Couple of points that held me up, super simple but due to being a pleb at TrueNAS took me a while to figure out. First to add your local user to the apps group you need to goto groups and then toggle on the default groups by clicking the top right gear, I could not find the apps group but this made it possible to find and add the user. Second, I kept getting "Unauthorized" when I would deploy the app...its a browser security issue, just clik on the URL bar and hit enter. I figure I am not the only one to stumble with these points and wanted to share. Love your series btw...I am really enjoying the process of cleaning up my Homelab by using a hypervisor in my NAS....only one box to manage now, was three (media storage/ubuntu server for docker containers/windows machine for torrents with VPN)
Thank you. I've been meaning to do this for so long now and tbh this made everything very simple. I watched both your videos about QBittorrent. Cheers!
hey man, thanks for this video. I am new to all this docker/container stuff. Ive been using TrueNAS core for a few years, but just upgraded to TrueNAS scale, and its a whole new world. Been trying to figure out how to setup my apps to use my PIA account, but there is so much conflicting info out there about how to set it all up properly. I tried a few different methods, but they all either didn't work for me or were overly complicated. But your method, however, is so simple, i didnt even realize it could be that easy. Thanks again! P.S... LETS GO BLUES!!!
I get you. I always hated the overly complicated explanations. You know a little less talk and a lot more action.
LGB!!!!!
Was looking for a guide everywhere to do this :). Thanks man :).
Gotta love RUclips ! Your video is exactly the information I was looking for ... Cheers mate 👍
Everyone who is getting stuck with deploying or the app not starting you may need to disable "Enable Host path safety checks" its under the settings via application. It just removes the check when SMB shares are on for that dataset.
You are a god, and I love you. I don't care who knows it! I have been stuck for weeks.
@@AlexandertheGreat330 where did you find this setting at? i cant find it
@@zackwalker6397 To disable it uncheck the following option: Apps -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Enable Host Path Safety Checks
Thank you for sharing
Or set it up with an NFS share instead.
I am an absolute noob and i have been trying to do this for months, thank you so much
Thank you so much for making this video I have been pulling my hair out for 6 + hours just trying to make this work. Also For anyone who cannot find the plugin, you have to add the TrueCharts catalog to get the container with vpn settings setup in it.
I Can't get this to work. there is no vpn section and I have the TureCharts Catalog installed!
That worked!! You are the best!!
Amazing tutorial, intstantly subscribed!
Mate your a Legend :) I'm redoing my server here at home and your videos I mean there like a bible for truenas server setup thanks again now onto the next video for sonar setup :)
Super helpful man. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Excellent video ! Easy to learn and deploy work with NordVpn and many other services , Thanks man !
Glad you liked it!
Cheers!
Thank you, glad to see same content here!
Cheers
Thank You very much. Works.
The interface is a bit different with the current version of TrueNAS Scale (at least on my end), but this was still extremely helpful. Thank you!
Yeah this all aged really quickly.
Good to hear, and yeah this thing is growing up quick.
Thanks for this!
Thanks for the video, didnt realize it was this easy
NP
Cheers
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.
Cheers!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial
No problem, cheers
Great videos, hope all is well and you start creating content again!
Cheers
Thank you for making this video, you're like my dad if he knew how to use a computer :)
Your dad must be a pretty cool cat.
Just as an FYI, I was getting the errored status when doing a test torrent. I had the downloads folder set as a subfolder of one of my shares (/PlexServer/PlexMedia). The solution that worked for me was changing both the Host Path in the app settings on TrueNAS Core, as well as the default downlads path to just be the main share (/PlexServer). Not my ideal place for downloads but hey, it works now.
Thanks so much for this comment, I have been trying to figure out the same problem all day and BOOM changed my host path to (/Media) and worked great!!😃😃😃😃😃
This was a great video and I used it back when it came out. However, TrueCharts is no longer providing applications to TrueNAS Scale. Do you have/can you please make a tutorial to show how to add a VPN to TrueNAS's version of qbit?
I noticed that you referred to Netdata in several of your videos. Can you do a video on the netdata setup? Also, a video on Truenas Scale on how to enable a video card for transcoding (Plex) videos?
It don't look like they let you setup a VPN on the app Config page anymore!
