I finally got around to switching my qbittorrent to the Trigus42/alpine-qbittorrentvpn one. There was a question posed earlier about can you just change the image name, so I figured I'd try it.
For those interested, it does work to just change the name (I did back up the existing configs first as a safety), but you will still have to do the extras script gderf posted above to get back the python install.
The new container came up with all the setting in place that I had made and kept the status of the torrents. As noted earlier in the thread, I do have qbittorrent bound to my wg0 interface, so I also tested taking the wg0 interface down (dropping the vpn) to make sure it didn't continue to download and I'm happy to say the downloads stopped, then after a few seconds the container restarted to initiate the connection again, so it appears to give the same functionality as with the DyonR container and with the container gderf was continuing with for a while.
