Home assistant add-on: Transmission Openvpn

I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons

If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

About

Transmission is a bittorrent client. This addon is based on the Haugene docker image.

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.

  1. Add my Hass.io add-ons repository to your Hass.io instance.
  2. Install this add-on.
  3. Click the Save button to store your configuration.
  4. Start the add-on.
  5. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
  6. Carefully configure the add-on to your preferences, see the official documentation for for that.

Configuration

Use the add-on env_vars option to pass extra environment variables (uppercase or lowercase names). See https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Add-Environment-variables-to-your-Addon-2 for details.

Options : see https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn for documentation

For setting a custom openvpn file (even if using AIRVPN), you should set OPENVPN_PROVIDER to "custom", then reference your ovpn file in your "OPENVPN_CONFIG". For example, if AIRVPN has provided to you an *.ovpn filed named AIRVPN.ovpn, you need to install an addon such as Filebrowser, go in the /config/addons_config/transmission/openvpn folder and put the AIRVPN.ovpn here. Then, in the addon option you need to write "AIRVPN" in the "OPENVPN_CONFIG" option

Complete transmission options are in /config/addons_config/transmission (make sure addon is stopped before modifying it as Transmission writes its ongoing values when stopping and could erase your changes)

WEBPROXY_ENABLED : the webproxy is enabled by default on port 8118 but can be disabled using the addon option "WEBPROXY_ENABLED". More informations : https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/web-proxy/ (thanks @tutorempire)
