The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason WHY YSK:
In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true:
Disinformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.
Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.
Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.
Rule 14- This is a human community, NO LLMS ALLOWED.
No LLM based bot will ever have permission to post in YSK, do not ask.

Don't use uTorrent. It's a scam.
Yes qbittorrent and gluetun in a docker container is very handy.
This was the setup I had recently, but recent versions of gluetun just couldn't maintain a connection. I tried with three different VPN providers and they all dropped connection within 12 hours.
I've heard some people have that issue, check out binhex's qbit container with built-in VPN handling.
You can run qBittorrent outside docker and configure it to only bind to the network interface for the VPN (in Tools->Options->Advanced->Network Interface).
Unless for some strange reason your VPN connection is constantly renaming the network interface when it starts, this should work fine and make sure qBittorrent never sends any data outside the VPN connection.
This is Linux, so there's usually more than one way to get the same result.
My torrent client is running in docker on my NAS, so running it outside of docker is a no-go. I switched back to my old setup of using a docker container that combines both qbittorrent and openvpn in the same container. Smooth sailing with no hitches at all. I can't share the VPN across containers anymore, but qbittorrent was the only container that actually needed it.
Maybe I'll get it working one day. Today is just not that day.
It took me a while to figure out gluetun. Once it's all setup and configured correctly, it's great !
Any resources you found handy to get you going? I am getting started with Docker and would love any advice!
