Transmission not starting in container

[sgtsquiggs]

Not sure what's up, maybe a script is erroring out before it actually starts transmission. Here's the log:

Here's what I get when executing transmission-daemon manually:

[/share/Containers/transmission/transmission-home] # docker exec -it transmission /bin/bash
root@61f88f0d6b19:/# exec /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -g ${TRANSMISSION_HOME} -f
Fatal: no entropy gathering module detected
[/share/Containers/transmission/transmission-home] #

And I've solved this.

root@61f88f0d6b19:/# ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random
root@61f88f0d6b19:/# exec /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -g ${TRANSMISSION_HOME} --logfile ${TRANSMISSION_HOME}/transmission.log -f
^CClosing transmission session... done.
[/share/Containers/transmission/transmission-home] #

I'll be submitting a PR to symlink /dev/urandom to /dev/random in /etc/transmission/start.sh

Fatal: no entropy gathering module detected error fixed, but the container still won't successfully launch transmission. I see no errors in the log.

If I run transmission in the container manually from a shell, it starts successfully.

[/share/Containers/transmission/transmission-home] # docker exec -it transmission /bin/bash
root@61f88f0d6b19:/# /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -g ${TRANSMISSION_HOME} &

False alarm, the original fix does indeed fix this issue. I am just not very familiar with docker.
