I’m trying to get Qbittorrent set up within Docker on my home server and want to configure port forwarding through my VPN for all of those Linux ISOs. Ideally, I also want to get a pipeline going with the *arr stack. I’ve heard the easiest way to do this is with Gluetun but I can’t for the life of me figure it out or know how to test it. Anyone been through something similar?
Here is my current Docker Compose for reference:
services:
gluetun:

container_name: gluetun
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
environment:
- VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=airvpn

- FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=8069
- SERVER_COUNTRIES=United States

Question: Does the green globe icon always indicate that it’s working?
Yes, if a port is set in the port forwarding section for the qbittorrent preferences in the webui (once one is set it stays until changed), the green globe means it’s working.
