- (optional) create new user for this container via synology dsm gui e.g.: docker-user (users group)
- create new shared folder on synology e.g.: torrents (/volume1/torrents) and add read/write permission for docker-user
- create transmission folder e.g.: /volume1/docker/transmission
- create docker-compose.yaml inside the folder and paste content of docker-compose.yaml from this repo
- change following variables:
OPENVPN_PROVIDER (your vpn provider https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/supported-providers/)
OPENVPN_CONFIG (choose one from https://github.com/haugene/vpn-configs-contrib/tree/main/openvpn based of your vpn provider)
OPENVPN_USERNAME=XXXX
OPENVPN_PASSWORD=XXXX
LOCAL_NETWORK=XXXX/XX
PGID=XXXX (docker-user group id)
PUID=XXXX (docker-user user id)
keep the following lines if you're using mullvad, otherwise remove them
sysctls:
- "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0"
[https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/provider-specific/]
- run from /volume1/docker/transmission folder
docker-compose up
- check newly created network inside docker -> networks and add firewall rule for docker subnet. Also make sure, you add firewall rule for 9091 for your control host.
- stop the docker-compose
- start as daemon
docker-compose up -d
- check ip from inside the container: docker exec -it /bin/sh curl ifconfig.me
- open transmission webui
http://<LOCAL_NETWORK>:9091
Newly downloaded torrent files in /volume1/torrents/watch will be automatically added to transmission and started.
Not finished torrents are stored in /volume1/torrents/incomplete
If you want to download movies to different folder, upload the torrent manually and set destination path to e.g.: /data/completed/Movies
Mullvad users must have peer listening port used in transmission (settings -> network -> port [check status of port]) fowarded in mullvad account (account management -> port forwarding -> choose city you used in OPENVPN_CONFIG + No device (only OpenVPN)) to be able to seed.
