Torrent Client in linux server with web access

Published by Matheus (X-warrior) Bratfisch on August 4, 2010

Hello

Why to create a server with a torrent client with web access? I live with other people that uses torrent too. I had a computer running a server with other services, so I decided to add this client (transmission-daemon) with web access, in this way we don’t need to let computers on. Just this one. Everybody have web access to it and it is so simple to use.

But wich client to use? I searched a little bit and found that exists some famous ones as w3btorrent and torrentflux. but they need a web-server running like apache. And I don’t want to setup it too, because I don’t need it. So I choosed transmission the native torrent client in Ubuntu.

So, to install it in Ubuntu server you use:

$ sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon

Now you need to setup it, my configuration file was in /home/user/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

The options are a lot but it is easy to understand them.

“download-dir”: – Finished path downloads
“incomplete-dir”: – Incomplete path downloads
“incomplete-dir-enabled”: – If it will use Incomplete dir or not
“rpc-enabled”: – Web access enabled or not
“rpc-port”: – Web access port
“rpc-whitelist-enabled”: – If it will let just a few ip address
“rpc-whitelist”: – List of the ip address

There is a lot of other configs but this ones are the basic that I used to have it working. I had some problems with white-list so I disabled it.

This is my
file of config of transmission-daemon in this config the user is “admin” and the password is “teste”

If you want to strat transmission-daemon with a different config file use –config-dir /PATH/TO/SETTING/

(Remember that you must not put the settings.json in the path, just the path to the place that the file is.)

I add in /etc/rc.local

transmission-daemon –config-dir /home/user/.config/transmission-daemon/

Remove the transmission-daemon from /etc/init.d/ and reboot your system

Any doubth or problem, feel free to contact me,
Matheus

    Been betting with Tenobet for maybe five months on and off, mainly slots plus the odd football action on Saturdays. Not gonna lie, I only signed up because a lad from my local mentioned it, and I half expected it to be rubbish.\n\nThe slots side is genuinely big — I reckon about 2,000 titles if you count everything. The usual suspects are there: Pragmatic, Play’n GO, Microgaming, Betsoft. I mostly stick to Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza, although the BTG titles gets a look in. Live side is Evolution, so no complaints there — actual dealers, roulette round the clock, plus Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette.\n\nThe welcome thing with Tenobet goes to ?125 and a batch of free spins, wagering sits at 30x , so fair enough. No no deposit freebie that I found, you need ?10 or ?20 to trigger it. To check what’s live right now have a look at teno bet casino rather than trusting my memory. My gripe: bonus expiry is tight and I wasted a load.\n\nWithdrawals have been fine. Skrill came back in about a day for me, debit card was three working days, which is just how cards are. They do Neteller, Visa and some crypto options, but I’ve never used crypto on a bookie. KYC was the usual — passport and a utility bill, done in a day.\n\nNo app on the Play Store, it’s the mobile site which honestly works — I use it more than desktop now. Live chat on Tenobet answered in about five minutes both times, actual person, decent English. Licensed and regulated for UK players, which is why I stuck around.
