Docker-transmission-openvpn: running a script inside the container

[b0red]

I'm trying to run the addtracker-script inside the container, but it seems like it's not working, stops at the first line of the script: Fail on transmission. Aborting.
I moved the script inside the container with: docker cp addtracker.sh transmission-vpn:/bin/ and it's executable (-rwxr-xr-x), and residing in the /bin folder in the container.
Any tips?

Had a quick look at the script.
The error you get indicates, that there is something wrong with transmission-remote, as the test call does not exit with 0.

What output do you get if you manually run transmission-remote -l; echo "EXIT CODE: $?" within the container?
Which tag/arch are you using?

Running transmission-remote -l; echo "EXIT CODE: $?" gives me the following;
Unexpected response: <h1>401: Unauthorized</h1>Unauthorized User�V EXIT CODE: 1 l
So it seems like some kind of authentication error?
I'm running image: haugene/transmission-openvpn. Guess it's the latest?

I guess you've set TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME and TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD? Doesn't seem like that script supports authentication being enabled.

Yes, username/password is set. It might be that, have to check with the script's author then. Thanx for checking though.

Then that's it. Should be a relatively quick fix for you though. Just modify this line of the script:
https://github.com/oilervoss/transmission/blob/master/addtracker.sh#L8

We're also using transmission-remote in this project to update with open port for PIA. To use it with auth the line should be like this: https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn/blob/master/transmission/updatePort.sh#L90

Where $myauth is set like this: https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn/blob/master/transmission/updatePort.sh#L71

In sum: Add --auth username:password to line 8 of your script and it should work...
