So, I’ve recently started torrenting more, but I wanted to be safe about it, or a safe as can be.

I already have a PIA subscription from like 3 years ago on a Christmas sale.

I would like to continue using Docker, as I have been.

I know there are docker images of qBittorrent with VPN included, but I have PIA set up with the “Gluetun” docker image, so that if I wanted to, I could run other containers through it rather easily.

So, I’m using PIA with Gluetun image, and the standard qBittorrent image that is being funneled through Gluetun. I’m using Portainer and Portainer Stacks to manage my docker environment. I’m also using a PIA server in CA Vancouver, as far as I can tell, that server allows port forwarding as well as seeding.

My problem is I can’t seem to seed anything. Can any of y’all help me get properly set up for seeding as well as torrenting?

If you need any more info or screenshots, let me know!

Also, I am actively looking and researching to try to fix it, but work is a pain right now. I’ll update if I manage to figure it out.

Thank you in advance!

    At this point, I’m not sure of anything! Haha

    I’m doing so much reading from different sources, I’m starting to get everything mixed up now.

    Checking the wiki for Gluetun, I used that exact docker compose that they suggested, but added the port for qBittorrenr, so I can access the webUI. (And also now added the “port forward” variable)

    I’m very lost right now, and unless you’re willing to walk me through it, I think imma start from scratch and hopefully learn something new along the way.

    Thanks so much for helping me so much!
