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It seems that utility is no longer maintained.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}}"

    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_COMMAND option 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.

    Why not use a provider like AirVPN that lets you use the same port number all the time?

    Like the other two comments are saying: use a recent version of gluetun and its built in functionality.
