Docker image with qBittorrent, Firefox and Xpra

Xpra can be used to connect to X in the container where qBittorrent and Firefox will be running. You can also access qBT through it's web UI if you don't have access to a system running X, but even WSL2 works with Xpra.

The image is based on linuxserver/qbittorrent. Only Xpra, Firefox and the normal, non-nox, qBittorrent client are added to the base image.

Build image

docker build -t gangefors/qbt .

Environment variables

See linuxserver/qbittorrent for the base env. vars.

This image adds the following env. vars:

XPRA_PORT default: 3388

This is the port Xpra server will listen on. This port needs to be published.
DISPLAY default: 10

This is the display that Xpra will use. Must be >= 10.
FIX_CERT_ISSUES default: unset

If the tracker still haven't upgraded their certificates you can lower the TLS protocol and cipher for compatibility. Set it to any value to enable.
