Current Behavior

listen-address does not get set to 0.0.0.0

root@72296ea7041e:/# grep ^listen-address /etc/privoxy/config
listen-address 10.0.0.12:3128
root@72296ea7041e:/# 

netstat -na shows it listening on the default address.

Expected Behavior

listen-address gets set to 0.0.0.0

How have you tried to solve the problem?

Looks like 5.3.2 doesn't contain the functionality for WEBPROXY_BIND_ADDRESS :

# docker inspect --format='{{json .Config.Labels}}' transmission-openvpn_transmission-openvpn.1.6fyf81kjmvmf34wawaf888yci | jq | grep version
  "org.opencontainers.image.version": "5.3.2"

# docker exec transmission-openvpn_transmission-openvpn.1.6fyf81kjmvmf34wawaf888yci cat /opt/privoxy/start.sh | grep set_port
set_port()
  set_port "${WEBPROXY_PORT}" "${PROXY_CONF}"

v5.3.2 is from May, whereas the commit that merged WEBPROXY_BIND_ADDRESS into the master branch (43eb403) was in July.

Using the tags master, edge, or dev will have what you're looking for.

Thanks, i figured that out when I posted above. The docs for the functionality didnt mention so I just assumed it was in the latest release (which seems a reasonable thing to expect)

[ilike2burnthing]

Main dev's free time has been limited of late. The release in May was intended to be a jump back into working on the project, but then life happened. Guessing something similar in July, hence why the docs would be ahead of the release.
