Hello all,

after setting up a new docker server following the very detailed tutorial of Anand at smarthomebeginner.com I am having trouble connecting my transmission-vpn to radarr and sonarr. I get the error "Unable to connect to Transmission".

radarr log says:

I feel like it may have something to do with socket-proxy but when I comment out the network socket_proxy in all three compose files, nothing changes.

Any ideas would be welcome!

You have the subnet set to 192.168.11.0 but in transmission you have set your LOCAL_NETWORK: 192.168.3.0/24

I just changed that and restarted those containers. However, transmission still can't be reached. I'm not sure though to which IP I should try to connect - my server IP of 192.168.3.3 still doesnt work but I don't know which IP is issued within the socket_proxy network.

here is the log after changing the LOCAL_NETWORK and restarting:

to wrap this up - it worked once I found out the internal IP of the Transmission-container on the respective network (usually in the range 172.17.0.0). I then realized that docker containers on the same network can talk to eachother using their name ("transmission-vpn" in my case). Using this as the hostname in the radarr/sonarr settings worked perfectly.
