How to Check the Version Number

[shawn8888]

I would like to know the version of docker-transmission-openvpn and the corresponding version of Transmission it is utilizing. I believe the latest version for the docker container is v5.0.2, and for Transmission, it is v4.0.3. Could you please guide me on how to confirm these versions?

Thank you!

For this container:
https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn/releases
Check what image you are using in your compose or run command..
Regarding transmission, depends on your UI, but I believe it’s also in the logs or home directory

what command should I run to confirm the version I am running?
I use Transmission Remote GUI to connect. It doesn't show what version of Transmission it connects to.

[pkishino]

if you use the official UI it shows up on the web..otherwise in the logs..
But if you use a specific : of this container, the release notes specify the version..

I do download the "latest" tag image.
"transmission-remote -V" works for checking the Transmission version. It would be nice to have a way to verify the version number of the container as well.

from within the container:

root@f40cde7227f4:/app# transmission-remote -V
transmission-remote 4.0.3 (6b0e49bbb2)
root@f40cde7227f4:/app# transmission-daemon -V
transmission-daemon 4.0.3 (6b0e49bbb2)

or with another web ui:

Thank you! It works!
Any idea how to verify the docker container's version number?

Revision is in the container logs.. Instead of grabbing :latest it is recommended to use a tagged release..

Sorry pkishino, but I cannot find it in the container logs.
I used the command
docker logs transmission1 -f --tail 100
I don't see anything related to the version number.

[pkishino]

It’s in the logs when the container starts up

I restarted the container and didn't find it.
What's yours look like? Just the line with the version#.

[pkishino]

yes it is there..its the first line printed:
Starting container with revision: 1103172

[shawn8888]

How to locate the first line of the log after a restart?
I also tried to search key word "revision" and I found nothing:
docker logs transmission1 -f --tail 100 2>&1 |grep revision
What key word should I look for?

Also, why do you not recommend :latest tag? I thought it means the latest stable version. Is that not true?
I just checked
https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/haugene/transmission-openvpn/tags
And both tag latest and 5.0.2 show "last pushed 2 months ago". It looks like they are the same thing.

[pkishino]

Remove the tail 100… Stop container, Clear the logs, then start it again.. is the First entry

@pkishino Thank you!
I finally see it in logs! :
+ echo 'Starting container with revision: a4d65774f855a04070766e53346661f48c76fa0e'
However, it looks like a hash code rather than a plain version number, such as 5.0.2.

[pkishino]

It’s the git commit hash.. Again, as I mentioned before. Use :<tag> instead of :latest instead. Then you get the tagged version.
