Can't install

[Luka-ACCT]

Hi,

Can you write the setup guide in more details? I tried your first two methods, but failed either of them. For example, where does one find the /.local folder? And I tried the docker method, and it gives me such error message "unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: lstat /root/Dockerfile: no such file or directory". Your guide is really confusing. Did you only intend for savvy linux users? Thanks.

Hello!

The installation process right now is definitely a bit involved, and I wish could be made a bit easier.

For example, where does one find the /.local folder?

The folder can be found under the $HOME folder. So in the example ~/.local/share/transmission/web/, the tilde ~ automatically expands to something like /home/secretmapper/.local/share/transmission/web)

I have actually not tried the Dockerfile (it was submitted by the community, namely iomonad) and I can't really help you with it since I'm not using it personally.

Let me know if the $HOME clarification helped, and I'll try to review the Guide to make it easier, thanks.

If using transmission inside a docker, it's just a matter of setting the correct env variable & a folder sharing.
My transmission docker creation command (running on a QNAP NAS):
docker create \ --net host \ --name=transmission \ -e PUID=0 \ -e PGID=0 \ -e USERNAME="admin" \ -e PASSWORD="" \ -e TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME="/combustion" \ -v /share/homes/admin/.combustion/combustion-release:/combustion \ -v /share/homes/admin/.config/transmission:/config \ -v /share/Multimedia/videos/downloads:/downloads \ linuxserver/transmission

/combustion in the docker maps to /share/homes/admin/.combustion/combustion-release where I have unzipped the skin (as instructed in the install steps)
and the env variable TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME is set to /combustion.

Works fine, skin looks awesome!