Would this work for say Express VPN even though its not in the truenas selected list?
Your videos are excellent!
Could you do one on NextCloud and/or Gitea?
Great suggestion!
Cheers!
Hey Lo-Res been following along with you on setting Truenas Scale which have been great and easy to follow, but I can't get my head around setting the SSL certificates for the truenas home site and the apps. Any chance you can do a video about this?
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it also. Once I get it worked out I will post a video.
Cheers
How do you set this up on Truenas Core?
thank you. only thing i did different was when adding the file from nordvpn i didnt have to change it to .conf i left it as .ovpn
Thanks for sharing. Cheers
@Viper809 i use nordvpn as well, what speeds are you getting after doing this?
@@apks9474 on New York server 1mb/s but after switching to another like 2.2mb/s. Sucks because I was getting like 20mb/s threw desktop.
I tried this with PIA but don't have an account and don't want to sign up for another one. Any plans to do a series on Tailscale? I am using it and works great but can't quite get it working with qbittorrent. Thanks for the great videos
The latest truenas says openvpn is deprecated, have you tried tailscale ? how would you know the ip, it doesn't seem to make an adapter because you have to use the userspace driver, unless there's someway to allow docker containers to make run devices? Also - the default password is not admin / adminadmin. In the new versions you have to look at the container log for a line which mentions a temporary password, I tried with Tailscale, it shows as connected but I've no idea if I should add routes or anything or how to tell if traffic is being routed over tailscale.
In the newer version the vpn config is nolonger in this location ?
Can you do a video on how to do this with the official TrueNAS version of the app now that TrueCharts is going away?
How is the Bitwarden Project going? §8-)
Can't wait for it. Happy weekend.
haven't had a change to play with it yet.
Should I do this or just setup wireguard with NordVPN?
I know this video is a little old but I can't solve this. I followed the tuts and had this working but now it stopped and I don't think I changed anything. I seem to be able to get the VPN connected as long as I turn off the killswitch. The actual log for qbittorrent says the ip address isn't available. It is the default one and I can't get into the app to change it because it won't deploy. Thoughts?
After the last update of the truecharts repo (that need a a completely reinstall of the containers) I’m not able to have the vpn working anymore. Anyone else?
Any idea why I am getting the error: unable to upgrade connection: container not found ("openvpn")?
TrueNAS-13 doesnt have the option to add a addon to a jail or plugin. Does anyone know where that was moved to/replaced by?
hi , is there a way to do it on Truenas Core ? I have PIA also and i need to do it . Thank you
at 11:20 where you show where to find the 2nd ip thing. the thing you show says 172.16... but in qbittorrent settings you typed 172.168... (11:04)
I did everything you did, and im getting a permission problem when downloading a torr, any ideas? i tried repeating the process and get the same
Edit: Never mind, problem was i had the Qbit installed to Drive1 and the data on Drive2, made them both on Drive1 and it works.
Was following along with deluge instead of qbittorrent and they seem to not be able to select the Network Interface like in QBittorrent, is there an equivalent?
Soory I have never used deluge.
Hold up, I watched all your videos, and now suddenly there's an Apps dataset that the video starts right off with and some wg-easy dataset under it. I know nothing about how to set up because every time I try to do these steps, it drops me into the ACL page and I have no idea what to set or anything. And it fails when I just try because it wants some group from Bulk to have exec permissions to make the dataset.
Anyone point me in the right direction?
11:48. Does/did anyone else have issues with folders with spaces and not having it work? i'm baffled and the only thing i have different is spaces in the folders/sub folders to where my vpn file is.
Hi,
Thank you for the clear tutorial, but I am running in to some issues. I try to install Qbittorrent stable, but is deploying for a long time. I have wanted for half an hour and tried to restart the service, have deleted it and install again and even restarted Truenas. But nothing changes with this issue. I have taken all the steps as in the tutorial off course.
So now I have installed the community version and I can open the Web Portal and get in to Qbittorrent in the browser, but every time when I want to download something I get an error after a couple of seconds. I have changed the default safe path to my shared folder and followed every step as I said before, but did not change anything.
I think it has something to do with the permissions, but I am not sure. I have tried to change that as well, but still getting an error.
