I am planning on running a plex media server and torrenting setup including sonarr, radarr, jackett and deluge on my pi and putting each in docker containers, I also want to use a vpn for the torrenting however I dont want the plex server to be under the coverage of the vpn, I thought I might be able to use split tunneling to do this however my vpn doesn’t support it on the pi. My question is if the plex server is in a separate container to the vpn will it be encrypted by the vpn? If it is, is there another way to avoid this.
are you talking about a vpn “service” or vpn “server”?
I’m not sure about this particular setup but generally you can configure a devices VPN to exclude connections to your local network.
Check out LMDS I think this might help you. See FAQ section to figure out how you can use your VPS service with the project.
I’m running gluetun, transmission and jackett containers within the same network, exposing some ports to reach them from outside the tunneled network.
Here’s my docker-compose file.
I don’t think you need to add sonarr and radarr to the tunneled network, afaik they don’t connect directly to any tracker or torrent site.
Ur right it’s exactly the thing I was looking for, great job it’s a brilliant project! I have fully installed and setup my containers but am currently struggling to set up my external storage with the whole setup, I have mounted the drive but can’t find it as an option in plex and my downloads from deluge don’t seem to appear there. I know setting it up after the docker compose probably isn’t the best way to do things, just wondering if it’s possible to get working correctly
Yes, it can be all reconfigured after all the containers are set, it won’t be a problem. Ping me through contact details on my webpage, we can look at this together if we are in similar timezone. GMT-0
