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It seems that utility is no longer maintained.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?

Like the other two comments are saying: use a recent version of gluetun and its built in functionality.
Why not use a provider like AirVPN that lets you use the same port number all the time?
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}}"I have the qbittorrent web UI running in a separate container that’s attached to my gluetun container. I use the
VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_UP_COMMANDoption in my gluetun container:environment: - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_UP_COMMAND=/bin/sh -c 'wget -O- --retry-connrefused --post-data "json={\"listen_port\":{{PORTS}}}" http://127.0.0.1:8072/api/v2/app/setPreferences 2>&1'You may have to adjust the http://127.0.0.1:8072/ part based on your setup.
The gluetun wiki’s command didn’t work for me, so I used yours and it worked flawlessly. Thank you.
The wiki uses {{PORT}} and it seems {{PORTS}} is the correct variable.
