Will cease development of this image since there is a more clean way of doing this.

Check out my other repo here: https://github.com/SebDanielsson/compose-transmission-wireguard

docker-wireguard-transmission

Docker image for running Transmission over a WireGuard connection, based on Alpine Linux.

Changelog

2020-06-01: First release, most notable change since initial upload is the addition of two environemnt variables INTERFACE and KILLSWITCH. Read more about these in the usage section below.

Usage

• KILLSWITCH let's you bind Transmission to only use the assigned VPN IP. If you don't want to use it you only need to leave the environment variable empty.
• INTERFACE let's you customize which WireGuard config file that wg-quick will load. Default: wg0 which loads /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf via the choosen mount volume. (See: -v /path/to/wg-conf-dir)
• TRANSMISSION_ let's you overwrite any setting that is specified in /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json.

docker run

-e "TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD=transmission" \

To-Do

• [x] Configure Transmission kill switch dynamically on container creation
• [ ] Add multi arch support once Docker Hub automated builds supports it properly
