What does HackerNews think of docker-transmission-openvpn?
Docker container running Transmission torrent client with WebUI over an OpenVPN tunnel
Language:
Shell
#35
in
Docker
This is a plug-and-play solution bundling Transmission and the most common VPN configurations in a Docker container, ensuring that all torrent traffic goes via an active VPN connection. After configuring it, you just run "docker-compose up" and can then access Transmission via its web UI. It could be nice to have this built into the client, but using a container feels safer.
I run transmission web in a docker container which connects to a VPN on startup. It can connect to many popular VPN providers. That way my home connection is for normal browsing, and all my Linux torrents are limited to that container.
Transmission is a much better option imo, mainly because this amazing container exists: https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn
Of course, the idea has been used with other clients, but I have yet to find a more complete solution.

A good reminder to Dockerize + VPN

put that on any cloud vm and you have peace of mind + good internet speed.
This may be overkill for some people, but if you have a VPN and use docker somewhere at home you can check out this container: https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn
I run it on a really old low-power PC and it's been very nice...I can even access it remotely wherever I am.
