OpenVPN and qBittorrent with WebUI

                       DEPRECATION NOTICE
                                            
 Hi, I have deprecated this container in favour of a better 
 one I have developed:
 /~https://github.com/guillaumedsde/alpine-qbittorrent-openvpn
 
 I will not be updating the repository for this container,
 but I will leave the automatic builds enabled during the
 'transition'.
 
 I suggest you switch to the new ones, it has all the same
 features and more, while being smaller and more secure.

This project is forked from haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and is currently being adapted to work with qBittorrent instead of Transmision.

This repository was forked from GitHub, as such, the main repository is on GitHub and a mirror is on gitlab.com mainly for building the documentation in a CI pipeline. The final images are available in the docker hub

Tags

• as small as an ubuntu image can be, with most up to date qbittorrent-nox

Port Status

What is working:

• qBittorrent WebUI
• qBittorrent binds to the VPN IP address, this, plus Haugene's firewall configuration means that no data should leak outside the VPN tunnel

What is not working:

• configuration of qBittorrent from ENV variables
• qBittorrent port forwarding

Quick Start

This container contains OpenVPN and qBittorrent with a configuration where qBittorrent is running only when OpenVPN has an active tunnel. It bundles configuration files for many popular VPN providers to make the setup easier.

$ docker run --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -d \
              -v /your/storage/path/:/data \
              -v /path/to/config/directory:/config \
              -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
              -e CREATE_TUN_DEVICE=true \
              -e OPENVPN_PROVIDER=PIA \
              -e OPENVPN_CONFIG=CA\ Toronto \
              -e OPENVPN_USERNAME=user \
              -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=pass \
              -e WEBPROXY_ENABLED=false \
              -e LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/16 \
              --log-driver json-file \
              --log-opt max-size=10m \
