did you define that nas folder as /media inside container ?
Thank you for this guide!
As is now possible to directly use yaml in EE without dockge, is it possible to configure app from official catalog to use gluetun?
For example, I have gluetun configured with the compose.yaml provided here running on my truenas server and qbitorrent installed fro the catalog. Is it a way to change the qbitorrent configuration to route the connection by gluetun?

As far as I can tell, no. Doing this in a regular docker-compose.yml file requires a line like ānetwork_mode: container:gluetunā, but there doesnāt seem to be a way to add this with the apps in the official catalog. It probably wouldnāt be that hard to add, but it hasnāt been done for some reason.
For now, Iām just installing gluetun and qbit using the custom docker-compose functionality in EE, and it mostly works well, except it doesnāt start up correctly on reboot and I have to manually restart the containers in sequence. I tried using dockge before, and it worked just as well, but no better because it didnāt restart the containers at all on reboot.

I have tried to add ānetwork_mode: container:gluetunā in yml files of the official qbittorrent app but it doesnāt work.
So for the time being, I too am using the custom docker-compose functionality
As others have already noted, you canāt link to other docker networks using the offical TrueNAS apps, you must use a custom yaml deployment to access these options. There is a github issue open to allow direct binding to a specific IP address configured on the TrueNAS system where I commented that in addtion to that it would be nice to allow the network_mode options for just these situations.

568:568 belongs to user āappsā if i remember correctly, give permissions in datasets perhaps ?
Thanks for the guide! It works perfect for me. If you are like me and have a WireGuard wg.conf file to set up your VPN, Gluetun supports this. You just have to mount it in the right place, as described in gluetun docs (look for wireguard for custom vpn provider).
thanks for guide, i got the app working and tested for the ipleak, it is running with Wireguard and AirVPN. for some reason i am not able to download any files. all my downloads are failing with Status āErroredā.

this is resolved, turns out to be an issue with the volume path for /media

@jagadeeps What did you put as your mount path for the media? I have container set to ā/mnt/Plugins/Media/mediaā and qbit downloads to ā/media/downloads.ā So far all of mine get the same error as you were before and know that it is my path, but not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks!
here are my storage paths.
I forgot that the ā:ā was needed, but I got it now. Thanks!
Iām having a user permission issue, Iām not sure how to fix it, in the qbitorrent file permissions.
I get this error:
error: Permission denied
In my compose file Iāve got my env set properly and the file location (as far as I can tell):
environment:
- PUID=568
- PGID=568
# edited out others
volumes:
- /mnt/.ix-apps/app_config/qbittorrent:/config
- /mnt/DataStore/share/media/downloads:/media
Iāve validated that I can see the files when I get a shell in the container and navigate to /media.
Checking the user inside the container, I can see that the user and the permissions on /media match:
root@4fa4d9721e21:/# ps -aux | grep /usr/bin/qbit
abc 145 0.6 0.0 72372 39060 ? Ssl 10:57 0:04 /usr/bin/qbittorrent-nox --webui-port=8080 --torrenting-port=6881
root@4fa4d9721e21:/# ls -l | grep media
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 abc abc 3 Mar 16 10:45 media
When I look at my dataset (media/) the permissions seem to be set properly:
Owner: apps
Group: apps
Iām really not sure what else I can do to troubleshoot. Has anyone any ideas?
Ah, I figured out the issue. Iām an idiot.
Default download location in qbitorrent was /downloads and Iād mounted it as /media. Changing it to the correct default location did the trick.
If anyone wants to steal my config, hereās my protonvpn-based compose files.
I also added a Web UI button on qbittorrent (weirdly, youāll get unauthorized unless you click the URL bar and hit enter, refresh doesnāt work).
qbittorrent:
services:
qbittorrent:
container_name: qbittorrent
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- PUID=568
- PGID=568
- TZ=<TZ HERE>
- WEBUI_PORT=8080

This eventually got me to the finish line. I found some other similar write-ups, but this one finally got all the pieces fitted correctly.
This guide really helped me. I have a bit of an issue though. Iāve got qbittorrent setup and running, however Iām unable to change any of the settings in the web ui. I would like to set a username and password and change the amount of active torrents allowed. The settings are not saving and just return to default when I close the options menu.
Is there a way the settings can be changed?
Thanks again for this guide. Appreciate it.
I fixed my issue.
Turns out the most recent version of qbittorrent is little bit broken. At least at the time of this post.
I went to Releases Ā· linuxserver/docker-qbittorrent Ā· GitHub to pick a new version.
I changed the image to one from a few months ago and now it works just fine
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:5.0.4-r0-ls384
I can now change all the settings in the webui and they save as they should.
ive got everything up but for some reason its randomly assigning me a vpn server even though in protonvpnās website i set my server location to norway and copied the wireguard info it provided into the gluetun compose.yaml.
each time i restart the vpn compose in dockge, i get a new ip/serverā¦ which is fine in a way but i want the server i chose.
i found āservers.jsonā in the directory gluetun made and it has some list of wireguard servers, not sure if related to my issue. deleting the file didnt help.
edit: tried the yaml files from the user a few posts above but it didnt help my issue.
This is probably the best, and simplest guide but still too intimidating for me 
- I use portainers (no explicit docker compose etc) that comes with truenas scale, canāt figure out how that fits.
- do I just install qbitorrent package and gluetun packages, and then somewhere is an option to add the config provided?
I only know how to do this with ādockgeā, which is an app available on TrueNAS Scale. Install it and in there you will add the gluetun configuration files as explained above. The gluetun configuration file will tell dockge to install openvpn or wireguard, depending on your configuration and the qbittorrent configuration file will install qbittorrent. I know this looks like magic, but what is happening is that dockge knows how to install applications, but it needs a little help knowing where to install the application and what settings to apply. That is the information we provide in the configuration file.
Do not install qbittorrent using the TrueNAS provided app as dockge will take care of this for you.
