Overview

This Puppet module installs and configures the transmission daemon - the headless component of the Transmission BitTorrent client.

Puppet 3 Support

Please note that the master branch of this module does not support Puppet 3!

On 31st December 2016, support for Puppet 3.x was withdrawn. As such, this module no longer supports Puppet 3, and is actively being migrated to Puppet 4 syntax.

If you require Puppet 3 compatibility, please use version 1.2.1 from the Puppet Forge, or the puppet3 branch in Git.

Module Description

  • Adds the Transmission PPA from ppa:transmissionbt/ppa
  • Installs transmission-cli,transmission-common and transmission-daemon packages
  • Downloads and periodically updates blocklists if configured
  • Configures the configuration file for Transmission at /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
  • Enables and starts the transmission-daemon daemon/service

Setup

Beginning With puppet-transmission

To accept default class parameters (correct in most situations):

include transmission

Usage Example

To specify an RPC user/password, set a custom port number for RPC and peer connections and enable mandatory encryption for peer connections:

class { 'transmission':
  rpc_username => 'rpcuser',
  rpc_password => 'somecomplexpasswordgoeshere',
  rpc_port     => 8080,
  peer_port    => 54612,
  encryption   => 2,
}
