New to This -container sb-gluetun is unhealthy

Posted by homeserver_76

Hi, just installed Sparkbox. I am pleased with it so far. However, I am getting the error message that container sb-gluetun is unhealthy. Is there any way that I can just go back and fix the information required for the Wireguard stuff regarding my VPN. I am sure that is where the error is occurring. I am using Surfshark for which I already had an account. As soon as I get this glitch fixed I will be more than happy to subscribe to the box. I really am quite impressed by the box and the apps that are available. One other question, I can't get Portainer to open is that because of the forementioned gluetun error? Thanks!

This is usually just a VPN detail that needs re-entering, not something broken. In the dashboard go to Settings → Network → Edit VPN settings. For Surfshark, the WireGuard private key is one 44-character line ending in = — log into Surfshark → VPN → Manual setup → Router → WireGuard → Generate a new key pair, and copy just the Private key into the WireGuard private key field. Put the Address from that same Surfshark page in the WireGuard addresses field (Surfshark's is usually 10.14.0.2/16). Save, and the tunnel should turn healthy within a minute or two. Portainer is separate from the VPN, so gluetun isn't what's blocking it. Open it from its tile in the dashboard (or http://your-box-ip:9000) and log in as admin with the password SparkBox generated for you at install.
