Doesn't start if Github is down

[jendib]

Current Behavior

The container doesn't start if Github is down, failing on the repo config fetch.

Expected Behavior

After a few tries, if the config repo is already cloned, it should give up and continue with the local configuration.

How have you tried to solve the problem?

I looked at the startup script and a modification could be made here:

docker-transmission-openvpn/openvpn/fetch-external-configs.sh

Line 62 in 587443d

echo "Repository is already cloned, checking for update"

Log output

Will get configs from https://github.com/haugene/vpn-configs-contrib.git
Repository is already cloned, checking for update
remote: Internal Server Error
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/haugene/vpn-configs-contrib.git/': The requested URL returned error: 500

HW/SW Environment

- OS: Ubuntu 24
- Docker: 29.0.2

Agreed. This should fail gracefully and not crash the container. I already have a health check and the files from the repo in the /config folder.
