I can open localhost:4666 in firefox and see the qbit web interface. When i go to the prowlarr interface and try to connect to it the field for the adress goes red and says: unable eto connect tot qBittorrent. The logs say:

I’ve tried looking for help online but i haven’t found much so some help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
You must log in or register to comment.
Try with the local network IP of the host PC/VM instead (192.168.x.x), you have to use that for most applications. Remember that localhost/127.0.0.1 means something different inside a Docker container than it does outside it…
What’s the use case to adding qbittorrent to prowlarr?
Usecase is adding indexers to prowlarr and then prowlarr can grab a torrent/usenet and add it to qbittorrent. But real benefit is having sonarr/radarr look for new shows/movies the way you told them and grab torrents -> rename -> place in library -> enjoy amazing jellyfin/plex. Holly automation of home media, amazing experience. Just look at OPs compose file, its all you need. I would just consider one more container, gluetun to hide everything behind VPN (if you are paying for one)
I was just starting to fiddle with the Starr programs so i didn’t realize that the proper way to use it is to sync the torrent clients directly to sonarr and radarr. The issue happened on those programs all the same though. (fixed it already though)
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:
Fewer Letters More Letters IP Internet Protocol SSL Secure Sockets Layer, for transparent encryption VPN Virtual Private Network
3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 13 acronyms.

I recommend adding
hostname: app-namelines for each container then you can just use the hostname and the native port (even if you don’t pass it through with aport:line).It’s super useful if you want to expose any apps with a reverse proxy like Caddy. That way the ONLY way to access an apps web interface is via the reverse proxy. Then look at filter rules to deny access unless the client has a LAN IP.
Poof, you’ve got SSL and custom subdomains for all your apps, but still only on your LAN or personal VPN (like Wireguard or Tailscale).
Thats good!! i’m now looking at how to set up caddy to do exactly just just that, then i’ll look at the vpns for outside connections. Thanks gor the advice!
When you figure out how to set up Caddy, please send me a PM… I’ve tried and given up, but probably managed to misconfigure or misunderstand something.
For outside access I use Ngrok so I don’t have to bother with router settings. Probably isn’t recommended, but it was easy to set up and has worked flawlessly for me for years.
If you want to PM me your
docker-compose.ymlandCaddyfileI’m more than happy to take a look at them for you. I’ve been using Caddy as my rev-proxy for 10+ app stacks for a few years now.I got it to run, its fairly simple but i am having issues integrating it into the docker compose as it just… stops working… i’ll be looking into it today and tomorrow and if i succeed i’ll report back to you with findings.
I’ve previously had issues with timezones, and yours are all over the shop.
yeah, that and other stuff its very hacky. I’ve now done a .env file to keep everything parametrized.
I think I ended up putting localhost in the *rr web page to connect to qbittorrent.
