# Configure qBittorrent on Dokku and Mount SMB NAS for Download Storage

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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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:

```bash
dokku ports:set qbittorrent http:80:8080
```

#### Step 8: Set a Domain

Finally, set a domain for your app:

```bash
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!
