Transmission

Simple transmission container. Designed to be run using the network stack from an OpenVPN container.

Defaults:

• Run as user transmission. Default group users
• RPC username:password transmission:transmission
• Config directory: /config
• Download directory: /data/transmission
• Incomplete directory: /data/incomplete
• Watch directory: /data/watch
• Umask: 2

Build

To avoid permissions issues with shared volumes, use --build-arg to change the uid:gid of the image at build time.

docker build --build-arg=uid=$(id -u) --build-arg=gid=$(id -g) -t transmission .
docker create -v /config --name transmission_config myscratch true
docker run --rm --volumes-from transmission_config --user root transmission chown -R transmission:users /config

A bind-mounted volume can be used in place of the data-only volume for transmission_config.

Run

NOTE: The port publishing (-p 9091:9091) needs to be done on the openvpn container unless a reverse proxy will be used to conenct to the web UI.

docker run -d \
           --net=container:openvpn_run \
           --volumes-from transmission_config \
           -v pia_port:/var/run/pia \
           -v /mnt/downloads:/data \
           -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
           --name transmission_run \
           transmission
