gluetun: Bug: Mullvad SERVER_COUNTRIES or SERVER_CITIES value errors

Is this urgent?

Host OS

Arch

CPU arch

x86_64

VPN service provider

Mullvad

What are you using to run the container

docker-compose

What is the version of Gluetun

Running version latest built on 2023-05-25T12:12:44.932Z (commit a43973c)

What’s the problem 🤔

Latest commit i think it uses only lower case server cities/countries, which breaks the check.

how exactly can i revert using docker?

Instead of tag :latest use :v3.34

The latest image qmcgaw/gluetun was fixed a few minutes ago by 7e325715c7a24da73447b29cec94b207bd950745. The regression was introduced 2 days ago with a43973c093662c2b5521eb2e9e3aea053584e96b which did compare text taking care about case sensitivity (gluetun lowercases everything inputted, but keeps servers data text with case sensitivity). My apologies for the delay fixing it, obviously, and thank you for reporting the issue 🎖️

Just in case you are not aware, you can use released docker images such as qmcgaw/gluetun:v3 or qmcgaw/gluetun:v3.34.1 which should be more stable than the latest image qmcgaw/gluetun. I always appreciate users using the latest image since this helps fix bugs before bringing them to a stable release which would end up unstable, so ideally keep using the latest image 😉

qmcgaw/gluetun:v3

Does qmcgaw/gluetun:v3 reference stable? Sorry I just have a NAS for my media server and use tutorials to install these things. 😋

tl;dr for your use case qmcgaw/gluetun:v3.34.1 would be considered the latest stable version.

@qdm12, I believe follows a Semantic-ish versioning method. Where, for example using v3.34.1, v3 would be the Major release version number, 34 is the Minor version number, and 1 is the Patch version number.

If you are using qmcgaw/gluetun:latest, you will receive all alpha/beta/rc releases in between the more stable major, minor, or patch release. Unless you are running a business that requires as little downtime as possible the latest patch release (v3.34.1) should be sufficient for reliable stability. Whereas the aforementioned business would likely opt for either the major (v3) or minor (v3.34.0) for greater stability. I, personally, can’t recount many, if any at all, times where a patch release of gluetun was broken. I’m sure I’m wrong but I’m not far off if I am.

IMHO, homelabs, unless running a business, should be fine running the latest patch release is more than sufficient. Personally, most of my containers run on :latest. Homelabs are supposed to be fun and exciting, right? 😉 Plus, you get the added benefit of supporting and being a part of an amazing community.

rolling back to 3.34 works in the mean time
