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 add-ons repository to your home assistant instance (in supervisor addons store at top right, or click button below if you have configured my HA) Open your Home Assistant instance and show the add add-on repository dialog with a specific repository URL pre-filled.
  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)
