Enabling Optional Services

This stack uses Docker Compose profiles to manage optional services. You can enable them by modifying the COMPOSE_PROFILES variable in your .env file.

Gluetun (VPN) & qBittorrent Integration:

1. Change COMPOSE_PROFILES=novpn to COMPOSE_PROFILES=vpn in your .env file.
2. Fill in the VPN variables in your .env file based on your provider (e.g., NordVPN, ProtonVPN, Mullvad, ExpressVPN). You can find the exact variables needed for your provider in the Gluetun Wiki.
3. Run docker-compose up -d to apply the changes. (Note: When using the VPN profile, qBittorrent's traffic is automatically routed through Gluetun, and other services will communicate with it seamlessly).

qBittorrent WebUI

• Access the WebUI at http://localhost:<QBITTORRENT_WEBUI_PORT> (default http://localhost:8080).
• The default username remains admin.
• Set QBITTORRENT_WEBUI_PASSWORD in .env to define the WebUI password used on container startup.
• Leave QBITTORRENT_WEBUI_PASSWORD empty if you want qBittorrent to keep generating a temporary admin password in the container logs.
• If you change the password in the WebUI itself, the value from .env will be applied again on the next container restart.

Requestrr (Discord Bot):

1. Add discord to your COMPOSE_PROFILES (e.g., COMPOSE_PROFILES=novpn,discord or COMPOSE_PROFILES=vpn,discord).
2. Run docker-compose up -d to apply the changes.
3. Configure the bot via its web interface at http://localhost:4545.
