[gluetun] How to bind qbittorrent (not in a container)

I saw that the wiki explains how to make docker containers go though
gluetun, but I'm not sure how I could do this with non-dockerized
programs.

AFAIK, there is no docker container for qbittorrent that gives access
to the native UI (correct me if I'm wrong). So I have to use the non-
dockerized version of it (to have access to the native UI). I want to
use the qbittorrent UI to create torrents for example (not possible
remotely on any torrent client, to my current knowledge).

I tried setting `HTTPPROXY=on` and exposing the port 8888, but I don't
see gluetun in the list of interfaces in qbittorrent.

Could someone guide me on how to do so ? I want qbittorrent and only
qbittorrent to go though gluetun.

Why not just use a locally installed version to create your torrent
and host them in a dockerized version?

What OS is qbittorrent and docker running on?

Why not keep it simple and just use a tool meant for it:

Think you should set the shadowsocks proxy instead of the http one

because the files are on the server running qbittorrent and not
somewhere else. Or is there a way to create torrent files from sftp or
something ?

is there a way to use one of these tools with sftp or a similar
protocol ?

How would that work? SFTP is a filetransfer protocol. How would it
create a torrent, or execute a program that then creates a torrent?

Simply install one of them on your host, then execute it over SSH.

yea I see, that could work indeed
