This might be of help to you

This repo has a lot of pre-made docker compose files. I'd recommend starting with AdGuard-Home, Homer, Watchtower, and Code-Server (if you code).

I consolidated all the docker-compose + any additional configuration files for these apps on GitHub to serve as reference. Here's the link to the repo - https://github.com/abhilesh/self-hosted_docker_setups

Here's the docker-compose - https://github.com/abhilesh/self-hosted_docker_setups/tree/main/vikunja

Here's mine to serve as an example - https://github.com/abhilesh/self-hosted_docker_setups/tree/main/wallabag

Here's the config file for Homer, I use a yaml file but it can be easily converted to json - https://github.com/abhilesh/self-hosted_docker_setups/blob/main/homer/config.yml

I am consolidating the docker-compose files for my setup here - https://github.com/abhilesh/self-hosted_docker_setups

I use SurfShark's VPN services so here's my docker-compose file with the entire *Arr stack and two torrent clients connected through the VPN - https://github.com/abhilesh/self-hosted_docker_setups/tree/main/surfshark

I would try the absolute path of the script and see if that does it for you. I'm running transmission on docker using haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and that's the absolute path within the container, but YMMV if you're running the program somewhere/somehow else.

I haven’t used GlueTUN so can’t help unfortunately but I do use this one - https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and it seems easier and safer (the container stops if the VPN is down)

Both of the main docker images I know of are managed by 3rd parties so they don't get updated instantly. Looks like haugene/transmission-openvpn added 4.0.0 to their beta branch a few hours ago

Some vpns are built into docker containers, such as https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

Look into docker containers that have kill switches like this one

It starts with use a vpn to download, the service is less than $2 per month. And if you want to get fancy, this git is sweet https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

If you don't have a local server in your home you can leave connected to VPN 24/7 I'd recommend doing it all through a docker container on your computer. That'll let you keep it on VPN without needing to put everything else on VPN. You could even set up two docker containers. One for the VPN and one for the torrent client, then when you turn on VPN for your regular stuff on the machine you can tunnel through that VPN without needing two take up two device slots. Here's just one option for it. But there are tons of options pre built. https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn Alternatively you could always set up your own if you have the know how.
