Wireguard and Transmission with WebUI

This project creates a Docker image that bundles Wireguard and Transmission. It sets up networking in a way that ensures Transmission traffic is always routed through the VPN.

Work in progress

This image is under construction. Breaking changes might occur without warning!

If you're already running an instance of haugene/transmission-openvpn, I would not recommend swapping your installation for this image just yet. Please test it and report any issues.

Quick start

The new image differs a bit from the old, and I'll hopefully get to document that better soon. But from the "getting it to run" perspective, the first things that come to mind are:

  • You need to mount a config file
  • It requires running in privileged mode

This might change, but this is how it's running now.

I've also changed the Transmission settings handling a bit. The container will still accept environment variables, but defaults are read from a file. This is to de-clutter the Dockerfile a bit. There are still a handful of default settings being set as ENV variables in the Dockerfile to get the PUID/PGID working like it used to. I'll try to clean up that as well.

If you're already running the old image, I'd recommend setting the ports option to: - 9092:9091. That way you'll map it to port 9092 locally and you can have them both running at the same time.

Example Docker Compose file:

services:
  transmission-wireguard:
    # No versioned tags yet, pulling latest build from the main branch.
    image: haugene/transmission-wireguard:main
    container_name: wg-main
    privileged: true
    ports:
      - 9091:9091
    volumes:
      - /your/storage/path/:/data # where transmission will store downloads
      - /your/config/path/:/config # where transmission-home (state) is stored
      - /your/wireguard-configs/:/wg-config/ # example mount for wireguard configs
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - CONFIG_FILE=/wg-config/my_wg.conf  # A config file within your wireguard config mount
    logging:
      driver: json-file
      options:
        max-size: 10m
