This Docker container lets you run Transmission with WebUI while connecting to PIA VPN. It updates Transmission hourly with assigned open port from PIA. Please read the instructions below.

The only mandatory configuration is to set two environment variables for your PIA username and password. You must set the environment variables `PIA_USERNAME` and `PIA_PASSWORD` to your login credentials. The container will connect to the Private Internet Access VPN servers in Netherlands by default.
NB: Instructions on how to use your own Transmission settings, and how to connect to the WebUI, is further down in the README.

# Building the container yourself
PS: `TRANSMISSION_BIND_ADDRESS_IPV4` will be overridden to the IP assigned to tunnel interface by PIA. This is to prevent leaking of the host IP.

As described in the "Run container from Docker registry" section, this will start a container with default settings. This means that you should have the folders "completed, incomplete and watch" in /your/storage/path, and pia-credentials.txt in /your/config/path.
### Access the WebUI
## Access the WebUI
But what's going on? My http://my-host:9091 isn't responding?
This is because the VPN is active, and since docker is running in a different ip range than your client the response to your request will be treated as "non-local" traffic and therefore be routed out through the VPN interface.

From there you can start the service yourself, or do whatever (probably developer-related) you came to do.
## Controlling Transmission remotely
The container exposes /config as a volume. This is the directory where the supplied transmission and PIA credentials will be stored. If you have transmission authentication enabled and want scripts in another container to access and control the transmission-daemon, this can be a handy way to access the credentials.
For example, another container may pause or restrict transmission speeds while the server is streaming video.
