Here are the steps to run it on a Synology NAS (Tested on DSM 6) : - Connect as _admin_ to your Synology SSH - Switch to root with command `sudo su -` - Enter your _admin_ password when prompted - Create a TUN.sh file anywhere in your synology file system by typing `vim /volume1/foldername/TUN.sh` replacing _foldername_ with any folder you created on your Synology. You will also need to replace `foldername` for the commands in the remainder of this guide. - Paste @timkelty 's script : ``` #!/bin/sh # Create the necessary file structure for /dev/net/tun if ( [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ] ); then if ( [ ! -d /dev/net ] ); then mkdir -m 755 /dev/net fi mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 chmod 0755 /dev/net/tun fi # Load the tun module if not already loaded if ( !(lsmod | grep -q "^tun\s") ); then insmod /lib/modules/tun.ko fi ``` - Save the file with [escape] + `:wq!` - Go in the folder containing your script : `cd /volume1/foldername/` - Check permission with `chmod 0755 TUN.sh` - Run it with `./TUN.sh` - Return to initial directory typing `cd` - Create the DNS config file by typing `vim /volume1/foldername/resolv.conf` - Paste the following lines : ``` nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 ``` - Save the file with [escape] + `:wq!` - Create your Docker container with the following command. Note the following things you should change or may want to consider changing: - If you'd like any Transmission options (for instance, stop seeding once a certain ratio has been reached) to persist across container restarts, now is the time to enter them by modifying the command below. See [here](https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/arguments/#transmission_configuration_options) for details. - You must change the folder paths for the paths listed in the following command. - You must also specify the UID and GID of the user Transmission should run. The placeholder provided below almost certainly will not work on your system without modification. ``` # Tested on DSM 6.1.4-15217 Update 1, Docker Package 17.05.0-0349 docker run \ --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \ --device=/dev/net/tun \ -d \ -v /volume1/foldername/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf \ -v /volume1/yourpath/:/data \ -e "OPENVPN_PROVIDER=PIA" \ -e "OPENVPN_CONFIG=CA\ Toronto" \ -e "OPENVPN_USERNAME=XXXXX" \ -e "OPENVPN_PASSWORD=XXXXX" \ -e "LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/24" \ -e "OPENVPN_OPTS=--inactive 3600 --ping 10 --ping-exit 60" \ -e "PGID=100" \ -e "PUID=1234" \ -p 9091:9091 \ --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 \ --name "transmission-openvpn-syno" \ haugene/transmission-openvpn:latest ``` - To make it work after a nas restart, create an automated task in your synology web interface : go to **Settings Panel > Task Scheduler ** create a new task that run `/volume1/foldername/TUN.sh` as root (select '_root_' in 'user' selectbox). This task will start module that permit the container to run, you can make a task that run on startup. These kind of task doesn't work on my nas so I just made a task that run every minute. - Enjoy
