I am new to this. I have installed docker on my Raspi. I am trying to install transmission on the docker. I use the following;

docker run --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -d \--name=transmission \-v /mnt/extDrive1:/data \-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \-e CREATE_TUN_DEVICE=true \-e OPENVPN_PROVIDER=EXPRESSVPN \-e OPENVPN_CONFIG=my_expressvpn_uk_-_london_udp \-e OPENVPN_USERNAME=XXX\-e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=XXX \-e WEBPROXY_ENABLED=false \-e LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0 \--log-driver json-file \--log-opt max-size=10m \-p 9091:9091 \haugene/transmission-openvpn

I go through the debug on https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/debug/

All is fine until I get to the section 'Checking if Transmission is running'.

When I run docker ps, there are no containers in the list.

What have I done wrong? Ultimately, I am trying to access transmission through localhost:9091.

Edit: So I have made some progress, but still having issues;

docker start transmission temporarily. populates the container ID

docker exec -it <container-id> bash comes up with the following error:

Error response from daemon: Container XXXX is not running

It seems that container is exiting out as you are not running it in the detached mode. Try this:

docker run -itd --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -d \--name=transmission \-v /mnt/extDrive1:/data \-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \-e CREATE_TUN_DEVICE=true \-e OPENVPN_PROVIDER=EXPRESSVPN \-e OPENVPN_CONFIG=my_expressvpn_uk_-_london_udp \-e OPENVPN_USERNAME=XXX\-e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=XXX \-e WEBPROXY_ENABLED=false \-e LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0 \--log-driver json-file \--log-opt max-size=10m \-p 9091:9091 \haugene/transmission-openvpn
