# 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.
