Docker run config used

If you can't replicate this issue I can provide Portainer screenshots.

Current Behavior

Open Transmission in browser when using Flood UI, or refresh page, and error appears in log. Affects dev and latest back to 5.3.0; 5.2 is the latest unaffected build.

Checking the container, 5.2 has config.json, whereas 5.3.0 and onwards have config.json.defaults.

Expected Behavior

config.json exists

How have you tried to solve the problem?

Manually creating the file resolves the issue, but that's not exactly a great fix.

I see the same issue here..
nothing regarding flood has changed what I see, only transmission version up.. no time to dig into this for a while now though

This commit from @defkev / @johman10 appears to be the cause of the issue - johman10/flood-for-transmission@edb6e11

[defkev]

If my memory serves me right the final verdict here was to hardcode the defaults in an exportable module and load any customization from config.json (if present) and soft fail if that doesn't work (e.g. not present as in your case)

config.json.defaults mever gets loaded and only serves as a skeleton/template/starting point, e.g.: mv config.json.defaults config.json

Assuming this is logged by transmission-daemon (utls.cc) the error makes no sense as flood's config.json is loaded by your browser when accessing the frontend (http://host:9091) not transmission.

Edit:
I just pulled a fresh copy of johman10/flood-for-transmission on my seed box, copied my custom config.json and everything is working as expected.
