Based on linuxserver.io baseimage but NOT SUPPORTED by them.

I added NzbToMedia in order to use the PostProcess effect from this script.

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. Transmission

docker create --name=transmission \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-v <path to downloads>:/downloads \
-v <path to watch folder>:/watch \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid> \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
-p 9091:9091 -p 51413:51413 \
-p 51413:51413/udp \
linuxserver/transmission

Parameters

• -p 9091
• -p 51413 - the port(s)
• -v /config - where transmission should store config files and logs
• -v /downloads - local path for downloads
• -v /watch - watch folder for torrent files
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation
• -e TZ for timezone information, eg Europe/London

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it transmission /bin/bash.

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

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.

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime docker logs -f transmission.
