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.
