I've started setting up my media server and was wondering if I should put my docker containers with sonarr and radarr behind my VPN the same as my qbit?
You can but you don't need to. All they really do is organise everything. Any requests go through Prowlarr/Jackett which do the API calls then push that to qBit. One could argue you should put Prowlarr behind a VPN as well but it depends on the trackers you have in there.
I'm having some difficulties getting both sonarr and radarr working simultaneously behind my VPN because they default to the same port. I'm not very well versed in docker, so I don't know how to fix the port issue behind the VPN, but I can fix it if they're just separate from the VPN.
Radarr defaults to 7878 and Sonarr to 8989, no? Are you trying to remotely access them through the VPN?
I thought so, but I get an error that the port is already used when in try to start sonarr after radarr. I'm only trying to reach them from my local network.
i get this error *removed externally hosted image*
it works perfectly fine with the same user and setup as long as i'm not putting it beheind my VPN. I have no other instances of sonarr running.
Looks like Sonarr may be configured to use 7878 and not its default. Where is your local VPN endpoint? Docker? A router?
Docker using gluetun.
I haven't set it to use 7878, it should be using the default.
i have them all connected to my gluetun vpn. prowlar sonarr radar qbit deluge everything under the vpn. maybe overkill but prefer it for the safety even if it adds some latency to them
