These containers need attention on my SparkBox: byparr (stopped), gluetun (stopped), prowl
Posted by Chris73
My question: These containers need attention on my SparkBox: byparr (stopped), gluetun (stopped), prowlarr (stopped), qbittorrent (stopped), radarr (stopped), sabnzbd (stopped), sonarr (stopped). What's wrong and can you fix them? SparkBox AI replied: I skipped "Bring the whole stack up (sparkbox up) (runs as an approved repair on your box, up to 10 minutes)" because confirmation timed out. What I still need help with: i have surfshark but it doesnt want to start up after putting in private key

The likely cause is that Surfshark WireGuard needs both the private key and the Address from its configuration; the key alone is not enough. SparkBox 1.6.850 is now available and detects a missing Address. Update to 1.6.850 with sudo sparkbox update, then run sudo sparkbox up. In the VPN settings, make sure the Address from your Surfshark WireGuard configuration is entered as well as the key; SparkBox's example is 10.14.0.2/16. The AI repair shown in your post was skipped after its confirmation timed out, so it did not change your box. Please tell me whether the settings accept the Address after the update, and don't post your key here.

Sorry, I gave you the wrong command earlier. sudo sparkbox update only refreshes your apps. It does not update SparkBox itself; the command for that is sudo sparkbox upgrade. Here's why your VPN won't start. Surfshark's WireGuard needs two things from the config file Surfshark gives you: the PrivateKey and the Address (for Surfshark this is usually 10.14.0.2/16). With only the key saved, the VPN stops as soon as it starts. Every download app goes online through the VPN, so they all stay stopped too. One thing to check: open http://<your box address:8443/classic-visit?open=vpn, make sure both the private key and the Address from your Surfshark WireGuard config are filled in, and press Save. SparkBox restarts the download apps by itself. If the VPN card is still red a few minutes later, tell me what it says. Please don't post your key. We've corrected what our assistant knows so the next person gets this right the first time.
