Big news ~33 months later...hopefully becoming a part of Debian 12 & many other distros...as Torrenting allows much faster downloading of ZIM files + other Content Packs too:
https://github.com/transmission/transmission/releases/tag/4.0.0
IIAB's Ansible role (that installs & configures Transmission) may need tweaking here:
|
- name: Back up prior /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json (original file from apt, or new symlink contents) to /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json.old* |
|
copy: |
|
src: /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json |
|
dest: /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json.old |
|
mode: preserve |
|
owner: "{{ transmission_user }}" # debian-transmission |
|
group: "{{ transmission_group }}" # debian-transmission |
|
backup: yes |
|
ignore_errors: yes |
|
|
|
- name: "Back up IIAB's templated version to /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json.iiab" |
|
template: |
|
src: settings.json.j2 |
|
dest: /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json.iiab |
|
owner: "{{ transmission_user }}" # debian-transmission |
|
group: "{{ transmission_group }}" # debian-transmission |
|
mode: '0600' |
|
|
|
- name: Install /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json from template |
|
template: |
|
src: settings.json.j2 |
|
dest: /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json |
|
owner: "{{ transmission_user }}" # debian-transmission |
|
group: "{{ transmission_group }}" # debian-transmission |
|
mode: '0600' |
|
|
|
- name: "Reverse Transmission's fragile OOTB symlink -- instead we establish /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json -> /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json -- REASON: /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json was intermittently being IGNORED, as Transmission sometimes breaks its own symlink from /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json (by turning it into a file instead)" |
|
file: |
|
path: /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json |
|
src: /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json |
|
state: link |
|
force: yes |
LIkewise Transmission's central settings.json file may need updating or replacing here:
