I use this container and I don't have that.

 

Are you sure you don't have your server on the internet?

 

Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

If your transmission is accessible through the Internet, someone could've brute forced their way in. That, or into your network, where they can scan internal IPs and open ports. I'd change the login on your transmission client and add a strong password.

 

If it's an attack from inside your home network, check your computer for malware.

I was facing the issue with RPC "without password" seem like it was in this state multiple months.

 

Until i found out and removed the former docker, installed latest one.

 

Now seems like new issue, even i setup "settings.json" it get changed after restart and im not able to use Transmission

 

I even removed those values from Config in Docker, but seems like they show up again

 

 

 

Any clue what else to change to "keep/save" settings i setup? Thanks

 

 

EDIT:

 

I overwrite again the "settings.json", stopped Docker and started - all seems saved now

Also tried restart - settings are kept.

 

Maybe is some docker "update" in between causing it, will see till next update.

 

for now FIXED

fixed

[killeriq]

after few days, same problem again

 

It added those values again...

 

[cherrybullet]

The container should be stopped when editing `settings.json`. Otherwise, transmission will save its current in-memory version when it exits

i'm aware of that, from some reason even "stopped" changed json and after start old values again...

 

I removed app from docker, deleted transmission in appdata, installed again and now it seems its fine...lets see if it last.

 

Drives me nuts already

After installation, there is no Web interface like this log. Tell me how it can be fixed!

[killeriq]

what did u set as "peerport" in config?

[vanso]

Thanks, I've decided.

After the last update I was unable to connect with transmission web GUI. Try to delete app folder and reinstall it. Same problem.

Putting *.*.*.* value as whitelist. No change. Set false to whitelist. no change

 

Any idea?

[killeriq]

1. check / save your docker settings

1.1 backup appdata/transmission  (otherwise *.torrent will be lost)

2. remove docker and appdata/transmission

3. install it again

4. remove those "whitelist" fields from docker setup

5. compare old settings.json with new settings.json and modify as needed

 

No clue what they messed up, acting strange

 

[Surfparadise]

it's really strange. I removed the container and deleted the appdata/transmission, reinstalled the container, copy the old settings.json to the new one.... no way. Doesn't works. 🤨

[killeriq]

dont copy, just edit few values...

 

it behaves strange and it happend to me even i removed those "white" values in docker, after restart it was there again.

 

2nd wipe fix it, then is compare and edited settings.json, no overwrite

overwrite cause that not wanted values were there again

And again...seems like each automatic docker "update" , it get messed up 

 

@linuxserver.io Could someone fix it once and for all? Thanks

I'm having some trouble with permissions since the last update. I can't download anything:

Also getting this error in Radarr

You are using docker; download client transmission places downloads in /mnt/user/mergerfs/gd/Downloads/torrents/complete/movies but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings.

check lower / upcase letters , needs to be correct in mappings / folders.

Must be something about your transmission setup. Doesn't reset for me and no way rc3 upgrade could have that effect anyway.

No clue what is wrong, but either after some OS reboot or new Transmission update it puts the default value as when you installed fresh Transmission docker and it put the "ip white list" rule ON again, even i removed it in docker and in settings.json

 

drives me nuts when i find out after some time that again i cant log in

This suggests that you haven't mapped your config to actual storage (appdata)

[killeriq]

I did there is = where is randomly changing the "settings.json"

Problem is that it works and seems either after upgrade or OS reboot it get some of the "default" docker settings , as on fresh install. No clue why. No such issue with other docker

[trurl]

Maybe something (corruption?) is breaking settings.json so a new one gets created.
