Docker container running Transmission torrent client with WebUI over an OpenVPN tunnel

OpenVPN and Transmission with WebUI

This container contains OpenVPN and Transmission with a configuration where Transmission is running only when OpenVPN has an active tunnel. It has built in support for many popular VPN providers to make the setup easier.

Start there if you're having issues or questions about your container. If you can't find your answer in the docs, please search for similar issues (open and closed) before opening a new one.

Still can't figure it out? Open a new issue and share the details of your setup and some logs. Without that it's hard to help you. If you have a proposal for better documentation, come with it. PR's are always welcome! :)

Quick Start

These examples shows valid setups using PIA as provider for both docker run and docker-compose. Note that you should read some documentation at some point, but this is a good place to start.

Docker run

$ docker run --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -d \
              -v /your/storage/path/:/data \
              -e OPENVPN_PROVIDER=PIA \
              -e OPENVPN_CONFIG=france \
              -e OPENVPN_USERNAME=user \
              -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=pass \
              -e LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/16 \
              --log-driver json-file \
              --log-opt max-size=10m \
