Transmission setup

[andrenel212]

Hi,

I’m the old GUI when installing transmission there where some settings for the download and incomplete locations as well as setting permissions to 777 before opening up transmission and setting the download folder again. In have recently changed over to the new GUI and have managed reset everything else up, CP, SickRage and Plex but not transmission as I cannot find anywhere to input the other info.

TIA

First things first, which version of FreeNas you arr running?
2. Assuming you are running 11.2 beta3, inside plugin jail type service transmission stop
3. go to /usr/local/etc/transmission/home
4. type edit settings.json
here you will set the paths of your folders and umask=0 (this is equal file permissons 777); press esc>leave editor>save alterations.
5. Add transmission to media group

chown -R media:media /usr/local/etc/transmission

sysrc transmission_user=media

sysrc transmission_group=media

service transmission start

P.S. My personal advice manage yours shares permission trought windows explorer, don’t mess with it on FreeNas

I think that’s the way I maneged to make transmission work, any case let me know to help you.

Thanks. Once I’ve stopped the jail, do I stay in the jail or exit to run the usr/ command as it gives me permission denied

Almost forget to say, you can add media user ang group by shell:
iocage exec transmission service transmission onestop
iocage exec transmission "pw user add media -c media -u 8675309 -d /nonexistent -s /usr/bin/nologin"
iocage exec transmission "pw groupadd -n media -g 8675309"
iocage exec transmission "pw groupmod media -m transmission"
iocage exec transmission chown -R media:media /config/transmission-home
iocage exec transmission chown -R media:media /mnt/downloads
iocage exec transmission sysrc 'transmission_user=media'

chown -R media:media /usr/local/etc/transmission

sysrc transmission_user=media

sysrc transmission_group=media

service transmission start

P.S. My personal advice manage yours shares permission trought windows explorer, don’t mess with it on FreeNas

This is the only thing that worked to fix my permissions. Thank you!
