How to change default 6881 port on docker compose

[jmnicolas90]

Hi,

I have a problem with a tracker that doesn't accept the default 6881 port (even though I redirected this internal port to another external one, qBittorrent is reporting to the tracker that it uses 6881).

So I changed the default port in the Web UI preferences panel and in the compose file and restarted the container.

However my torrent client is now refusing incoming connections (it was working with 6881).

I have now this in my compose file :

ports:
# for bittorrent traffic 6881
- 47189:47189/tcp
- 47189:47189/udp
# for WebUI
- 37429:37429/tcp

What I need is to tell qBittorrent to change its default port, something like :
- QBT_WEBUI_PORT=37429
but for the traffic.

I'd appreciate any help solving this problem, thanks in advance.

• QBT_WEBUI_PORT=37429
  but for the traffic.

You can change it in WebUI at Options -> Connection tab -> Listening Port.

This is what I did but qBittorrent is refusing incoming connections.
If I leave the standard 6881 port it allows incoming connections (but then one of my tracker complains).
