Gluetun qbittorrent port updater? (lemmy.ml)

For a while I've used a docker image that read a file that gluetun updates with the current open port and then updates qbittorrent to use that port.

It seems that utility is no longer maintained.

Does anybody know of a solid replacement?

Gluetun should be able to do this without any extra tools, check out the qbittorrent example on the gluetun wiki: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/vpn-port-forwarding.md#qbittorrent-example

I do something similar for transmission, though I put it all in a script that I mount into the container so my command is just VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_UP_COMMAND=/bin/sh -c "set-transmission-port {{PORTS}}"
