Comment on Prowlarr VPN/proxy advice

FWIW, all of my *arr, and VPN containers use the same network bridge. Prowlarr and torrent use the VPN service, though having Prowlarr on there is maybe overkill. They’re all able to access one another using the bridge gateway + port as the host, e.g.: 172.20.0.1:5050
I mostly used this guide, where he suggests:
I have split out Prowlarr as you may want this running on a VPN connection if your ISP blocks certain indexers. If not copy this section into your compose as well. See my Gluetun guides for more information on adding to a VPN.

I wonder if I need to use a proper compose instead of the Portainer stacks function, so they’re all on the same network withing docker.

I have VPN, BitTorrent and prowlarr in one “stack” (a project in Synology Container Manager). Everything else is bundled into a separate project. Not sure how portainer would make this work differently. I don’t have much experience with that.

Yeah that makes sense. That’s helpful thank you. I finally got it working pretty simply last night. Thanks for the help!
