  • Possibly the path is incorrect. To what path is the docker trying to save the torrent when you get the message? Does that path correspond to something in the docker volume mappings?

  • Sounds like you aren't getting what jonathanm said. You said you had mapped /download, but then you said you expected to find them in /downloads. /download is not the same as /downloads.  

  • No, but the HDD I use for cache is fast enough to handle gigabit speed and yes, I use cache only folder. I know what I am doing. I found some other reports in the meantime on transmission forums that

Did you use Community Applications - Previous Apps to reinstall your dockers?

 

Was the config (appdata?) stored on your cache? Maybe you still have a problem with the drive. Post diagnostics.

1-  I used Community Applications - Previous Apps to reinstall yes

2-  Yes my appdata was on my cache.  My other dockers seem to be functioning okay after docker nuke and reinstall

 

Diag attached

Can you try a fresh pull into a new appdata folder?  Maybe your existing appdata got corrupted somehow. 

Okay

 

I pulled into and appdata2 and transmission worked ;)

 

I copied the settings.json file into my original appdata and reinstalled back there and it seems to be working

 

What should I do to ensure all is well or was this wrong

 

thnx

Dunno how to check "all is well" but something must have got corrupted somehow. 

Thx for help

 

Server been running great for so long crazy when it breaks

Anyone having a problem making changes to transmission that save for example adding a blocklist URL or changing values? Even when i edit the settings.json file with the container off and then turn the container on it still overwrites the settings which i believe is standard practice for the transmission daemon... But should i be turning off the transmission service with the container on, editting the settings.json file in the /defaults folder (in the container) and then enabling the service? I thought with there being a copy of settings.json kept in the appdata/transmission folder (outside the container) i should have been able to modify there?

Having this issue as well as well as difficulty connecting to peers. Not sure if related to recent update.

I can't reproduce this.  Pulled transmission, stopped container, edited json file, restarted container, blocklist url remained at what I had configured it to.

Any chance i can get a screenshot of your container config?

It seems if I edit the json file manually then it gets saved and no problems. if i edit the settings through the web gui and restart docker it doesn't seem to save.

Just noticed this error in the logs when i turn off the container? Is it to be expected?

No, a segfault is a crash to all intents and purposes....

 

But if it starts up ok afterwards then I guess it's not a problem.

Ah right thanks for the confirmation - Anyone else get it? Or am i on my own with it...

For Nginx reverse proxy users,

 


# Transmission
location /transmission/ {
        proxy_pass http://TRANSMISSIONIP:PORT/transmission/web/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
	proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
	proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
	proxy_buffering off;
        }

# Also Transmission specific
    location /rpc {
        proxy_pass http://TRANSMISSIONIP:PORT/transmission/rpc;
        }

Thanks, I'm sure this will come in useful for people.

   # Also Transmission specific
    location /rpc {
        proxy_pass http://TRANSMISSIONIP:PORT/transmission/rpc;
        }

 

The /rpc location is odd. I understand that the web and rpc endpoints are both under /transmission/ ie http://transmissionip:9091/transmission/web and http://transmissionip:9091/transmission/rpc

 

Thus mine is like this

    location /transmission {
        satisfy any;
        allow 192.168.2.0/24;
        auth_basic "Transmission Remote Web Client";
        auth_basic_user_file /config/transmission.passwd;
        proxy_pass http://192.168.2.5:9091;
        access_log off;
    }

With the bonus of allowing my LAN to access transmission without needing a password. (All of this is under HTTPS block)

 

For whatever reason it doesn't work without the /rpc with me.

Hey there,

Pardon if this is a n00b question - i tried searching this thread but did not find the answers i was looking for. I have 2 questions:

 

1) Is there any way to setup notifications so that when torrents finish, I know? Email would be fine - as would some other way of sending that message to my laptop (macbook pro).

2) What is the best way to setup remote access for this so that I can add torrents while I'm out and about?

 

I am running the latest version of this docker.

Probably best asked over in Transmission forum, docker is merely a way of packaging the apps.

 

2) What is the best way to setup remote access for this so that I can add torrents while I'm out and about?

 

Either port forward or setup a reverse proxy.

 

 

Hi, I know you probably don't provide support with downloading copyrighted content but I had a question. If you can answer it that would be great. If not I understand. Before using the transmission docker I used uTorrent on my Windows 10 PC to download torrents. I have downloaded movies for years using uTorrent and have NEVER got a copyright notice from my ISP. I have downloaded two movies with transmission on unRaid.  For both I have received a copyright notice from my ISP. Both movies also happened to be from paramount pictures. Not sure if they are just monitoring like crazy recently or something else is going on.

 

I am not using a VPN, but like I said I have not had this issue in the past with uTorrent. Is there any way that by using Transmission on unRaid my connections are more easily monitored?