I hope someone can help me with. Thanks in advance!
stuck in deployment, getting this error "could not map port using UPnP: Operation not permitted" any help would be appreciated, started when I added the VPN as instructed.
With the truecharts repo being deprecated, whats the next best way to setting up vpn for docker containers?
Also looking for this
Hi Lo-Res i was wondering if you're planning a tutorial for radarr installation on truenas scale
Yep, just haven't had the time yet.
I got everything working, BUT my only issue is that i cant see the files in my SMB that are downloaded and it seems like Plex cant see them either. I know this is a permission issue, but i cant see to figure out how to have other users see files downloaded or created by other users. I have been trying to fix this for a few days now and not having any luck.
Now that TrueCharts self nuked, is there an easy enough way to do this with the official TrueNAS qb release?
Worked fine until I tried to enable PIA. I'm receiving the following error and deployment hangs. "UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping failed. Message: "could not map port using UPnP: no router found"". Ideas?
PNP is not enabled on my pFsense firewall, nor will it be. Is there some forwarding that needs to be setup on Truenas?
after adding the VPN config setting into qbittorrent is fails to deploy. it just gets stuck, but if I set it to not use a VPN is deploys just time. Any suggestions to try.
Did you change the name of the ovpn file, i had the same problem after the update to windows 11.The option show file extensions was disabled so when is set the name to .conf the file name was actualy nordvpn.conf.ovpn
I am having the same issue. Still trying to work out getting logs to point me in the right direction
i tried following these steps, in the part where you tell the container to use VPN, openvpn says (deprecated) .... what does this mean?
I ignored it and continued with the rest of the steps but it just does not like the vpn configuration,. I need help
thanks for the guide. super useful. I am on App Version: 4.6.3 and Chart Version:18.2.0 and looks like the default passwd has been changed. does anyone know which one is default?
for anyone in the future stumbling upon this: you can find the default admin password in qbittorrents logs
Lo-Resy DIY, I followed you video on how to add commercial vpn service to qbittorrent. However my qbittorrent is stuck in deploying mode. Were there any other configuration that may have missed. Thanks
I have the same issue as you. As soon as I disable the VPN setting qbittorrent boots right up without an issue but with the VPN settings filled in it doesn't work.
Same problem!
Did you guys find a solution ?
@@smootise_ Best solution was foregoing any use of torrents/vpns and setup usenet servers/indexers with SABnzbd instead.
@@smootise_ Same problem for me, I believe upnp is my issue: 2023-04-07T21:07:01 - UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping failed.

I’m getting this error “error: unable to upgrade connection: container not found ("openvpn")” when checking my ipvanish ip address?
Where you able to get this working?
@@LoResDIY no...
Hi! I just had that error, what fixed it what that my path to my config file was wrong. Dumb mistake. Especially if you have a space in one of your directories. Mine was something like /mnt/This Disk/Apps, but I had put /mnt/'This Disk'/Apps with the single quotes which was messing it up.
i keep searching online for a answer but i cant find one. when i try to go into Pod Shell for qbit it tells me "WARN [0000} unable to read /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml, please start server with --write-kubeconfig-mode to modify kube config permissions error" do you and any idea what is going on there. PS: thank you for the videos they are helping alot.
you have to login from root, this happens when you login from admin
@@random401 thank youi i just noticed your responded i bit the bullet and restarted my server and made root instead of admin.
good day. could you point me in to the right direction on why, when I try to download the file you mention in the video. The torrent automatically goes to "Errored" status?
I got it, you need to make sure you select the automatic permissions
@@DennisMorse where do you select auto permissions?
@@Amphibious_NL That's where i goof'd up. Its been solved Thanks for chiming in to help me.
@@DennisMorse I selected auto permissions but it is still "Errored"
@@commanderbly009 I would triple check to make sure all of your settings match his settings. Let me know if that works.
I keep getting an ERRORED status when trying to download anything. Any help?
Make sure your permissions are correct.
