⁠gluetun-qbittorrent Port Manager

Automatically updates the listening port for qbittorrent to the port forwarded by Gluetun⁠.

⁠Description

Gluetun⁠ has the ability to forward ports for supported VPN providers, but qbittorrent does not have the ability to update its listening port dynamically. Because of this, I wrote this short script available as a docker container which automatically detects changes to the forwarded_port file created by Gluetun⁠ and updates the qbittorrent's listening port.

⁠Setup

First, ensure you are able to successfully connect qbittorrent to the forwarded port manually (can be seen by a green globe at the bottom of the WebUI).

Then add a mounted volume to Gluetun⁠ (e.g. /yourfolder:/tmp/gluetun).

Finally, add the following snippet to your docker-compose.yml, substituting the default values for your own.
