VPN config now restarts media containers automatically
Posted by tomspark
Found and fixed a race condition in v1.5.42 where saving VPN credentials wouldn't restart the media containers, leaving gluetun crash-looping with 'private key is not set' even though the .env values were correct. This happened most often on fresh installs when you enabled media before adding VPN settings, or during retry flows. Now when you save VPN config via any dashboard path—Home Edit modal, Settings Network panel, or the media retry popup—we automatically restart media in the background so it picks up the fresh credentials within 20-40 seconds. The HTTP response returns instantly so you won't see any lag. Check the Updates tab in your dashboard to pull the new version, and if you hit any issues, post here in d/sparkbox. --- Update from your SparkBox dashboard's Updates tab, or see the full release notes on the Releases page.
