Arr, my friends. I have an old laptop already running some servoces on docker 24/7 at home and looking to extend it’s functionalities to become torrent downloader with media server for TV. Need VPN for obvious reasons.

I was wondering if there are already all-in-one solutions to just run docler compose file and get 2 containers: one running torrent client with all traffic via VPN in another?

I plan to use Mullvad VPN.

Upd. Updated title to highlight it’s a request. Not sure why getting downvotes, please elaborate :)

    Just google “gluetun + qbittorrent”. There are some examples, but in short you want network_mode: "service:gluetun" and depends_on: -gluetun under qbittorrent so it doesnt have connection if gluetun fails.

    Gluetun supports a lot of providers, documentation is decent and simple.

    But consider airvpn or any other with port forwarding if you want to torrent. Mullvad ditched PF recently 😔

      Thanks for recommendation, didn’t know Mullvad discontinued port forwarding. That was a reason I chose them a year ago.

      Now will tale a look at ProtonVPN and AirVPN as alternatives.

      Your answer is amazing, you covered it all and so concise, that should be on FAQ :)

        Meaning both are possible, but its much better with port forwarding. You cant connect to everyone, but for well seeded torrents it shouldnt be an issue.
