qBittorrent

This setup uses the container maintained here: binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn

Settings mentioned below should already exist in your inventory/group_vars/all/vpn.yml file

note

After updating the VPN config file, run docker restart qbittorrent

warning

Authentication will be disabled by default for private (RFC1918) IP space:

  • 10.0.0.0/8
  • 172.16.0.0/12
  • 192.168.0.0/16

This is to allow the automatic app bootstrap to work and to reduce complexity of retrieving temporary admin password.

If you wish to have authentication, you can configure this in the WebUI settings of qBittorrent. You will also need to update the download client for qBittorrent in the Sonarr and Radarr apps

If you enabled authentication before running the app bootstrap tasks, they will fail. To resolve, turn off authentication in qBittorrent, then run the bootstrap tasks and then configure the qBittorrent download client username/password in the specific apps
