kyle-mcknight commented 6 months ago

Is this urgent?

No

Host OS

Windows/WSL2

CPU arch

x86_64

VPN service provider

ExpressVPN

What are you using to run the container

docker-compose

What is the version of Gluetun

Running version latest built on 2023-12-22T09:42:18.243Z (commit f8da1e7)

What's the problem 🤔

I am attempting to set the SERVER_COUNTRY to USA and the SERVER_CITIES to valid values. The container doesn't start and prints an error that one of the cities is not valid, however, all of the cities I've listed are in the json file, they are printed as valid values in the container logs when the error occurs, and they are printed when using the docker run command on the running glueton container to see the list of servers.

Saw previous issues where reverting to 3.4 or 3.4.1 was a temporary solution but had no success.

JardynV commented 4 months ago

A good workaround is using the SERVER_HOSTNAMES= environment variable and pulling the server hostname you want out of the servers.md file for anyone running into this issue.

JardynV commented 4 months ago

But make sure if you take that path you comment or remove BOTH the SERVER_COUNTRIES and SERVER_CITIES variables or it won't utilize the SERVER_HOSTNAMES variable properly
