App configuration from before Electric Eel

Hi,
I have upgraded to Electric Eel. Since the use of gluetun is no longer supported ‘out of the box’, I am trying a different approach (using Dockge). I am using NordVpn as my vpn provider and I no longer seem to be able to get the right configuration for gluetun to work. Is it possible to see the gluetun configuration I had used for my apps before upgrading to Electric Eel? And if so, where could I find it?

Hello,

I’ve never used gluetun, but the principles for docker networking are well documentated, if you want to check it out there here.

I’ve just taken a look at the documentation for gluetun and its better than most in this space. Have you followed this nugget of gluetun documentation:

“gluetun-wiki/setup/connect-a-container-to-gluetun.md at main · qdm12/gluetun-wiki · GitHub”

Now, you might be able to see the old configuration, IIRC, they where in the ix-applications dataset of the pool you used “/mnt/<pool>/ix-applications”. But it might no longer exist and you’ll need to understand helm and kubernetes. For the app data itself, that will depend where you stored it.

I’d suggest forgetting about the old app config itself for gluetun because kubernetes networking is quite different than docker and I’m unsure how useful it would be.

There’s already a guide here on how to use gluetun with docker compose, example in the guide was qbittorrent.

Thanks for the replies. The problem is not setting up gluetun as such, but getting the right nordvpn configuration. They have changed the process somewhat and after filing a ticket they even state that it is now a feature they are working on for the future…
So since I already had the right nordvpn setup in my old application, I wanted to re-use them, as I know those where working.
I did find the ix-applications data, but could not really find the gluetun key and config. Could it be that this is stored elsewhere?

It should be in the ix-application, but i’m unsure in which file. it should be values.yaml inside the apps folder you used gluetun on. But it could also be that, since gluetun was created as a sidecar, it has it’s own values.yaml in a subfolder. I never used the vpn option with truecharts so im unsure.

what LarsR said… but to add, I did see a volume on the docker config, not sure what this is for gluetun, but I assume its config data.
