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

thestraycat Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment

Having this issue as well as well as difficulty connecting to peers. Not sure if related to recent update. Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I can't reproduce this. Pulled transmission, stopped container, edited json file, restarted container, blocklist url remained at what I had configured it to. Quote Link to comment
thestraycat Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Any chance i can get a screenshot of your container config? Quote Link to comment

Pulled transmission, stopped container, edited json file, restarted container, blocklist url remained at what I had configured it to. 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. Quote Link to comment
thestraycat Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Just noticed this error in the logs when i turn off the container? Is it to be expected?

But if it starts up ok afterwards then I guess it's not a problem. Quote Link to comment
thestraycat Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Ah right thanks for the confirmation - Anyone else get it? Or am i on my own with it... Quote Link to comment

ken-ji Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 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; } 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) Quote Link to comment
Shamalamadindong Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 For whatever reason it doesn't work without the /rpc with me. Quote Link to comment

helpermonkey Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
SigmaInigma Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment
