using qnap to install, but getting an openvpn error

[kyrusdemnati]

i am using the contrainer station,

Starting container with revision: 20877f1
Creating TUN device /dev/net/tun
mknod: /dev/net/tun: File exists
ERROR: Cannot determine where to find your OpenVPN config. Both OPENVPN_CONFIG_URL and OPENVPN_PROVIDER is unset.
You have to either provide a URL to the config you want to use, or set a configured provider that will download one for you.
Exiting...

please help, as i would love to use tranmission with a secure vpn via a docker image

[pkishino]

a few comments:

• qnap is notoriously bad for this as it actively tries to kill the openvpn process from what I heard
• please post your complete config you are using
• please read the documentation for this container on how to set it up

i am getting this error, i am installing via qnap.

just the log is not very helpful..please read my comment above and provide the config

[pkishino]

also..if you had checked the documentation you would have seen that airvpn is NOT on the provider list, so if you want to use it you have to setup a custom provider..ALSO detailed in the documentation.

( i am installing on a qnap nas device via the container station) i have default.opvn file transferred over to the nas too ( i am using airvpn which is a single file) , but i don;t know what directory this needs to go into... as per your question here is the log
