showstopper

This app is amazing! I have been using it for years but I am definitely now doing something wrong!! I have gluetunvpn running and I have some dockers that use this network. When the backup runs some of the other containers fail to start. I have been trying to troubleshoot this, but I am now a little stuck!! I have noticed that I did have my apps the wrong way round in the 'Start order' So now Gluetun is at the bottom and my other containers are at the top. So this means the gluetun gets backed up first, updated and started. So gluetun backed up at 03:03 and succeeded [21.06.2026 03:03:00][debug][GluetunVPN] Volume '/mnt/user/appdata/gluetun' IS within AppdataPath '/mnt/user/appdata'!

If I then go into Docker I can start sonarr without issue. I get this with some, but not all, of my docker containers that run under gluetun. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong here?

Thank you so much for all the work you do here, and staying active!! If I wanted to add uplay, I can sort the DNS fine, but do I need to add any custom variables to the docker? Only because it has steam, battlenet and epic in the image already, I wasn't sure if I need to add anything here for other things that I would like to prefill?

Thanks for replying, I think I have fixed it. Either it is in the template, or I pasted this from a video I watched, but I cleared the value from ' SteamPrefill Parameters'. Pick the games you want to cache, select no, and it then downloaded at the cron time.

Yes will pull the games, but I don't want to pull them now, I want it to run at my cron schedule at night. Is this not possible do you know?

I have LanCache & LanCache-Prefill setup and I think I am using it incorrectly. I have selected the games that I want it to download for me: I have a total of 6 games selected. However only some are being downloaded to the cache location. If I select a new game and then select No for the prefill to run now: It does not seem to be running the new selections at the cron scheduled time: Am I using this wrong, or is there a bug here? I would expect it to download, or update, the games that I have selected in the cache location, but it looks like it is only doing the 3 games I initially selected (when setting this up) and running the prefill immediately.

Thank you so much for this! It is now working perfectly routing through gluetun

Not sure I fully understand (sorry) I have quite a few dockers running through the gluetun network, but jdownloader seems to think the port is in use if I do this. Even if I try to change the webgui port it always says this ^

Has anyone managed to get the jdownloader2 docker running through gluetunvpn? If install to my docker network jdownloader2 works perfectly, however if I try to route through gluetun, jdownloader errors saying port in use (I don't actually see it in use anywhere, and I have tried to change it but it doesn't seem to change).

Thank you for this! This has fixed my issue as well, shame that nvidia have dropped support.

Just for anyone else using this, it does work but it eats into your docker image. There is only one config (Config directory) but my image is almost 8GB and I do not see a way to reduce this.

Ahhh - that might be it. Thanks!

Does the auto-update on certain dockers work for anyone else? I want to auto-update all my containers other than gluetonvpn, but it seems to ignore and update it anyway.

I got this working. I needed to install from the reverse proxy address and not the internal IP. It then worked. Thank you for this docker!

Hey @untraceablez - I am not sure if you are still active here but thank you for this. I managed to install once but now it just hangs on step 2. Not sure if anyone has this working or not?

Looking in the unraid app store it looks like @CorneliousJD is maintaining this now? The app works perfectly other than it seems to stop randomly. I was wondering if it is when my docker apps check for updates. There doesn't seem to be anything useful in the log file. Does anyone else have this issue, or is there a way I can enable debug logging?
