robsharp/rpi-transmission repository overview

⁠Transmission Daemon

Very light transmission-daemon installation based on the Hypriot image for the Raspberry Pi.

By design, it will only run the transission daemon, exposing its standard port and exporting volumes for both the configuration and the data (including download) directories.

You can execute it with something like:

docker run -d \
  -p  9091:9091 \
  -p  51413:51413 \
  -p  51413:51413/udp \
  --restart='always' \
  -v /media/external/torrent/downloading:/var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads \
  -v /root/transmission-daemon:/etc/transmission-daemon \
  --name transmission robsharp/rpi-transmission \

In my case, /media/external represents an external drive mounted on the docker host, and /root/transmission-daemon contains all the settings and in-progress torrents for the container.

The use of restart='always' ensures the container starts with the docker host.
