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 :)
If you want to use transmission as your torrent client I recommend checking out https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn . There are some additional configuration changes needed for mullvad but it should be straightforward.
Don‘t use two images, just use qbittorrentvpn
Use gluetun, look up how to configure for your provider. Run a 2nd container for your torrent client, using
network_mode: “service:gluetun”to run all your traffic though the vpn. Note that if you’re forwarding ports from your client to e.g. access the web UI, you’ll need to forward them from the gluetun container instead.
