How can I customize the folder for listening for new .torrents, and moving a file to once downloaded?

    Hi @mehdi, Wondering if this feature is included in the app / if these folders can be set to Cloudron volumes

    @ethanxrosen of course it can!

    https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/transmission/#custom-config

    Basically, you just have to edit /app/data/transmission-config/modifiable.settings.json .

    The list of stuff you can put there is https://github.com/transmission/transmission/wiki/Editing-Configuration-Files#options

    In your case, it seems you need to add watch-dir and watch-dir-enabled, plus you need to modify the exising download-dir

    @robi Either manually, or using something like the "black-hole" method of torrent downloads in sickchill, in a shared volume

    @mehdi Shared volume I can see.. if we had a nice file drop app.

    Tell me more about the black hole one.

    @robi On most apps that auto-download torrents (SickChill, CouchPotato, ...), there are 2 ways to download them:

    • either you give the app an URL of a known torrent app (+ credentials if needed), and it connects to it by API
    • or you instruct it to just write the .torrent files to a given folder when it wants to download something. The idea is to then watch said dir with a torrent app, to pick up the files and download them.

    @mehdi Ah ok, familiar with that.. was hoping for some sort of submission system, upload web interface or RSS integration for remote curation.
