Transmission Container not running as User & Group specified in config

Apps and Virtualization
1

I am working with a TrueNAS SCALE (24.10 EE) device. Prior to now, I was using the IX-provided container for Transmission without issue, but I recently decided I wanted a bit more control over my own setup, so I am in the process of moving my containers over to ones manage by Dockge instead.

When setting up Transmission under Dockge, I have specified the User & Group IDs as 568, but when the container runs, it’s running them as 911 as seen in the console. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Compose file:

services:
  transmission:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/transmission:latest
    container_name: transmission
    environment:
      - PUID=568
      - PGID=568
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - USER=(Redacted)
      - PASS=(Redacted)
    volumes:
      - /mnt/data/apps/transmission/config:/config
      - /mnt/data/torrents:/downloads
      - /mnt/data/torrents/watch:/watch
    ports:
      - 30096:9091
      - 51413:51413
      - 51413:51413/udp
    restart: unless-stopped

I am running the ix-apps version and I have no issues there. The ix-apps version also sets UID,USER_ID and GID variables in addition to PUID and PGID. No clue if that has any effect.

ix-app version is running on version 4.0.6-r0-ls264:

───────────────────────────────────────

Thank you - I asked on the LinuxServer.io forums and was promptly met with a “We don’t support TrueNAS or Dockge”.

Thank you for the find, I’ll update in the Bug on GitHub.
