zimme/transmission-daemon repository overview

⁠zimme/transmission-daemon

Minimal transmission-daemon image based on alpine.

This Docker image will run transmission-daemon with --config-dir /config by default.
It's recommended to mount a named volume transmission-config on /config to make sure config is saved when container is stopped or removed.
When using a named volume for /config this image will setup a default settings.json file. It's expected to bind-mount a host path on /downloads, when using the default config.

The image will run transmission-daemon as the user and group transmission with uid = 100 and gid = 101, to override this use the -u and/or --group-add of docker run.

It's recommend using --init when running this image.

⁠Config

This image will provide a default settings.json file when using a named volume for /config. On first run transmission-daemon will append its default config values to the settings.json file too.
