Ready to set up qBittorrent on Dokku? Follow these steps, and you'll be up and running in no time! (This article assumes you have dokku and a nas server already up and running.)

Step 1: Create a New App

First, create your new app in Dokku with the following command:

dokku apps:create qbittorrent

Feel free to replace qbittorrent with your preferred app name.

Step 2: Mount a Directory for qBittorrent Configuration

Next, mount a directory for qBittorrent's configuration:

dokku storage:mount qbittorrent /home/dokku/qbittorrent/data:/config

Step 3: Create a Docker Volume

Now, let's create a volume. Run the following command, replacing the placeholders with your specific values:

docker volume create --driver local --opt type=cifs --opt device=//<nas_url_here>/<nas_path> --opt o=username=<your_username>,password=<your_password>,port=<your_port>,uid=1000,gid=1000,forceuid <name_of_the_volume>

Replace <nas_url_here>, <nas_path>, <your_username>, <your_password>, <your_port>, and <name_of_the_volume> with your actual NAS details and desired volume name.

Step 4: Mount the Volume

Mount the newly created volume:

dokku storage:mount qbittorrent <name_of_the_volume>:/downloads

Ensure you replace <name_of_the_volume> with the volume name you used earlier.

Step 5: Set Environment Variables

Configure the environment variables for your app:

dokku config:set qbittorrent PGID=1000 PUID=1000 TZ=Asia/Kolkata WEBUI_PORT=8080

Step 6: Deploy the Docker Image

Initiate the deployment using the docker image:

dokku git:from-image qbittorrent linuxserver/qbittorrent:4.6.0

Step 7: Configure Ports

Set up the port configuration to make your app accessible via Dokku's proxy server:

dokku ports:set qbittorrent http:80:8080

Step 8: Set a Domain

Finally, set a domain for your app:

dokku domains:add qbittorrent <your_domain_here>

Replace <your_domain_here> with your actual domain.

---

And that's it! Your qBittorrent app should now be up and running on Dokku. Happy torrenting!
