# qBittorrent with WebUI and OpenVPN
|
|
Docker container which runs a headless qBittorrent client with WebUI while connecting to OpenVPN.
|
|
|
|
## Run container from Docker registry
|
|
The container is available from the Docker registry and this is the simplest way to get it.
|
|
To run the container use this command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker run --privileged -d \
|
|
-v /your/docker/config/path/:/config \
|
|
-v /your/downloads/path/:/downloads \
|
|
-e "OPENVPN_USERNAME=user" \
|
|
-e "OPENVPN_PASSWORD=pass" \
|
|
-e PUID=<uid for user> \
|
|
-e PGID=<gid for user> \
|
|
-p 8080:8080 \
|
|
markusmcnugen/qbittorrentvpn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You must set the environment variables `OPENVPN_USERNAME` and `OPENVPN_PASSWORD` to provide basic connection details.
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the container also expects a downloads volume to be mounted.
|
|
This is where qBittorrent will store your downloads, incomplete downloads and look for a watch directory for new .torrent files.
|
|
|
|
### Required environment options
|
|
| Variable | Function | Example |
|
|
|----------|----------|-------|
|
|
|`OPENVPN_USERNAME`|Your OpenVPN username |`OPENVPN_USERNAME=asdf`|
|
|
|`OPENVPN_PASSWORD`|Your OpenVPN password |`OPENVPN_PASSWORD=asdf`|
|
|
|`PUID`|UID applied to config files |`OPENVPN_PASSWORD=asdf`|
|
|
|`PGID`|GID applied to config files |`OPENVPN_PASSWORD=asdf`|
|
|
|
|
### Access the WebUI
|
|
But what's going on? My http://IPADDRESS:8080 isn't responding?
|
|
This is because the VPN is active, and since docker is running in a different ip range than your client the response
|
|
to your request will be treated as "non-local" traffic and therefore be routed out through the VPN interface.
|
|
|
|
### Known issues
|
|
Some have encountered problems with DNS resolving inside the docker container.
|
|
This causes trouble because OpenVPN will not be able to resolve the host to connect to.
|
|
If you have this problem use dockers --dns flag to override the resolv.conf of the container.
|
|
For example use googles dns servers by adding --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4 as parameters to the usual run command.
|
|
|
|
If you are having issues with this container please submit an issue on GitHub.
|
|
Please provide logs, docker version and other information that can simplify reproducing the issue.
|
|
Using the latest stable verison of Docker is always recommended. Support for older version is on a best-effort basis.
|
|
|
|
## Building the container yourself
|
|
To build this container, clone the repository and cd into it.
|
|
|
|
### Build it:
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /repo/location/qbittorrentvpn
|
|
$ docker build -t qbittorrentvpn .
|
|
```
|
|
### Run it:
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker run --privileged -d \
|
|
-v /your/docker/config/path/:/config \
|
|
-v /your/downloads/path/:/downloads \
|
|
-e "OPENVPN_USERNAME=user" \
|
|
-e "OPENVPN_PASSWORD=pass" \
|
|
-e PUID=<uid for user> \
|
|
-e PGID=<gid for user> \
|
|
-p 8080:8080 \
|
|
qbittorrentvpn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start a container as described in the "Run container from Docker registry" section.
