Bug: How is servers.json created?

[ezekieldas]

Is this urgent?

No

Host OS

Ubuntu

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 2024-03-07T12:32:25.391Z (commit 3254fc8)

What's the problem 🤔

I brought this up in Discussions last year (see below) but haven't heard anything on it. Now I'm working with Mullvad and find the same issue: no Mexico servers in servers.json. While I understand how my container's servers.json is updated, how is this updated? https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/tree/master/internal/storage
Is there a reason why not all servers are being included?

Limited to:

Would like to see:

Mullvad servers are downloaded using this code:

gluetun/internal/provider/mullvad/updater/servers.go

Line 12 in 62158a1

func (u *Updater) FetchServers(ctx context.Context, minServers int) (

See also https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/faq/others.md#server-information (you can update servers yourself)

Then Gluetun merges servers it has "built-in" with servers you have bind mounted in /gluetun/servers.json, and picks the most recent one (by vpn provider timestamp).
