Ansible role: transmission-daemon

Installs and configures the Transmission daemon on Debian/Ubuntu servers.

Requirements

There are no special requirements. Note that this role requires root access, so either run it in a playbook with a global become: yes, or invoke the role in your playbook like:

- hosts: transmission
  roles:
    - role: danielkoster.transmission-daemon
      become: yes

Role Variables

Every option in the settings.json configuration file can be specified. See the Transmission wiki for a complete list of configurable options. Note that the variables in this role use underscores and are prefixed with transmission_. So if you'd like to override rpc-enabled you can do so by defining transmission_rpc_enabled. For the default values, see defaults/main.yml. Theses are taking from the default configuration file the transmission-daemon package generates.

NOTE: Make sure you set transmission_rpc_password to a secure password, or disable RPC login.

Example Playbook

- hosts: transmission
  become: yes
  roles:
    - { role: danielkoster.transmission-daemon }

Inside vars/main.yml:

transmission_dht_enabled: false
transmission_max_peers_global: 1000
