Slskd & VPN Port Forwarding Confusion (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi, folks! I'm relatively new to self-hosting and am trying to operate slskd through a wireguard-forwarded port.

I set up an instance of slskd in a docker container with a gluetun dependency, kind like this, and everything seems to be working well, but none of the shares are actually available.

I think I may need to mess with my router, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer on this...most of the tutorials stop at the docker compose and slskd config files. Have any of y'all gotten around this?

Things seem to be working now; I can reach my slskd profile from other user profiles, browse and download shares, etc.

I didn't need to mess with my router at all. Instead, I made use of this guide to enable slskd's baked-in gluetun integration with a control server.

I am still a little confused about why I needed a control server, and it seems to be forwarding the wrong port, but things appear as they should on the client side.

I'll comment my compose.yaml under this. I hope this is helpful.

    Edit: It is now working and I will not be touching anything 🫪

    Hello my setup is pretty similar, slskd seems to be updating its port to the one provided by gluetun, and I can download from some users, but with other users i get 'User appears to be offline' in the logs even though soulseek says they are online.

    From a second profile on a machine without the forwarded ports, I can see my shares but cant download from them, which means theres a misconfiguration on my end right? Netcat says the port is indeed open.

    Anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
