Docker-transmission-openvpn: Error: portTested: http error 0: No Response

[holger8080]

Hi all,

I want to run the package on my Synology Diskstation DS918+ and PIA.

I followed the manual, but do get the following error message:
Error: portTested: http error 0: No Response
(full error message below)

I used the configuration as described in the manual:

docker run \
          --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
          --device=/dev/net/tun \
          -d \
          -v /volume1/system/tun/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf \
          -v /volume1/docker/torrents/:/data \
          -e "OPENVPN_PROVIDER=PIA" \
          -e "OPENVPN_CONFIG=Switzerland" \
          -e "OPENVPN_USERNAME=XXXXX" \
          -e "OPENVPN_PASSWORD=XXXXX" \
          -e "LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/24" \
          -e "OPENVPN_OPTS=--inactive 3600 --ping 10 --ping-exit 60" \
          -e "PGID=100" \
          -e "PUID=1234" \
          -p 9091:9091 \
          -p 8888:8888 \
          --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 \
          --name "transmission-openvpn-syno" \
          haugene/transmission-openvpn:latest

and the file resolv.conf looks like this:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

I saw that there's a similar closed issue here, but I do have the link to the nameservers, so I'm not sure why it's not working for me.
Any help is appreciated.

Yup. Having this same problem on my Synology AND Windows version of docker. Been going on for 4 or 5 days now. Can't connect to any outside peers.

Hi, your transmission user can read /volume1/system/tun/resolv.conf?
Try use

--dns 8.8.8.8 \
--dns 8.8.4.4 \

instead of
-v /volume1/system/tun/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf \

Seems like it is solved by @evsasha! Closing for now until any issues arise.

I'm seeing this issue, despite DNS being set. This is on an rpi4.

What can I give to help debug?
