I made a video on how to solve that issue. ruclips.net/video/GaKxCAJvWsI/видео.html

Yes you can. As long as you share a torrent using this application or Download Station, your files will be available for people to download. Let's say for example, you create a video that you want to share. You can use QBitTorrent to create a torrent and share the Magnet link or the Torrent file to friends and they can download the file(s) that you are sharing from your NAS.

@@techbytetips can you make a guide video, because I can not found menu to create torrent.

Hi @@NTblog, sure! I've added the request to the queue. It will be released soon as it is a very simple request.

@@techbytetips thanks so much <3

The application will not load if the VPN cannot connect properly.

@@techbytetips The VPN shows as connected in the log. I used the binhex image with VPN and it worked fine with the same setup and VPN files.

@@DR_THE_OG Are you using port 8080? I noticed that this specific image doesn't load the interface if you try to use another port.

Hi! Once you know where the file is accessible by the container you just have to put the container path in tools > options > connection > ip filtering.

@@techbytetips Hi Thanks for the reply. I did put if you have ever used qbitttorent under linux there are 2 buttons next to the filter path that loads the file. That is missing from the Linux server container. I put it in the /config folder set the path with and with out the file name still not buttons show up to load the file.

@@midiman5045 I'm sorry, I don't filter IPs. I'm not familiar with it.

Hi, thanks for visiting the channel. The series is on whether I believe that an open source software is a good or useful idea or not and why. If I were to go into the source code and analyze thousands of lines of code, it would not be a single video. This series is just to expose people to different open source applications that are out there and to also serve as feedback to developers creating things.

Is the client Pi already flashed to boot from the network? Can you see it trying?

The credentials.conf just has 2 lines with: 1. VPN username 2. VPN password both in clear text. You can talk to your VPN provider's support team to get the files.

Yes, the files are in your online account. Login and select VPN > Manual Setup > OpenVPN. Copy the credentials for the conf file and select a location and download the UDP config. The certificates are right at the bottom of all the locations under the CA and TLS Certs tab.

@@DR_THE_OG Thanks for helping people out.

Thanks a lot! Hope you continue to find my videos useful.

Thanks. I'll add the request to the queue.

It is recommended that you do. You can do that in the Disk Utility once you boot the installer. If it is not properly formatted, it might not let you choose the disk in the next step.

Each video is about a specific application, if I reference how to setup Prowlarr is because it is too much to repeat in this video. Go, watch the video that I just referenced and you'll be OK. I'm literally giving everything here chewed and nearly digested. Don't be lazy.

@@techbytetips entirely my fault. I just scrolled past it. Thumbs upped the videos. Tbf I'm not wrong, link the video with the information on it. Or at least edit the video to tell people that step is in another video. I thumbs upped the video. Sorry for my missing that video in the playlist.

@@svenstubes Glad you figured it out. Good suggestion. I will add the link in the description.

If you look at the playlist, you'll clearly see that the videos talk about which application is being set up. Don't be lazy. READ.

Video coming up. For now, not using Nginx proxy manager, will look into that later.

@@techbytetips cool!

Awesome! Enjoy it!

Glad you were able to get it working! :)

Some software doesn't like working from an NFS share. If you have something crucial that doesn't like NFS, I would suggest you follow the guide that I set up for using iSCSI instead to boot the pis. I haven't implemented it yet on the PXE server but I plan to. I've just been too busy to work on it yet.

Sorry, I meant to do that and I keep forgetting to use the 1080p monitor when recording. Thanks for pointing it out.

If you put the VPN at the NAS level, then everything is already going through the VPN. But that's not good for Usenet as it will dramatically reduce your download speeds.

It doesn't really matter what you put here. Just make sure that your router allows the port's traffic to go into the IP of the NAS.

@@techbytetips Okay. I just noticed it shows peers, but no seeds for most of the torrents. And some have downloaded a small amount and just stopped connecting. All this port stuff is kinda confusing. Not sure if I need to forward ports through my vpn or not. It only lets me pick from a small list of ports for a open vpn config file.

