian server with it. That way you will not be tied down when you later want to do more elaborated setups. You will feel rewarded afterwards.

However, it does take time. It's up to you if its worth it.
