Docker-transmission-openvpn: PIA provider failing to download config files

[glitchcrab]

Describe the problem

Using 3.2, the container fails to start (it was working previously with the same image/config). Narrowed the issue down to this line: https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn/blob/master/openvpn/pia/configure-openvpn.sh#L27

I can't reproduce it outside of the container though - curling the file and then unzipping it with the commands used in configure-openvpn.sh works just fine.

Add your docker run command

Yes, the script you're referring to (on master) is working. But the one in 3.2 is not. PIA changed the links to their configs. See #1548
You can either pull and run the latest image, or set PIA_OPENVPN_CONFIG_BUNDLE=openvpn which will fix it for 3.2 as well. It used to be called openvpn-nextgen, but after the migration they removed -nextgen. That is the new default in the newer builds.

I should have guessed that this was caused by PIA in some way :roll_eyes: thanks for the explanation!
