HOWTO: transmission with web - no GUI

(1/3) > >>

batnas:
This guide will tell you how to run transmission with no GUI and only a web interface.
This is useful if you have a server running only MC

Because wo do not need a GUI, we do not need all the dependencys of transmission.
This script will install transmission with only our deps:


--- Code: ---mkdir -p /tmp/transmission
cd /tmp/transmission
tce-fetch.sh transmission.tcz
tce-fetch.sh curl.tcz
tce-fetch.sh curl.tcz.dep
tce-fetch.sh openssl-0.9.8.tcz
tce-fetch.sh libevent.tcz
echo curl.tcz > transmission.tcz.dep
echo libevent.tcz >> transmission.tcz.dep
tce-load -i transmission.tcz
cp * `cat /opt/.tce_dir`optional/
cd `cat /opt/.tce_dir`
echo transmission.tcz >> onboot.lst
--- End code ---

NB TC/MC-versions 2.x DO NOT need libevent.tcz - you can remove the lines with libevent.tcz

Now we need a config file.
You can look at this
https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigurationParameters
webpage for help with setup.
Or you can use the one i have attached. You will then have to edit 'rpc-whitelist' or 'rpc-whitelist-enabled'

To start the daemon you use

--- Code: ---transmission-daemon -g /settings/folder/
--- End code ---
NOTE: the -g flag wants a folder, not the actual settings.json

If you want to change the folder whee transmission saves the files, you can do so frem the web-interface.


EDIT 1: removed 'tce-fetch.sh transmission.tce.dep' - see post #2

Good instructions.

Noticed an unnecessary line:
tc@box:/tmp/transmission$ tce-fetch.sh transmission.tcz.dep

It's written from scratch anyway, no need to download it first.

batnas:
Thanks.
It is corrected ;D

bitsnbytes:
I plan to run transmission as a headless server on tiny core and have installed the latest version (which I assume is 3.5.1 since the downloaded iso doesn't contain the version). I've followed the instructions from this site and have a few issues, perhaps the instructions are out of date and possibly require updating for a noob like me  ;D

1. Most of the commands in code block 1 are fine, however when I execute the command below

--- Code: ---cp * `cat /opt/.tce_dir`optional/
--- End code ---
It complains that the directory is not found

--- Code: ---cp: can't create '/tmp/tceoptional/curl.tcz': Path does not exist
--- End code ---
Do I need to create the tceoptional folder?

Also, when navigating to the folder below

--- Code: ---cd `cat /opt/.tce_dir`
--- End code ---
(which turns out to be /tmp/tce), there is no file called onboot.lst

--- Code: ---echo transmission.tcz >> onboot.lst
--- End code ---
Do I need to create the onboot.lst file?

2. There doesn't seem to be any configuration file attached with the post, unless I should be looking somewhere else  ???

--- End quote ---
Also, where do I save the configuration file once downloaded?

3. When I attempt to start the transmission-daemon

--- Code: ---transmission-daemon -g /settings/folder/
--- End code ---
I get the error message below

--- Code: ---transmission-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
--- End code ---

4. And finally  ;D,

--- Quote from: batnas on July 03, 2010, 09:29:41 AM ---If you want to change the folder whee transmission saves the files, you can do so frem the web-interface.

--- End quote ---
Does this mean that any settings done from the web interface will be stored in the configuration file?

Sorry for so many questions, but am a linux newbie here  :-[

curaga:
1. Please set up persistence first, with /tmp/tce things would be in ram and you would lose them on reboot.
Perhaps the instructions need an additional slash ("/optional" vs "optional") after that.

2. Attachments can only be seen when logged in.