@@zairman that sounds like the torrents simply have no people sharing the files. If it were not working, it wouldn’t even have downloaded a bit.

@@techbytetips Okay, thanks! I guess I have it working okay then. Now to find a location with good speeds.

1. Stop the running container 2. Download the latest image again 3. Reset the container 4. Restart the container, this time, it will start from the fresh version of the image that you downloaded. Simple actually.

@@techbytetips I don't get the option to restart the container after I have done the reset, it just stays grayed out. So when I click start it just keeps loading the old image. Don't know why this is happening or what I am doing wrong

@@showdown2006 Not sure what could be causing that. I haven't used DSM 7.2 which changed Docker to Container Manager. But it should behave the same. Try restarting the NAS and seeing if that solves the issue.

@@techbytetips I completely started over and installed latest image. Seems to be fine now.

You need to make sure that the PUID PGID in the container is a user with permissions in the Synology platform.

@@techbytetips thanks, I ended up fixing that but now I am having issues with the import step. No matter what I do it keeps saying file under /tv/sonarr doesn't exist or is inaccessible, but that is not the local path I have mapped to, not sure why it keeps looking for that?

@@showdown2006 Check that your mappings inside the applications are correct and that they match the container mappings.

Hi, the logs should tell you where you are connecting and which IP it is receiving. You can always execute into the container and do an IP check in the command line. There is a website that you can CURL that gives you the Public IP that it recognizes... I just don't remember the name of it. curl icanhazip.com

I honestly don't recommend trying to run it in a NAS. This is more thought to be run directly in a VM that you can easily manage. They document that you have to use the gluetun network for all containers and you expose them in the ports that you assign to gluetun itself. It should work if the connection is setup properly and gluetun is exposing the port. You have to connect to gluetun and it will forward the traffic to the proper containers.

@@techbytetips Thanks, I figured out the solution using Portainer. Stop container you want to use with gluetun. Use Duplicate/Edit to find Network Tab. Switch Network to container and pick gluetun in Container. Deploy container. Enjoy!

Hi Vic! I hope that you are doing well. Last time I tried it, it worked fine for me using the new bookworm version of the boot files. I was using a NAS though. It sounds like you are using the local storage in the PXE pi? I've been meaning to release an updated version with additional features but I have not had the chance to sit down and code + test. I will release a video on the update when I get the chance to do it.

@@techbytetips Thanks for the quick response. I am indeed using local storage but to a proxmox VM running ubuntu server 20.04.4 TLS. I'll try my NAS tomorrow and will let you know. Cheers!!

Hi @aghiles2893, if you do that, all of your traffic will go through the VPN. It will slow down Usenet if you are also using it as it will be capped at the VPNs max speed.

Hi @@techbytetips, I see... Thank you!

@@techbytetips but how would you go about accessing public torrents on prowlarr, if you disable the vpn profile for the whole synology nas?

Hi @@cameronherman3380, I set a VPN profile in the NAS just to overcome the issue with the VPN not being able to connect in the docker container due to the /tun/tap error. I made a video on how to fix that later. You don't need to have the whole NAS running the VPN. It is actually bad for you if you are using Usenet as it will limit your download speeds. That's why the VPN is built into the QBitTorrent container. Prowlarr and other apps don't need a VPN. Only the torrent downloader needs to go through the VPN for your protection from ISP snooping and stuff related.

@@techbytetips thanks for the insight there, do you know why they get stalled on qbittorrent? Seems to be intermittent.

Not sure what could be the issue. I don't have any other machine to test but it seems like newer machines have issues following this method and they set up better using the internet for the installation of the OS.

I believe that there was a problem with a provider used by Readarr to find authors and ebooks and it was a matter of waiting for it to get fixed. Mine is working back normally now but I did have that issue some weeks ago.

Make sure that you use the latest version of Readarr too. Their versioning is kind of funky.

Are you on DSM 7.2? I am using DSM 7.1 in my videos. They renamed it Container Manager or something like that and made changes to the UI.
