Fixing QBitTorrent

If qBittorrent is not accessible after restart, run this command to configure it to bind to all IPv4 addresses on the wg0 interface:

docker compose exec qbittorrent sed -i 's/Session\\InterfaceAddress=.*/Session\\InterfaceAddress=0.0.0.0/' /config/config/qBittorrent.conf && docker compose restart qbittorrent

This sets:

• Network interface: wg0 (WireGuard)
• Optional IP to bind to: 0.0.0.0 (all IPv4 addresses)

When set to 0.0.0.0, qBittorrent will automatically bind to whatever IPv4 address wg0 receives, regardless of Pi restarts or network changes.

Why This Works

• PIA assigns a new IP to wg0 each time the container restarts
• Instead of chasing a moving target with IP updates, bind to 0.0.0.0 (all IPs) on the interface
• qBittorrent automatically uses the current IP without manual intervention

Verify It's Working

Check within container:

docker compose exec qbittorrent grep "Session\\Interface" /config/config/qBittorrent.conf

Should show:

Session\Interface=wg0
Session\InterfaceAddress=0.0.0.0
Session\InterfaceName=wg0
