This is how i setup my qbittorent and my gluetun composes. They are both in the same file, together with other services such as the arr suite. To make the arr suite talk with qbit i attached it to the gluetun container. Probably this is unnecessary, but i dont mind it. I still can access the webUIs via 192.168.*.**:1234 so unless it is a problem id like to keep it like this. In the Arr suite settings when it came to download control i had to set 127.0.0.1:8080 as the address of qbit to make it work. If you are wondering why there is a port to firefox, it is because i use it to check my ip and things like that when running behind the VPN. Is this a risk? I dont plan to do anything else apart from that.
One thing i added to basically all gluetun’s composes i found online is “restart: unless-stopped”. Is there a reason why it does not come suggested by default?
I tried to play with Linux ISOs to check that everything was working, and it seemed to be but i dont really have a way to check that my real IP is not being broadcast. On the otherhand thanks to a miscopied WG key i saw that until the container became healthy, all the others werent working. Or at least i couldnt access them.
The only thing missing from having a functioning media server is setting up prowlarr, but before i do it i want to make sure that i did everything right.
Do you see any issues with this setup?
Anything i can improve? Keep in mind that my knowledge is very limited, i cant change router settings so everything i do must be done on the machine and i dont plan to access anything from outside my house.
