Download Client

Transmission

Information

• Transmission is a download client. This should be paired with the VPN setup in this project.
  • By default it goes through the VPN's docker network layer.
• It is mobile responsive but if you want an app for all of this, you can add Transmission as a client in this App on Android: nzb360.
• This is cross platform, but achieves a similar result: LunaSea

• Just Transmission Commands

Type	Command
Start	docker compose up transmission -d
Shutdown	docker compose down transmission

• Once started, Transmission should be hit from this url:

	URL
Non-SSL	http://localhost:9091

Heads Up!

There's a lot of commented lines in the above Transmission config.

• ports: are not allowed to be configured if the network_mode: is set to pass through the VPN service (service:vpn)
  • Ports are instead configured on the vpn service itself
• depends_on: This is uncommented in the main docker-compose file, but if you wanted to spin this up standalone, you wouldn't need that. Making the Transmission service depend on the vpn and the web crawlers/radarr/sonarr is important so that they come up first.
