What's the problem ๐ค
Server Updater overwrites my custom servers.json.
I use VPNsecure.Me and the servers in the built in server list (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qdm12/gluetun/master/internal/storage/servers.json) are out of date. I have a custom configuration file with the updated IP addresses of the servers I would like to use. When the container is created, or the periodic update is run, instead of "merging" the two files, the Updater completely overwrites my custom servers.json file and my VPN connection is never successful.

Please:
- do not ask for updates, be patient
- ๐ the issue to show your support instead of commenting
@qdm12 usually checks issues at least once a week, if this is a new urgent bug,
revert to an older tagged container image
the periodic update is run
This should update cleanly all servers data, is there anything wrong with it?
You can also update the servers data following https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/servers.md#update-using-the-command-line
Ideally, don't fiddle manually with the servers.json file.
Please subscribe to #2206 to be notified when the update mechanism is fixed (probably tomorrow I think), and this should resolve your problem (in case you had this problem).
Regarding the server updater, it is meant to override your persisted servers.json since the information it just obtained is more recent and should be used instead.
Closed issues are NOT monitored, so commenting here is likely to be not seen.
If you think this is still unresolved and have more information to bring, please create another issue.
This is an automated comment setup because @qdm12 is the sole maintainer of this project
which became too popular to monitor issues closed.
