Host OS

Ubuntu 22.04

CPU arch

x86_64

What is the version of Gluetun

Running version latest built on 2024-07-12T19:57:02.146Z (commit 9d50c23)

What's the problem 🤔

ProtonVPN server list is outdated even after update following https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/servers.md#update-the-vpn-servers-list. (As was also noted in #2332).

Attempted fix: manually create a servers.json and bind to /gluetun/servers.json Expected behaviour: Gluetun runs with the manually created servers.json. Observed behaviour: Gluetun overwrites the manual servers.json and then can't find specified hostname, because servers.json was overwritten.

Attempted fix 2: manually create a servers.json and bind to /gluetun/servers.json, read-only Expected behaviour: Gluetun runs with the manually created servers.json, doesn't overwrite file Observed behaviour: Gluetun cannot overwrite file and quits.

ProtonVPN server list is outdated even after update following https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/servers.md#update-the-vpn-servers-list. (As was also noted in #2332).

What servers are you missing? See my response https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/issues/2332#issuecomment-2252308632 as well.

Attempted fix: manually create a servers.json and bind to /gluetun/servers.json Expected behaviour: Gluetun runs with the manually created servers.json.

This is by design, the servers.json you have bind mounted is a merge of the the most recent data between your local servers.json and the built-in servers.json. You probably didn't change the timestamp for protonvpn, hence the override. On the other hand, the next servers update will then throw away your local servers data, so you should avoid changing it manually. Let's figure this out together and I can add it in the updating code so it's bundled now and in the future. Are the servers you are missing present in https://api.protonmail.ch/vpn/logicals ?

Let's please continue the conversation on (now re-opened) issue #2332 to figure out what servers are missing and how we can automatically add them to the list. Closing this since the behavior or servers.json is as expected.
