Transmission web ui doesn't see completed torrents even though they are mounted in the container

[OvermindThe]

Hello,

Recently I had to move my docker to another machine and since then I've been having some problems.
This is the version that I'm using:
haugene/transmission-openvpn latest 49fc71236a76 10 days ago 259MB

And this is my docker-compose which used to work (probably on the previous version of the image)
version: '3.3' services: transmission-openvpn: cap_add: - NET_ADMIN volumes: - '/media/share/torrent:/data' environment: - OPENVPN_CONFIG=config - OPENVPN_PROVIDER=PROTONVPN - OPENVPN_USERNAME=xxxxxx - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=xxxxxxx - LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/16 logging: driver: json-file options: max-size: 10m ports: - '9091:9091' image: haugene/transmission-openvpn restart: unless-stopped

However since I've started using this config on another machine my transmission web ui doesn't see completed torrents there.
I've checked in the container if the files get mounted correctly and they are - I can see the files there but they are not visible in the web ui.
They are in the /data/completed and /data/incomplete within the container
Also downloading files work - and they are getting persisted on my share, however when I restart docker image they are gone as well.

I've looked at the documentation http://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/ and the sample config looks the same.
Does the data folder need to have specific permissions for them to be correctly detected by transmission web ui?

Thank You for your help.

I think you're having the same problem I was having after the recent update. Downloading worked fine, but any config or previous downloads do not persist when restarting the container.

After some digging, I found that config has been extracted into a separate folder, so you need to mount an additional volume to persist the config. Try adding /path/to/config:/config to your list of volumes, where /path/to/config is a folder on your device that contains the transmission-home folder. That's what fixed it for me.

Thanks for this! I had recently updated my config because I had to change my VPN, but that was the only thing that changed. After that, all of my completed torrents were missing. After adding the additional volume for /config, all the torrents are back. The interesting thing is that both /data and /config are now pointing to the same directory on the host file system.
