Current Behavior

I am not using Privado, I am using Hide.me. Upon start, the container starts and shows port in list. The port disappears once the container goes from starting to running status. I check the log and I get a loop then it aborts as seen in the logfile attached below.

Expected Behavior

All functions load and are accessible and transmission connected behind Hide.me VPN

How have you tried to solve the problem?

Restarted container
Stopped & restarted VPN
Rebooted machine where container is housed
Removed and recreated the container

Delete container and recreate..

[Xsatc77]

That put me in the same state... still on the loop of a VPN i dont even use

[pkishino]

If you deleted the container completely it wouldn’t have a git cache of downloaded profiles..

@Xsatc77 if you delete the config from the opt/transmission/config directory the configuration gets freshly cloned and the issue disapears :)
You have mapped the config as volume and therfore just recreating the container does not work.

The folder you want to delete is named vpn-configs-contrib

[pkishino]

Exactly, the clones repo is stored in config so check that the git clone deleted

As @Aniel noted, if you have a mapped Volume for /config you must delete the offending directory (in that case, privado) so the error dissappears.

I had bind mapped /config to /srv/mergerfs/HDs_2TB/torrents/transmission-home, so I had to

sudo rm -rf /srv/mergerfs/HDs_2TB/torrents/transmission-home/vpn-configs-contrib/openvpn/privado/ to successfully deploy transmission-openvpn.
