I think there is no topic just for Transmission Openvpn addon, so I am posting here. I am still trying to figure out why my HA crashes when running torrents (Help needed: Running Transmission/qBittorrent add-on crashes the Home Assistant OS almost instantly). I checked the logs of Transmission and see some strange errors there, so I want to share the logs:
- It looks like Transmission starts “update to v3” every time I run it - why?
- There is a warning that TRANSMISSION_HOME is not set to the default location, but I did not change it. Should I follow the instructions to move it?
- Two more warnings regarding NordVPN config - NORDVPN_COUNTRY empty and NORDVPN_CATEGORY empty.