Make sure when you install the app that enable automatic permissions
I always get this, can someone help me? Error: [EFAULT] Failed to update chart release: Error: UPGRADE FAILED: pre-upgrade hooks failed: timed out waiting for the condition
do we need vpn for prowlarr and co...? of course for education purpose only
Hi Lo-Res...Thanks for this tutorial. I was able to get qbittorrent working and downloading to the desired /mnt/download folder, however the only thing I can't seem to get to work is creating the vpn addon. I pretty much tried your exact steps in creating the PIA dataset, putting the .ovpn file in there, then trying to set the vpn config file location path, but it keeps on failing with the error message "Error: [ENOENT] values.persistence.config.hostPath: This path does not exist.". I've even tried putting the .ovpn file in my custom mnt which is where I download my files to as I know for sure that the path is reachable, but I still get the same error message. What I'm confused with your setup is that you created a PIA dataset and gave it permission for apps, however you don't ever add PIA in the qbittorent app storage, so how does qbittorent know how to get the vpn config file from PIA dataset if you never added it to your storage other then referencing it when adding the VPN profile?
I resolve my issue by installing an older version of qBittorrent (4.5_13.0.5). Your tutorial was very helpful. I wouldn't have figured this out without you. Thanks again!
Actually, it doesn't work. VPN works, but downloading doesn't work. Adding VPN addon seems to remove the mnt storage for some reason. Also, it's not a version issue. I went back and tried the latest version and was able to get VPN profile to work, but still having the same issue with the missing mnt storage when VPN addon is configured.
I know this is old, but i had the same issue and i forgot to change the permissions for the data set
@@VuVu-hg6di I have this same issue.. can't seem to figure out how to get openvpn to run while still keeping the host storage mounted. It works just fine when openvpn is not configured.
Fixed this issue by removing the SMB share after putting the config file in
Hello- I followed the directions, but I can only get very slow speeds- like 30-40k on the download. without the VPN connected, I get 15-30mbs. I applied the directions to deluge, and everything works as expected, terrific speeds. but i'd still like to get qbitorrent working with the VPN- what have I neglected?
Were you able to figure this out? I'm having the same problem at this very moment. Thanks
@@QuayMims I never got qbitorrent to work well with the VPN config. I got deluge working with legacy VPN setting, not the glue. That being said, I do like deluge now. I get great speeds throughput with the expressvpn.
@@michaeltristan Thanks for the response. I was able to get it to work. I made a few changes to the data set permissions as well as switched my VPN provider to PIA.
I cant find the TrueCharts virsion of Qbittorent, can someone help?
Have in added the truecharts repository?

@@LoResDIY I added truecharts repository but now it gives me error when I install qbittorent
@@LoResDIY thanks, it works now
Wish it was cyberghost vpn!! I can’t seem to find any instructions on how to set up TS Scale with cyberghost vpn.
I have never used it. Sorry.
cyberghost openvpn works. You have to go to cyberghost and create a manual config which will give you the .ovpn. You will need to modify the .ovpn to add the ca, cert, and key into the .ovpn file.
Anyone else getting permission errors when trying to download files? The official TrueNAS app gives me no problems but the TrueCharts version does.
same here, i set the dataset owner to apps and gave it full write permission recursively and still failing. have you found a solution??
idk wtf is up with the permissions but if I set the app to use as user 3000 and set the folder permission to my own user and it works. something is weird with the 568 user through truecharts' version
@@v000000000000v Yeah I installed an older version set permissions up as "apps" on the dataset and then ran BitTorrent. Once I ran it I stopped it and then updated and then it seemed to work fine. It seems to be bug in the current version when doing. fresh install.
does not work anymore :/ qbittorrrent ovpn is deprecated :(
I can't seem to figure out what the username and password you are referring is. is it my wifi username and password, login to router or something else. Please help
When you sign up for PIA they will send you a username and you will choose a password. So it is the username and password for the VPN.
@@LoResDIY you mean something like(nordVPN ect) happy to sign up and do you have affilet link(wanna support the channel too :-)
plus once i signup to PIA do i need to configure my machine or just follow the rest of the tutorial
@Lo-Res DIY
Make sure you don't have a "$" in your VPN password. qBittorrent will fail to start otherwise.
Yup, was deploying forever till i changed it without special characters. Thanks.
Новые видио ещё будут?
Yes, just trying to find the time. Prowler, radarr, sonar, and lidarr will be up next.
