Transmission Rock-on¶
Please be aware of the common prerequisites for all Rockstor Rock-ons (Docker Plugins); specifically the Initial Rock-ons Setup and The Rock-ons root requirement.
Our Transmission Rock-on forum area.
What is Transmission¶
Transmission is a cross-platform Open Source BitTorrent client; is is know for its ease of use. It also has a WebUI making it a good fit with Rockstor.
Transmission Documentation¶
Transmission’s about page has a number of useful links that should serve as a starting point.
Installing Transmission Rock-on¶
First please consider the pre-requisites for any Rockstor Rock-on; these are linked to at the top of this document. Note also that the Transmission Rock-on will require a Share to store its torrents. Note that this is in addition to the The Rock-ons root that may well already have been made.
