gluetun issues with 2 docker

[0xN0BADC0FF33]

I use gluetun to connect docker containers to VPN.

If i add 2 docker instances from you. firefox and jdownloader2 only one is available on the exposed ports.

This is my docker compose which doesnt work only jdownloader2 will be exposed on the port.

gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    container_name: gluetun
    restart: unless-stopped
    # line above must be uncommented to allow external containers to connect. See https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Connect-a-container-to-gluetun#external-container-to-gluetun
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices:

      - 8388:8388/udp # Shadowsocks
      - 7800:7800
      - 5800:5800

    volumes:
      - ${APPDATA}gluetun:/gluetun:rw
    environment:

      # Timezone for accurate log times
      - TZ=${TZ}

firefox:
    image: jlesage/firefox
    container_name: ff
    shm_size: 4g
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"
    volumes:
      - ${APPDATA}ff:/config:rw
      - ${FF}
    environment:
      - USER_ID=${PUID}
      - GROUP_ID=${PGID}
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - SECURE_CONNECTION=1
      - VNC_PASSWORD=xxx

  jdownloader-2:
    image: jlesage/jdownloader-2
    container_name: jd2
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ${APPDATA}jd2:/config:rw
      - ${JD}
    environment:
      - USER_ID=${PUID}
      - GROUP_ID=${PGID}
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - SECURE_CONNECTION=1
      - WEB_LISTENING_PORT=7800

How to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Does the Firefox container work if you don't have the JD one ?

[0xN0BADC0FF33]

Yes, the firefox container works flawlessly if i remove the network_mode from JD. I can access then JD with the 7800:7800 port mapping... Firefox and JD works well together but only if i dont use gluetun as their network mode. If i add 1 of the container they work. If I add both, only one of them works.

[jlesage]

When FF is used with gluetun, do you access it via port 5800 ?

[0xN0BADC0FF33]

Yes, i played around every possibility. Tried also adding - WEB_LISTENING_PORT=6800 to the FF docker container and mapping in gluetun with 6800:6800 and try to access it but if jd is also in gluetun with port 7800 or 5800 the FF container is not reachable.

[jlesage]

Can you share the log of the non-functioning container: docker logs <container name>

[0xN0BADC0FF33]

Oh, sorry didnt't know about the logs... It was a conflict with the VNC Port which stopped the nginx server. I added now - VNC_LISTENING_PORT=6000 to the ff container to avoid the conflict with JD 5900 automatically set VNC port. Now it works! This was the output from the log:

Great! BTW, if you don't use the VNC port, you can just set VNC_LISTENING_PORT to -1 (for both containers).
