linuxserver/transmission¶
Transmission is designed for easy, powerful use. Transmission has the features you want from a BitTorrent client: encryption, a web interface, peer exchange, magnet links, DHT, µTP, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, webseed support, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more.
Supported Architectures¶
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/transmission:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ❌ |
Application Setup¶
Webui is on port 9091, the settings.json file in /config has extra settings not available in the webui. Stop the container before editing it or any changes won't be saved.
Securing the webui with a username/password.¶
Use the USER and PASS variables in docker run/create/compose to set authentication. Do not manually edit the settings.json to input user/pass, otherwise transmission cannot be stopped cleanly by the s6 supervisor.
Updating Blocklists Automatically¶
This requires "blocklist-enabled": true, to be set. By setting this to true, it is assumed you have also populated blocklist-url with a valid block list.
The automatic update is a shell script that downloads a blocklist from the url stored in the settings.json, gunzips it, and restarts the transmission daemon.
The automatic update will run once a day at 3am local server time.
Using whitelist¶
Use WHITELIST to enable a list of ip as whitelist. This enable support for rpc-whitelist. When WHITELIST is empty support for whitelist is disabled.
Use HOST_WHITELIST to enable an list of dns names as host-whitelist. This enable support for rpc-host-whitelist. When HOST_WHITELIST is empty support for host-whitelist is disabled.
Use alternative Transmission torrent ports¶
Use PEERPORT to specify the port(s) Transmission should listen on. This disables random port selection. This should be the same as the port mapped in your docker configuration.
Usage¶
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.
