## What is qBittorrent?
|
|
|
|
`qBittorrent` is a awesome, simple app that allows you to use classic QBittorrent in a docker
|
|
container. I use QBittorrent because I can set it up with a VPN that only
|
|
connects via the container directly. Effectively separating it from the rest of
|
|
my network and allowing me to continue as normal while it is downloading. It
|
|
will automatically stop the network if the VPN is not functioning correctly.
|
|
|
|
## Docker Compose Example
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
{{<include "/srv/configs/docker_compose/qbittorrentvpn/docker-compose.yaml">}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To set up the VPN you will need to have an existing account with a VPN service.
|
|
Username & Password for the vpn will be provided as a key by your vpn service.
|
|
In my case I use Surfshark and have to go log into my account, navigate to the
|
|
linux setup page and grab my generated Username key and Password key there.
|
|
|
|
A credentials file on my docker host was generated by QBittorrent when running
|
|
the first time.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
## download all availble server conf
|
|
sudo wget https://my.surfshark.com/vpn/api/v1/server/configurations
|
|
|
|
## cp the server you want to use into config folder
|
|
/app/QBittorrent/config/openvpn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you restart your qbittorrentvpn docker container you can test your vpn
|
|
service with a torrent leak test. Use the + add torrent link button to Download
|
|
the torrent and test that your VPN service is connected and working.

### Magnet links
|
|
|
|
Use magnet link and item hash to avoid logins
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:${HASH}
|
|
```
