Add missing variables and libraries

Fixes for:

• #1437
• #1453

And adds a help message when supplied OPENVPN_CONFIG file is not found.

Fixing issue with UFW and missing libraries

This release is a patch release that adds openssh to the container and fixes an issue where RPC / Web UI is unavailable when UFW is enabled.

Rewriting some core functionality and calling it 3.0

This is the first release on the 3.x series. We choose to bump a major version because there are some small changes that are not backwards compatible, but also because the core structure of the project has been refactored a lot.

The highlights of new functionality are:

• We're dropping the ubuntu based image and making alpine the default (reduce double maintenance)
• We're making Transmission settings persistent by default, removing the need for all the environment variables (but keeping support for it)
• We're making it easier to provide your own OpenVPN (.ovpn) config file - adding scripts in the container to modify provider configs as needed to fit the container setup. (still in early stages at this point)
• We're adding a standardized way to add scripts for doing necessary setup of a provider. This usually means to download a .ovpn config bundle, unpack it and modify it correctly to work in this container.

There is still some documentation to be produced and I hope that this marks the start of more productive maintenance as we try to move from maintaining .ovpn config files to maintaining scripts that can benefit across providers. Fingers crossed for some good new features going forward 😄

Minor fixes and dependency updates

I wrote that release 2.13 maybe was the latest on the 2.x track. Well, here's another.
There are some minor changes to the documentation and some scripts - and there are new versions of the alternative webUIs available that will be pulled and updated in this release.

But for the most part this serves as a tag to mark the end of 2.x for now. Will merge in the changes from dev and start 3.x. Hopefully that will be a smooth transition and we can leave 2.x be. If not we have this to branch off of 😄

That's it for now 😄

New and updated providers

This release is mainly new and updated provider configs:
ZoogVPN, FreeVPN, ProtonVPN, Hide.me, Usenetserver, IPVanish, Ivacy

And there's a new option DOCKER_LOG that if set to true will append Transmission logs to the Docker container log.

Upgraded base images, provider updates

In this release we've upgraded the base image for the ubuntu, alpine and armhf images.
ElasticTunnel is added as a provider and we have some other minor config changes

Better late than never

This release comes almost a year after the last one. There are new providers, stability fixes, NordVPN fetches config files dynamically and more.

I'm making this release primarily as a point-of-reference as I'm planning to get through the PRs that has been building up for a while. I haven't had time for the project, I've been postponing setting up a better build/release pipeline and it's time to do something about it.

Going forward I'll be aiming for more frequent releases and less PR build ups. It's better to merge small and often than big and rare.
