Webui is on port 9091, the settings.json file in /config has extra settings not available in the webui. Stop the container before editing it or any changes won't be saved.

## Securing the webui with a username/password.
2020-03-29 22:07:20 -04:00
Use the `USER` and `PASS` variables in docker run/create/compose to set authentication. Do not manually edit the `settings.json` to input user/pass, otherwise transmission cannot be stopped cleanly by the s6 supervisor.

## Updating Blocklists Automatically
This requires `"blocklist-enabled": true,` to be set. By setting this to true, it is assumed you have also populated `blocklist-url` with a valid block list.
The automatic update is a shell script that downloads a blocklist from the url stored in the settings.json, gunzips it, and restarts the transmission daemon.
The automatic update will run once a day at 3am local server time.

## Using whitelist
2021-02-02 13:29:19 +01:00
Use `WHITELIST` to enable a list of ip as whitelist. This enable support for `rpc-whitelist`. When `WHITELIST` is empty support for whitelist is disabled.
Use `HOST_WHITELIST` to enable an list of dns names as host-whitelist. This enable support for `rpc-host-whitelist`. When `HOST_WHITELIST` is empty support for host-whitelist is disabled.
2021-12-23 10:10:07 -05:00
## Use alternative Transmission torrent ports
Use `PEERPORT` to specify the port(s) Transmission should listen on. This disables random port selection. This should be the same as the port mapped in your docker configuration.
