Hi everyone 👋 Thank you for this amazing community. I have been a passive reader of this subreddit for way too long. I have learnt a lot from all the publications here made and wanted to contribute something back.
Anyway, I’ve been gradually building out my self-hosted stack and now I am including qBittorrent and Gluetun into the equation. One thing that bugged me is that I wanted my torrents to always have the most active trackers that I could.
So I took this great shell script that injects trackers into existing torrents — and I:
- 🐳 Dockerized it
- 🔁 Set it to run on a schedule
- 🔐 Added support for both authenticated and unauthenticated qBittorrent setups
- 🛡️ Allowed it to run alongside Gluetun
It automatically fetches the latest trackers from ngosang/trackerslist and injects them into existing public torrents (without touching private ones).
If anyone wants to try it out or contribute, here’s the repo:

And the Docker image is here:
📦 ghcr.io/greatnewhope/qbittorrent-trackers-updater:latest
It works perfectly with linuxserver/qbittorrent and Gluetun (I have included examples for non-Gluetun setups too).
I hope you find it helpful!
