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?

Gluetun and mullvad works for sure but, yes, you do need to modify some settings in the compose file. At least I did to get it work.

Yes my gluetun container is working properly, I just can't figure out how to edit the compose for the qbittorrent file to work behind gluetun. I've even exported a working qbittorrent app, uninstalled it, edited and uploaded a new compose file as a custom app but that doesn't seem to work for me.

This is a docker compose that I know works for qbittorrent behind gluetun.

I wonder if you are missing the "network_mode: service:gluetun" part?

 qbittorrent:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: qbittorrent2
    network_mode: service:gluetun
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - WEBUI_PORT=9090
      - TORRENTING_PORT=6882
    volumes:
      - /path/to/qbittorrent/appdata:/config
      - /mnt/JellyFinContent/Data/torrents:/data/torrents #optional
# ports:
# - 9090:9090
# - 6882:6882
# - 6882:6882/udp
    depends_on:
      gluetun:
        condition: service_healthy
    restart: unless-stopped

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.

THIS is what worked you are the goat thank you

[–] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

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.

ZimaOS was a love/hate relationship for me. I setup a i7-7700K, 32GB DDR4, dualc10Gb SFP+, 24-bay SAS with x2 LSI 9300-16i raid cards.. Technically that's only 12 PCIe lanes (8 for x2 cards and 4 for NVMe's) but ZimaOS, even after paying for the premium upgrade (< 4 drives supported), couldn't handle large quantity disks with large capacity.. I had 10x 8TB drives and 8x 16TB drives, each in raid5 with a hot spare, and Zima would constantly become unresponsive with <50TB of data.

Idk if it was a power issue (850w PSU), raid card, or the OS, but I found myself struggling to keep it usable. I had attempted the arrs stacks but ran into issues. Idk if it was corrupted eventually, but I went back to my old server shell until I can resolve it and make it stable. Lemme tell you, moving 50TB+ across 2x 1GbE is excruciatingly slow... I was so thrilled to be on 10Gb for the short time 😢
