I don't seem to get more than 80mbps I currently have 200mbps I haven't really paid much attention.... Generally though, I find its really dependent on the tracker im connected to. The private ones im on have always seemed very fast! I've got a 1g connection.... Just doing a test i'm running 200+ mbps Update..... watching it, its now jumped to 500~600 Edited March 31, 20215 yr by clowrym updated speeds
April 1, 20215 yr Hi all, I am receiving the error: WARNING: initial DNS resolution test failed curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.privateinternetaccess.com per others suggestions here and from on this thread I have tried: -dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8 to OpenVPN_OPTIONS --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4 to the container's Extra Parameters mapping /etc/resolv.conf and populating the file with either: OVERRIDE_DNS_1=8.8.8.8 OVERRIDE_DNS_2=8.8.4.4 nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 None seem to correct the issue. Any other troubleshooting steps I can take?

Maybe that's the kicker because i'm using public free trackers. I wish someone sends me an invite for those private ones.

April 11, 20215 yr I have two issues with this unraid docker package: 1) The dropdown list for VPN providers doesn't contain the CUSTOM field, that is needed for example for AirVPN, because they use custom ovpn configs that you generate. This would not be a problem if not for issue #2 2) Everytime there is an update of this docker, some fields get reset and then the docker stop working. First some fields that I removed, like the /mnt/data/T_Media keep coming back, recreating over and over the share T_Media, which is annoying. More problematic is that the provider resets everytime to the first choice of the dropdown and I have everytime to remove it and manually add it back as CUSTOM, then removed the unneeded fields. Until I do that, the torrenting doesn't work because the VPN can't connect. In summary, it would be nice that the values don't reset like that and that the CUSTOM choice was available for VPN provider.

The template is set up with PIA servers per the OP 2) I'm not sure why it resets all the fields, I dont have that issue, as its my template and the changes I make are typically for my own use.... I will have to look into that. I created the template, but am by no means an expert at it!! 3) Read this post, remove the template URL and that should stop the issue HERE Edited April 20, 20215 yr by clowrym added link

April 20, 20215 yr 10 minutes ago, clowrym said: Added CUSTOM option to OPENVPN_PROVIDER for you. Thanks ! If anyone has any idea why this particular docker template would need the TemplateURL parameter to be manually removed, any feedback is welcome. I remember not having to do that with the activ-transmissionvpn one, which is fairly similar to this one, except for the missing extra GUI options (kettu, ...)

THIS post explains the current functionality of the Docker templates / OS design. HERE as well Edited April 20, 20215 yr by clowrym added additional link
April 20, 20215 yr 16 minutes ago, clowrym said: THIS post explains the current functionality of the Docker templates / OS design Yep, sorry I read it quickly and saw: Quote It assumes that any ports that aren't defined in your template are new to the update and adds them in. so I thought it was only an issue for ports. So basically I guess that the other templates don't add fields for values that could be widely different depending on the user preferences, like shares & Cie. You said you were mainly using this for yourself, so I guess we would need another template with just the bare minimum filled and the rest to be filled by the user, as other "mainstream" templates do. You loose a bit of time the first time, but save some after that. TIL something.
May 18, 20215 yr Is anyone experiencing the downloads stopping after some time (couple hours to couple days)? The container seems to work fine after restarted and then I'll notice the next few days when a new tv release gets added to transmission and they stay at 0% until I restart and they download just fine... I wonder if this is an issue with the vpn? I use Netherlands PIA currently...

May 19, 20215 yr Transmission becomes unresponsive(last time was after I ran "delete local data"). I can't stop or kill the docker container. Stopping the docker service doesn't cause the container to stop either(disabling docker in settings). I've tried deleting the docker vdisk img and starting from scratch and I'm getting the same issues. Trying to stop or shutdown the array causes the server to hang. I have to hard shutdown the server using the power button. What on earth could be causing this? It's not an Intel NUC despite the diagnostic name. When I try to get into the container after it's become unresponsive I get the following error: root@nuc:~# docker exec -it transmission bash OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:367: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:112: executing setns process caused: exit status 1: unknown nuc-diagnostics-20210518-1203 (1).zip
May 19, 20215 yr Author Does it become responsive once the delete is competed? If not, i would post a support request on Haugene's Issues page
