Help setting up the proxy to access the WebGUI remotely

Hi all,

So like some others I'm struggling with making this work properly. It's been a long steady road but I'm wanting to allow access to transmission that doesn't require me connecting to my home network over VNC.

I've got port forwarding to work with a lot of stuff like Sonarr and Radarr, but no Transmission and I've stumbled across the proxy solution however I am STUMPED, I saw one post of people just runnning:

"docker run -d
--link transmission-openvpn:transmission
-p 8080:8080
haugene/transmission-openvpn-proxy"

and this links the two together. Oddly when I try to run that, even if I match the name exactly, docker throws an error saying no container named that.

It also seems possible to add this to the file itself, however again I'm not sure exactly where to put it.

My current docker script is:

sudo docker run --name=transmission \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN -d \
--restart=always \
-v /XXX \
-v /XXX \
-v /XXX \
-v /XXX \
-v /XXX \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-e CREATE_TUN_DEVICE=true \
-e OPENVPN_PROVIDER=XXX \
-e OPENVPN_CONFIG=CA\ XXX \
-e OPENVPN_USERNAME=XXX \
-e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=XXX \
-e WEBPROXY_ENABLED=false \
-e TRANSMISSION_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/data \
-e LOCAL_NETWORK=XXX/24 \
--log-driver json-file \
--log-opt max-size=10m \
-p 9091:9091 \
haugene/transmission-openvpn:latest-armhf

I'm sure I'm just messing something up and it's an easy fix. and I have tried a billion different name options when running the docker command on its own, no dice.

Figured it out - if anyone wants to sort this I detailed it here:
