Issues with Gluetun and Portainer

1. Gluetun is the best and works great.

2. and 3. You should read carefully here: https://hub.docker.com/r/qmcgaw/gluetun everything here is very detailed and clear.

So I went back and reread those guides twice, and I still ran into the same problem that as soon as I deployed the container I was no longer able to access my server, not the OMV local dashboard, nor WETTY, nor Portainer, probably because they stopped being on the local network. I wasn't able to access what I hoped was the Glueton dashboard at port 8888 of my local IP or port 8388

Even after typing in via USB keyboard "docker kill Glueton" I was not able to access OMV until I rebooted the server.

I don't want my whole server on a VPN right now just want to set this up to run a few different containers through it.

Attached is my docker compose with redacted info for my username and PW.

I can't speak for gluetun (I tried it a while ago and deployed it in a similar way as I describe below without issue)... but I believe you need to learn to use network modes on your other containers.... Here, I routed prowlarr, etc. through my transmission container (which is routed behind my VPN provider, PIA)

So first I set up haugene-transmission with my PIA account...

version: '2.1'
services:
 transmission-openvpn:
    container_name: transvpn
    volumes:
        - /path/to/downloads:/data
        - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
        - PUID=YOUR_PUID
        - PGID=100
        - CREATE_TUN_DEVICE=true
        - OPENVPN_PROVIDER=PIA
        - PIA_OPENVPN_CONFIG_BUNDLE=openvpn
        - OPENVPN_CONFIG=us_florida
        - OPENVPN_USERNAME=YOUR_PIA_USERNAME
        - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=YOUR_PIA_PASSWORD
        - DISABLE_PORT_UPDATER=true
        - TRANSMISSION_WEB_UI=transmission-web-control
        - OPENVPN_OPTS=--inactive 3600 --ping 10 --ping-exit 60
        - WEBPROXY_ENABLED=false
        - LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24
    cap_add:
        - NET_ADMIN
    logging:
        driver: json-file
        options:
            max-size: 10m
    ports:
        - 9091:9091
    restart: always
    image: haugene/transmission-openvpn

Deployed, and made sure it was working and I was behind my VPN

Now, using prowlarr as an example, since I want it to route behind my VPN...

Docker

(You can see from the above, prowlarr runs on port 9696)

So next I made a stack for prowlarr (see notes below)

version: "2.1"
services:
  prowlarr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/prowlarr:develop
    container_name: prowlarr
    network_mode: container:transvpn
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=100
      - TZ=US/EST
    volumes:
      - /path/to/config:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

Note:

1. My network mode, this is what tells it what container to route through (transvpn, as that is the name of my transmissionvpn container)

2. There is no port section on the prowlarr compose file.

Now, I deployed the prowlarr stack, obviously with no port settings, it's not going to work.

So I went back to my transmission stack, and added 9696:9696 to the port settings for transmission.. so it looks like this

   ports:
        - 9091:9091
        - 9696:9696

I then redeployed transmission.

Once I was done, I had to restart prowlarr, then I bashed to prowlarr and checked the containers public IP, and found that it was properly routing through my transmission container since they had the same public IP. At this point I'd also be able to access the prowlarr webUI

Say I wanted to deploy sonarr through my VPN...

Docker

Same thing... I would adjust the stack with the proper network mode, and then remove the port settings and deploy. Once that was done, I would add Sonarr's port (8989) to my tranmission stack and redeploy transmission. Once transmission redeployed, restart Sonarr. After that, I bashed into sonarr and made sure it's public IP was the same as my transmission container. At this point, I'd be able to access the sonarr webUI

It's really pretty easy when you get the hang of it.

Hope that helps
