Transmission is a popular BitTorrent client recommended by many PT sites, and it has its own features compared to qBittorrent. To simplify the installation process of Transmission, xiaoz has packaged it into a Docker image for easy use.

Features

• Based on Alpine base image, small in size
• Default installation of transmission-web-control for a beautiful interface
• Easy to install and use

Installing Transmission with Docker

Assuming you have already installed Docker and are familiar with basic command usage, if you are not familiar, you can refer to this article "Linux Installation of Docker and Common Docker Commands". Without further ado, here are the commands:

docker run -d --name="transmission" \
  -e USERNAME=xiaoz \
  -e PASSWORD=xiaoz.me \
  -p 9091:9091 \
  -p 51413:51413 \
  -p 51413:51413/udp \
  -v /data/downloads:/root/Downloads \
  -v /data/transmission:/root/.config/transmission-daemon \
  --restart=always \
  helloz/transmission

• USERNAME: Transmission username
• PASSWORD: Transmission password
• /data/test: Local download folder, please modify according to the actual situation

After installation, enter IP:9091 to open the Transmission web interface, as shown in the screenshot below (with the interface beautification installed).

Using on Mobile Devices

It's quite inconvenient to use the Transmission web interface on mobile devices. We can open the WeChat mini program and search for "TransClient" to use it. This mini program supports adding Transmission/BitTorrent and other servers, making it very convenient to add and delete BT/PT tasks on mobile devices.

Note: The TransClient mini program has been discontinued. It is recommended to use Transdrone instead.

Finally

The Docker build method is open source on Github, feel free to use it.
