Application Configuration

(Synapse Data is a currently unused dataset I attached for testing purposes, my primary instance of this also experienced this on an almost identical configuration so I'm using a proxy, which is not as good for seeding, but nevertheless I wanted to keep it up while this is fixed)

Describe the bug

When using an OpenVPN connection (I suspect it is the same on WireGuard, but I have not tried that as I do not have access to a WireGuard VPN as of now) on a qBitTorrent app hostPath mounts are not mounted properly (also tried PVC, that didn't work either). The connection works (the logs show the VPN IP, not my IP), and adding and downloading torrents works, it just doesn't download them to my torrent dataset, making them inaccessible. This exact same configuration with VPN disabled works as intended, just without the VPN.
To Reproduce

1. Create a qBitTorrent app
2. Configure a hostPath/PVC mount
3. Configure a valid OpenVPN connection
4. Configure the app so it should function (proper ports, etc.)
5. Start this app
6. To observe: open shell for the qBitTorrent container (not the OpenVPN container, although nothing appears there either). The hostPath/PVC mount will not be mounted.
   Expected behavior

The configured mount should be there.

Additional context

[Ornias1993]

We've multiple users using this without these issues and i'm missing a LOT of required information in this buigreport.
Hence I would suggest going through our support process before (re)opening this bugreport.

So i'm closing this for now, untill the support staff can verify your setup is, in fact, correct.
(including possible permission issues)

[Nolij]

I made literally 1 change to the config: change VPN to disabled. It works as intended. That's literally the ONLY change I made. As for information, I've provided all the information requested, and I'm happy to provide more if you could tell me what you would like me to provide.

[Ornias1993]

reopened due to verification by @Heavybullets8

So it seems Wireguard is working just fine with hostpath, but OpenVPN is not. Below are both of my configurations.

Here is the Hostpath I used for both Wireguard and OpenVPN

OpenVPN configuration

The Shell doesn't display a "welcome" message like it does with the Wireguard configuration you'll see below.
Also no /torrent mountpath

Wireguard Configuration

Wireguard Shell. with properly mounted /torrent as well as welcome message.

[indivisionjoe]

FWIW, I'm using OpenVPN and the HostPath part works fine. So, maybe this issue is triggered by some particular order of setting things up.

(I only landed here because I seem to have connectivity issues when using OpenVPN...)

[Ornias1993]

@indivisionjoe Can you confirm you are also doing that in qbittorrent?

[Nolij]

This also happened on Prowlarr, I just don't give Prowlarr any mounts so it didn't effect me. I assume it's just a generic issue with the way TrueCharts does OpenVPN.

I was not asking you @Nolij

I was not asking you @Nolij

I understand that, just adding additional information as it's discovered

Thanks

[Ornias1993]

Please do not +1
OBVIOUSLY it's still an issue because the issue isn't closed.

[Ornias1993]

I'm going to lock this and contratz with the timeout.
When a maintainer tells you to STFU with the +1 comments, you stfu with the +1 comments.

[Ornias1993]

To be frank: I've not seen any more reports of this in latest releases after the bug refactor and we never where able to correctly reproduce and/or bugtrace this either. Please create a new issue if this issue still exists.
