Dockerized Transmission with NordVPN
This was a bit of an experiment to see what could be accomplished. The
container runs nordvpnd
so you can do the following to get the container to
connect to the vpn:
make up
make enter
nordvpn connect
This will connect your container to the vpn and you can confirm this with the
curl ipinfo.io
. This was my first goal so that I don't constantly lock myself
out of machines. Docker creates a volume so that nord's data can persist in
between container restarts.
Now that the container has the networking taken care of, you can run
transmission-daemon
inside the container to launch transmission. I've created
another volume so that transmission will place downloaded files into the
downloads
folder.
