Container keeps rebooting

[user4567ty]

Hi,

Today I installed the docker-transmission-openvpn container and everything worked fine. I made some changes to my settings and deployed the container again using docker-compose. Now the container keeps rebooting giving the following error:

Using default OpenVPN gateway for provider protonvpn Setting OPENVPN credentials... adding route to local network 192.168.1.0/24 via 172.17.0.1 dev eth0 Options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /etc/openvpn/protonvpn/default.ovpn Use --help for more information.

My docker-compose file: transmission-vpn: container_name: transmission-vpn image: haugene/transmission-openvpn cap_add:

• NET_ADMIN devices:
• /dev/net/tun restart: always ports:
  • "9091:9091" dns:

• PGID=${PGID}
• TZ=${TZ}
• TRANSMISSION_RPC_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED=true
• TRANSMISSION_UMASK=002
• TRANSMISSION_RATIO_LIMIT=1.00

Since deploying this container I'm also having connectivity issues with this server, running Ubuntu 18.04.

If anybody has a clue what the cause could be, let me know.

Thanks in advance!

which release are you using?

[ILAsoft]

Had the same issue w/lastest-armhf, so switched to 2.12-armhf temporarily and working fine now...

[user4567ty]

I was using the latest version. Switching to an older release seems to be working. Thanks!

[screwfaze]

Older release not working for me anyone know of any other fix?

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/nordvpn/default.ovpn:1: html (2.4.4)

I have the same issue running ubuntu server 20.20 with Docker version 19.03.9, build 9d988398e7 ILAsoft's recommendation worked but this is not a long term solution...

I am having the same issue with my OMV setup "Error opening configuration file: /etc/openvpn/protonvpn/default.ovpn" It was working fine yesterday. If someone could assist me in what they have done to get a fix would be much appreciated. I have seen mentions of rolling back but unsure on how to do that.

Same issue here, also unsure of how to roll back with OMV5/Portainer.

I don't know if it's related, but my issue seemed to start after updating Docker via OMV. Could this cause the above problems?

[Bidley]

OK I have it working now - I previously had the container within a docker network - removing the network from the equation allows the container to work as normal. Trying to route it through the network causes the same error again.

I'll be honest, I set this up about a year ago on OMV4 by following a youtube video, so I don't actually know if the network is necessary any more. But either way it seems to be working perfectly now.

I have tried setting up two different OMV vm's in virtual box, one running the latest version of omv4 and one running 4.1.3 they both get the same error: "options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /etc/openvpn/protonvpn/default.ovpn".

[pkishino]

protonvpn doesnt have a default.ovpn from what it looks like so you will need to specify openvpn_config parameter

I am pretty sure I have done that, I set OPENVPN_CONFIG = "config certificate I downloaded from protonvpn", when I built the container through omv webgui but the logs still had the same error though.

[pkishino]

if you just downloaded the config it most likely will not work as it needs to be modified slightly to work with the container. I believe it is described in the documentation how

[pkishino]

try specifying one of the configs from the protonvpn directory here.. like nl-01.protonvpn.com.udp

[Blehhh]

ok I will take a look, thanks for the help.

[Blehhh]

I have tried that as well, but could have missed something. When setting it to nl-01.protonvpn.com.udp, I was not able to find that file in the /var/lib/docker/ directory so I tried downloading the file and then setting OPENVPN_CONFIG to that file but was still the same error.

[pkishino]

If you check this repo you will see the openvpn folder.. all config are in there. So just set the config sich and it will load, no need to download anything

Sorry if I am being dense but I do not understand what you mean. To point OPENVPN_CONFIG to one of the .ovpn files I need them on my system, but I am unable to find them in my docker folders using locate, so I clone this repository, then point OPENVPN_CONFIG to a .ovpn file.... and it does not work. Supplied config /home/brook/transmission-openvpn/openvpn/protonvpn/au-09.protonvpn.com.tcp.ovpn.ovpn could not be found. I know that that file path has .ovpn twice but my config looks like this: It also still gives the initial error: Options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /etc/openvpn/protonvpn/default.ovpn

[pkishino]

all the openvpn files here: https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn/tree/master/openvpn are baked into the docker image.. so please just try setting OPENVPN_CONFIG to au-09.protonvpn.com.tcp thats it, nothing more

[Blehhh]

Ah ok I was over-complicating things sorry, my knowledge was lacking, was not aware you could do that. Unfortunately still the same issue though.

[pkishino]

Can you please post run command/config and any log please?

[Blehhh]

@pkishino Actually just using au-09.proton.com fixed it, I went through my build doc and I had made a typo when recreating it. Thank you so much for your help and patience.
