qBittorrent will not connect to peers/seeders

[thebozenator]

Hi All,

This problem has been driving me insane the past couple days. I installed the official qBittorrent app but I cannot get it to download anything. This is a fresh TrueNAS SCALE install v22.02.2. Aside from starting the app, all I did was setup the pool, create a dataset, and allow read/write/exec from anywhere on the dataset.

With some trackers I get `host not found (non-authoritative) try again later` error on the tracker. With others, torrents just show up as stalled:

Occasionally it connects to a peer and downloads a couple MB but I suspect something is blocking connections. Settings are below.

"Port used for incoming connections" is the same port that is the same as the TCP port in the config. I think its capable of accessing the mount because it has downloaded a couple MBs.

Can anyone please help me out?

i7-2600K 4 cores

1Gbit Network
22Tb pool

Port Forwarding on the router if your router doesn't support UPnP

Thanks for the followup. UPnP is enabled on the router but there is no config for the server.

I tried manually opening up the ports I configured for the app but it did not help:

That reads like a DNS issue.

Looks like you are right.

I tried `ping <url>` from within the qbittorrent docker and get inconsistent results. google.com works but some websites that work outside the docker failed.

running:
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
within the docker got everything working. I can connect to peers and the `host not found (non-authoritative) try again later` goes away.

what is the correct way to permanently fix this? I tried adding the server to the app config but it didn't work:

I presume this is something with the trueNAS config.

Hi all,

Not sure if this helpes but I found a warning in the qbittorrent pod.

 

[thebozenator]

addressed the network warning by installing calico. Still dont know what to do about the container DNS.

Installed the official plex app and that is able to access the outside world and ping everything. Must be something with qbittorrent

What you wanna do is go to your advanced settings, set your Network interface to eth0 and IP address to the address shown in the list, it should be the bridge IP from docker.

I also encountered the same problem, I wonder if you solved it later

Please correct me if I am wrong but you need Tun0 to use a vpn so if you change it to eth0 your vpn would not work ?

 

[Codysun]

were you able to figure it out ?

Please disable UPnP! it is a massive security hole for any network!

manually set up your port forwards if you need to seed from your device to the public world.

Been struggling with this for hours now, anyone got a solution that works? Running Scale 23.10.1, chart version=1.2.4 and app version=4.6.2

Always better to start your own threads. With that include all of your details, TrueNAS versions, network configs, firewalls et cetera.
