edit: a working solution is proposed by @[email protected] below:
So you’re trying to get 2 instances of qbt behind the same Gluetun vpn container?
I don’t use Qbt but I certainly have done in the past. Am I correct in remembering that in the gui you can change the port?
If so, maybe what you could do is set up your stack with 1 instance in, go into the GUI and change the port on the service to 8000 or 8081 or whatever.
Map that port in your Gluetun config and leave the default port open for QBT, and add a second instance to the stack with a different name and addresses for the config files.
Restart the stack and have 2 instances.
Has anyone run into issues with docker port collisions when trying to run images behind a bridge network (i think I got those terms right?)?
I’m trying to run the arr stack behind a VPN container (gluetun for those familiar), and I would really like to duplicate a container image within the stack (e.g. a separate download client for different types of downloads). As soon as I set the network_mode to ‘service’ or ‘container’, i lose the ability to set the public/internal port of the service, which means any image that doesn’t allow setting ports from an environment variable is stuck with whatever the default port is within the application.
Here’s an example .yml:
services:
gluetun:
image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
container_name: gluetun
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
environment:
- VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=mullvad
- VPN_TYPE=[redacted]
- WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=[redacted]
- WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=[redacted]
- SERVER_COUNTRIES=[redacted]
ports:
- "8080:8080" #qbittorrent
- "6881:6881"
- "6881:6881/udp"
- "9696:9696" # Prowlarr
- "7878:7878" # Radar
- "8686:8686" # Lidarr
- "8989:8989" # Sonarr
restart: always
qbittorrent:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
container_name: "qbittorrent"
network_mode: "service:gluetun"
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=CST/CDT
- WEBUI_PORT=8080
volumes:
- /docker/appdata/qbittorrent:/config
- /media/nas_share/data:/data)
Declaring ports in the qbittorrent service raises an error saying you cannot set ports when using the service network mode. Linuxserver.io has a WEBUI_PORT environment variable, but using it without also setting the service ports breaks it (their documentation says this is due to CSRF issues and port mapping, but then why even include it as a variable?)
The only workaround i can think of is doing a local build of the image that needs duplication to allow ports to be configured from the e variables, OR run duplicate gluetun containers for each client which seems dumb and not at all worthwhile.
Has anyone dealt with this before?
That’s really weird, I’m using the same image to run two instances of qbit behind gluetun without any issues whatsoever.
Can I ask what your compose file looks like? Or how you deployed?
Yeah i pretty much stole this from someone else, although it only used a single torrent client so i just added another that looked the same. i’m not very skilled in docker, so some things may not be best practice (or even correct)

No they’re in the same compose file, I just left other parts out because it’s fairly long for a post.
I might need to try this… I wonder if it makes a difference that the gluetun service is listed last. I noticed that trying to start the containers in the wrong order results in port collision errors, maybe this is why it works for you?
IDK, it’s worth a try to rearrange the containers I would say.
I think this has nothing to do with who is listed first/last !
As you can see in this docker-compose, they are on 2 different web-ui ports, avoiding conflicts !
Yup, I was only pointing out that i was having trouble doing the same thing in my docker compose (using the webui_port env variable did not avoid port collisions at deployment)
I haven’t tried this particular compose outline though. It could also be the pirate_network they’re initiating or the depends_on variables they’re using, I just haven’t played around with it yet.
