This container contains OpenVPN and Transmission with a configuration where Transmission is running only when OpenVPN has an active tunnel. It bundles configuration files for many popular VPN providers to make the setup easier.

This image was created for my own use, but sharing is caring, so it had to be open source. It has now gotten quite popular, and that's great! But keeping it up to date, providing support, fixes and new features takes a lot of time.
I'm therefore kindly asking you to donate if you feel like you're getting a good tool and you're able to spare some dollars to keep it functioning as it should. There's a couple of ways to do it:
Become a patron, supporting the project with a small monthly amount.
Make a one time donation through PayPal.
Or use this referral code to DigitalOcean and get 25$ in credits, if you're interested in a cloud setup.
You can also help out by submitting pull-requests or helping others with open issues or in the gitter chat. A big thanks to everyone who has contributed so far! And if you could be interested in joining as collaborator, let me know.

You must set the environment variables OPENVPN_PROVIDER, OPENVPN_USERNAME and OPENVPN_PASSWORD to provide basic connection details.
The OPENVPN_CONFIG is an optional variable. If no config
is given, a default config will be selected for the provider you have chosen. Find available OpenVPN configurations by looking in the openvpn folder of the GitHub repository. The value that you
should use here is the filename of your chosen openvpn configuration without the .ovpn file extension. For example:
-e "OPENVPN_CONFIG=ipvanish-AT-Vienna-vie-c02"
You can also provide a comma separated list of openvpn configuration filenames. If you provide a list, a file will be randomly chosen in the list, this is useful for redundancy setups. For example:
-e "OPENVPN_CONFIG=ipvanish-AT-Vienna-vie-c02,ipvanish-FR-Paris-par-a01,ipvanish-DE-Frankfurt-fra-a01"
This is a list of providers that are bundled within the image. Feel free to create an issue if your provider is not on the list, but keep in mind that some providers generate config files per user. This means that your login credentials are part of the config an can therefore not be bundled. In this case you can use the custom provider setup described later in this readme. The custom provider setting can be used with any provider.
