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. 

[snuffy47]

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

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.

[thestraycat]

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

[blahblah0385]

I can't reproduce this.  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.

[thestraycat]

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.

[thestraycat]

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;
        }

[CHBMB]

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

   # 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)

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?
