Hi all, i’m having issues configuring prowlarr to use the qbit torrent downloader. I have everything setup in a docker container as such:

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!

    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.

      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.

      If you want to PM me your docker-compose.yml and Caddyfile I’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.
