Slow downloads and data path issues

[TheLurch]

I have successfully setup the container using the following command:

sudo docker run --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -d -v /volume1/downloads/:/data -v /volume1/Docker/Qbittorrentvpn/config/:/config -v /volume1/downloads/Completed/:/data/completed -v /volume1/downloads/incomplete/:/data/incomplete -v /volume1/Docker/Qbittorrentvpn/config/openvpn/:/etc/openvpn/custom/ -e PUID=1001 -e PGID=1000 -e OPENVPN_PROVIDER=custom -e LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.50.0/24 --log-driver json-file --log-opt max-size=10m -p 9091:9091 haugene/transmission-openvpn

I am seeing 2 issues that I am trying to fix.

1. The downloads are not visible anywhere on the device even though the volumes have been created.
   I have tried with and without specifically assigning the completed and incomplet folder with no difference. Specifically setting PUID and PGID also makes no difference.

2. When doing a download through transmission it is extremely slow, it almost seems like it is losing connection to peers every few seconds. The transmission logs do not indicate any errors. Using the VPN connected via my Windows desktop the download speed of the same client is normal.

Any assistance or advice would be appreciated. I am a bit of a noob with docker but learning as I go.

1. check logs(both docker and transmission), not sure what platform you are running(windows?) but your config looks ok
2. try different ovpn? check the settings to check if e.g. utp is enabled (off is default I think) etc..
   is this only specific trackers or all?

Thank you for the response. I think I have resolved everything.

1. I had a typo in the volume I was assigning
2. I switched to a UDP connection, deleted the transmission install folder and recreated the container. Speeds seem good after this.

Things seem to be working but the container log is being spammed with a bunch of these errors:

Is this something to worry about or can it be ignored?

[pkishino]

You can mute this by adding —mute-replay-warnings to your openvpn_opts.
Nothing to worry about

All sorted, appreciate your help.
