qBit is showing and acting as firewalled but setup is correct in Gluetun

Setup:

Debian running podman. Containers and compose files are managed with Dockge. qBit and Gluetun are on a single compose file and all qBit traffic is routed through Gluetun.

qBit seems to starts first before Gluetun is fully set up and qBit doesn't see the open port. Every time I start them together, I have to manually restart qBit again once Gluetun is ready. Once it's restarted, it shows as open and connected again.

I tried looking for ways to delay startup in a compose file but I didn't get any results.

Is there a solution to this?

Did you specify a dependency? https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/05-services/#depends_on

If qbit depends on gluetun it doesn't start before it.

For this kind of question it's always good to show the compose file(s)

I added this to my qBit section:

    depends_on:
      gluetun:
        condition: service_healthy
        restart: true

It caused an error with gluetun somehow

You only need depends_on: gluetun. Did you observe the logs at boot? Do they still show that qbit starts first?

qBit starts second but Gluetun isn't finished and doesn't open the port for another few seconds, causing this problem

See if your qBit container supports mounting scripts to be run at startup and just throw in a sleep 60 or whatever

I use only the default depends_on along with network mode in my setup and it works but your glutun might be taking longer to load so something like this might help.

You definitely need some kind of depends on thought:

I added this to my qBit section:

    depends_on:
      gluetun:
        condition: service_healthy
        restart: true

I have had a similar issue I think. Try killing and removing the containers (docker kill and docker RM) and then start it. Iirc that was what fixed it for me.

This happens every time I start them together, though. This is just a temporary fix

Why do you think it's firewalled?

Does the web gui work, and just the torrents are failing?

I assume you didn't forget to open the port on the machine. I made that mistake and it took forever to figure out

Torrents are stalling and it's only seeding about 600 KB/s. The icon at the bottom shows a little flame and the hover text says "firewalled".

Restarting qBit through the Dockge web terminal turns that flame icon into a globe and it starts finding hundreds of DHT networks. Uploads nearly max out my upload bandwidth.
