It is a known issue. lrusak has already submitted a patch for the Docker addon. Please, see:
LibreELEC

I'm getting the same error on kszaq's latest 8.0.0c on amlogic s905x!?
Followed these instructions:
cd /storage
wget master.zip
unzip master.zip
systemctl enable /storage/Dockerfiles-master/arm/transmission/transmission.service
systemctl start transmission.service
Thanks!

I was being a numpty, docker wasn't even installed doh!
And I get an installation failure when I try and install it, any ideas?

OK this is working now BUT running transmission on a linux desktop I can get over 5mb/s downloads whereas on the S905X box I only get 1/10 of that speed at best! Any ideas?

Can anyone guide on how to install transmission via docker on LE? Not had any luck finding the correct container/ instructions

Hi all, I moved my transmission Docker to a new rpi3 with the new version of LibreELEC and now I have a storage issue...

Since I use the same configuration files that for my legacy rpi2... And same usb storage for all incomplete / complete files.... There's no sense...

Any idea?

Ok... corrected...

I had to disable the service and to re-enable it in order to recreate the symlink...

This is an alternative to Docker

Fantastic!! thank you

Something really strange....

After each reboot, I have to do

Code

servicectl restart transmission

If I don't restart the service, the docker just want to use the Sd card as storage...

I read through this thread a finally came up with the following setup.

Note that I am using a generic transmission docker image linuxserver/transmission and not something libreELEC specific.

The folder /storage/misc/transmission/config should contain settings.json file with transmission configuration.

In this file I added the port 31777. Note that an rpc password or a non-trivial whitelist must be set. Otherwise we would fail connecting to the server.

Code

LibreELEC:~ # cat /storage/.local/transmission/default 
TRANSMISSION_UDP_PORT=31777
TRANSMISSION_TZ=Asia/Jerusalem

by SHH - not working. Can anyone help me? dir to my HDD:

/var/media/sda1-usb-Seagate_Expansio

The download directory and the incomplete directory are the same and are in the root directory of your external disk. Do you want this?

If you want to be able to move the download directories to any site on your device from within the docker application you need to add the following parameters

Code

-v /storage:/storage \
-v /media:/media \

this will create two new directories within the docker app that will link to your LE device

rav3k · September 23, 2021 at 9:27 PM

i dont know what is the "stupid directories" but yes i want to download files into my hdd main "folder", directly to HDD

elonesna · September 23, 2021 at 9:30 PM

Stupid directories means they are useless and can be deleted
