Installation

Networking

WebGUI

I left this default since there was no reason for me to change the WebGUI port

This is ALSO the port Sonarr/Radarr and other services will use to connect to qBittorrent

Listening Ports

With VPN

• No need to port forward on your router
• If you want fast seeding, you will need a service that supports port forwarding
• I use Mullvad, and changed the port below to the port that was allocated to me by Mullvad

Without VPN

• You can leave the port default without a VPN
• If you want fast seeding though, you will need to port forward this port on your router

Storage

Configuration

The setup is default

Data

• media is the dataset I created for my media here: Dataset Creation
• media is also the dataset that hosts all nested folders for my media, as shown in the tree structure here: Folder Structure
• Qbittorrent only needs to access the /media/download/torrent folder, so I gave it access to that folder only
• Sonarr/Radarr will be able to hardlink files from the download directory, since they both will be seeing the folders they require
