Arr, my friends. I have an old laptop already running some servoces on docker 24/7 at home and looking to extend it’s functionalities to become torrent downloader with media server for TV. Need VPN for obvious reasons.
I was wondering if there are already all-in-one solutions to just run docler compose file and get 2 containers: one running torrent client with all traffic via VPN in another?
I plan to use Mullvad VPN.
Upd. Updated title to highlight it’s a request. Not sure why getting downvotes, please elaborate :)
My (almost finished) script creates a setup like this. It doesn’t just do a client + VPN, but it can also set up radarr, sonarr, jellyfin, and a couple of other services

Trash guides say you shouldn’t run the *arr’s through a VPN because you’re likely to get blocked by metadata servers. I only run my download client through the VPN + also use gluetun’s HTTP proxy for Prowlarr’s indexers
I wish I could do that as well, but most of the big public trackers are blocked where I live. I need to run Sonarr and the like through the VPN because I can’t search through the trackers otherwise
I haven’t heard of prowlarr’s HTTP proxy. Do you have a link to more info about it?
This is a great work! Documentation is clear to a person not familiar with the topic (me). Will try that out and provide feedback, thank you!
I’m currently in the process of a complete rewrite. Once the v2 tag is out I can actually go into deeper feedback :)
