December 20, 20169 yr 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). 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. thanks for your help! i do have one more question: i've installed transmission and configured it to download using my array w/ over 7 TB of space left. However, i see to get the message "Unable to save resume file: No Space left on device". When i force resume the downloads they seem to work for a few mintues and then hit me with that error message. I've checked the paths in my preferences and confirmed that these files are downloading to my array (as opposed to my cache drive or something like that). Any idea on what's causing that problem?

Post your docker run command or a screenshot of your docker showing the volume mappings. EDIT - I see you already did on your other thread.
December 31, 20169 yr I try to run this docker in bridge mode (dhcp), but the container still uses the host IP address. How can I get an IP from the dhcp for the container?

January 13, 20179 yr It seems when i restart transmission it looses all the settings set in UI. Is this on purpose? i notice the settings.json file isnt updating.
January 13, 20179 yr It seems when i restart transmission it looses all the settings set in UI. Is this on purpose? i notice the settings.json file isnt updating. I can't reproduce this. Just pulled it, settings updated. Have you edited the file manually or done anything else? Fresh install?
January 13, 20179 yr Really? whats your /config set to? i did a fresh pull. Post your docker run command, link in sig
January 14, 20179 yr Can confirm, Transmission keeps losing settings. root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="transmission" --net="bridge" -e TZ="Europe/Berlin" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "PUID"="99" -e "PGID"="100" -p 9091:9091/tcp -p 51413:51413/tcp -v "/mnt/user/Media/INGEST/Downloads/":"/downloads":rw -v "/mnt/user/Data/TorrentWatch/":"/watch":rw -v "/mnt/user/appdata/transmission":"/config":rw linuxserver/transmission 1958169265eb0f7d8ccce5f2378ac23eb54929121bf7a441b39ae812a269570c

Still can't reproduce this, I did wonder if changing the appdata from my usual /mnt/cache/appdata to /mnt/user/appdata would reproduce it but it doesn't.

I've been using this since day one and I just updated it this morning. It is still working fine for me but I didn't change any settings after the update this morning. If you are trying to make changes to settings.json you need to do that with the docker stopped. Other than that I don't know what to suggest.
January 15, 20179 yr Some torrents that are downloaded are in a RAR file. Transmission has the option to extract from archives in the settings.json file: "script-torrent-done-enabled" + "script-torrent-done-filename" Does someone know how to execute unrar in the transmission docker? I have installed unrar via the nerd pack, but the docker doesn't know unrar....

January 16, 20179 yr Hi I have noticed that this Transmission docker unfortunately doesn't save the parameter "Stop seeding at ratio: [X]" after a restart of the docker. Can anyone else verify this or is it just for me this is happening?
January 16, 20179 yr One of you with issues is gonna have to do some investigating. Can't reproduce this here and no reports on github or irc of any issues. Can someone do a ls -la on /config and post the results, along with their docker run command if they haven't already posted it. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Thank you for taking the time to respond #CHBMB As you can see by my post count. I'm fresh meat around these parts So please forgive my ignorance. When you write "/config" I can't seem to find any folder by that name(regarding Transmission).

January 17, 20179 yr Another case of settings resetting here. Biggest issue for me, is that Transmission won't move finished downloads out of incomplete folder. Docker mappings: /downloads /mnt/cache/downloads/incoming /watch /mnt/cache/appdata/transmission/watch /config /mnt/cache/appdata/transmission Transmission download folder is set to /downloads. When i double click the finished torrent, it says the location is "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming/", but the files are still in "/mnt/cache/appdata/transmission/incomplete". Anyone else experiencing this? Also, I noticed that /watch folder doesnt work. I'm not using this feature anyway, just thought I'm going to mention it.

What exactly do you mean by "double click the finished torrent"? In the Transmission webUI? Transmission doesn't understand the folder path /mnt/cache/downloads/incoming, according to the mappings you said you have. It would refer to that unRAID host folder as /downloads. You have something misconfigured, either in the container settings, or within the Transmission application.

You have something misconfigured, either in the container settings, or within the Transmission application. yeah, when double clicking in the transmission webUI. my "download to" path within the transmission app is "/downloads" from settings.json: "download-dir": "/downloads", docker mappings like in my previous post: /downloads /mnt/cache/downloads/incoming /watch /mnt/cache/appdata/transmission/watch /config /mnt/cache/appdata/transmission
January 18, 20179 yr Then why did you say When i double click the finished torrent, it says the location is "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming/" With those mappings, when you double click the finished torrent it should say the location is /downloads.
