Transmission is a flexible BitTorrent client that offers a variety of graphical and command-line interfaces. A transmission-daemon-service-type service provides Transmission’s headless variant, transmission-daemon, as a system service, allowing users to share files via BitTorrent even when they are not logged in.

Variable: transmission-daemon-service-type

The service type for the Transmission Daemon BitTorrent client. Its value must be a transmission-daemon-configuration object as in this example:

(service transmission-daemon-service-type
         (transmission-daemon-configuration
          ;; Restrict access to the RPC ("control") interface
          (rpc-authentication-required? #t)
          (rpc-username "transmission")
          (rpc-password
           (transmission-password-hash
            "transmission" ; desired password
            "uKd1uMs9"))   ; arbitrary salt value

          ;; Accept requests from this and other hosts on the
          ;; local network
          (rpc-whitelist-enabled? #t)
          (rpc-whitelist '("::1" "127.0.0.1" "192.168.0.*"))

          ;; Limit bandwidth use during work hours
          (alt-speed-down (* 1024 2)) ;   2 MB/s
          (alt-speed-up 512)          ; 512 kB/s

          (alt-speed-time-enabled? #t)
          (alt-speed-time-day 'weekdays)
          (alt-speed-time-begin
           (+ (* 60 8) 30))           ; 8:30 am
          (alt-speed-time-end
           (+ (* 60 (+ 12 5)) 30))))  ; 5:30 pm

Once the service is started, users can interact with the daemon through its Web interface (at http://localhost:9091/) or by using the transmission-remote command-line tool, available in the transmission package. (Emacs users may want to also consider the emacs-transmission package.) Both communicate with the daemon through its remote procedure call (RPC) interface, which by default is available to all users on the system; you may wish to change this by assigning values to the rpc-authentication-required?, rpc-username and rpc-password settings, as shown in the example above and documented further below.

The value for rpc-password must be a password hash of the type generated and used by Transmission clients. This can be copied verbatim from an existing settings.json file, if another Transmission client is already being used. Otherwise, the transmission-password-hash and transmission-random-salt procedures provided by this module can be used to obtain a suitable hash value.

Procedure: transmission-password-hash password salt

Returns a string containing the result of hashing password together with salt, in the format recognized by Transmission clients for their rpc-password configuration setting.

salt must be an eight-character string. The transmission-random-salt procedure can be used to generate a suitable salt value at random.

Procedure: transmission-random-salt

Returns a string containing a random, eight-character salt value of the type generated and used by Transmission clients, suitable for passing to the transmission-password-hash procedure.

These procedures are accessible from within a Guile REPL started with the guix repl command (see Вызов guix repl). This is useful for obtaining a random salt value to provide as the second parameter to ‘transmission-password-hash‘, as in this example session:

$ guix repl
scheme@(guix-user)> ,use (gnu services file-sharing)
scheme@(guix-user)> (transmission-random-salt)
$1 = "uKd1uMs9"

Alternatively, a complete password hash can generated in a single step:

scheme@(guix-user)> (transmission-password-hash "transmission"
(transmission-random-salt))
$2 = "{c8bbc6d1740cd8dc819a6e25563b67812c1c19c9VtFPfdsX"

The resulting string can be used as-is for the value of rpc-password, allowing the password to be kept hidden even in the operating-system configuration.

Torrent files downloaded by the daemon are directly accessible only to users in the “transmission” user group, who receive read-only access to the directory specified by the download-dir configuration setting (and also the directory specified by incomplete-dir, if incomplete-dir-enabled? is #t). Downloaded files can be moved to another directory or deleted altogether using transmission-remote with its --move and --remove-and-delete options.

If the watch-dir-enabled? setting is set to #t, users in the “transmission” group are able also to place .torrent files in the directory specified by watch-dir to have the corresponding torrents added by the daemon. (The trash-original-torrent-files? setting controls whether the daemon deletes these files after processing them.)

Some of the daemon’s configuration settings can be changed temporarily by transmission-remote and similar tools. To undo these changes, use the service’s reload action to have the daemon reload its settings from disk:

herd start ssh-daemon

The full set of available configuration settings is defined by the transmission-daemon-configuration data type.

Тип данных: build-machine

The data type representing configuration settings for Transmission Daemon. These correspond directly to the settings recognized by Transmission clients in their settings.json file.

Available transmission-daemon-configuration fields are:

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: package transmission

Используемый пакет nfs-utils.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: non-negative-integer stop-wait-period

The period, in seconds, to wait when stopping the service for transmission-daemon to exit before killing its process. This allows the daemon time to complete its housekeeping and send a final update to trackers as it shuts down. On slow hosts, or hosts with a slow network connection, this value may need to be increased.

Defaults to ‘10’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: string download-dir

The directory to which torrent files are downloaded.

Defaults to ‘"/var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads"’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: boolean incomplete-dir-enabled?

If #t, files will be held in incomplete-dir while their torrent is being downloaded, then moved to download-dir once the torrent is complete. Otherwise, files for all torrents (including those still being downloaded) will be placed in download-dir.

Defaults to ‘#f’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: maybe-string incomplete-dir

The directory in which files from incompletely downloaded torrents will be held when incomplete-dir-enabled? is #t.

Defaults to ‘#f’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: non-negative-integer alt-speed-down

The alternate global-maximum download speed, in kilobytes per second.

Defaults to ‘50’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: non-negative-integer alt-speed-up

The alternate global-maximum upload speed, in kilobytes per second.

Defaults to ‘50’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: boolean alt-speed-time-enabled?

When #t, the alternate speed limits alt-speed-down and alt-speed-up will be enabled automatically during the periods specified by alt-speed-time-day, alt-speed-time-begin and alt-time-speed-end.

Defaults to ‘#f’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: day-list alt-speed-time-day

The days of the week on which the alternate-speed schedule should be used, specified either as a list of days (sunday, monday, and so on) or using one of the symbols weekdays, weekends or all.

Defaults to ‘"::"’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: boolean peer-port-random-on-start?

If #t, when the daemon starts it will select a port at random on which to listen for peer connections, from the range specified (inclusively) by peer-port-random-low and peer-port-random-high. Otherwise, it listens on the port specified by peer-port.

Defaults to ‘#f’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: port-number peer-port-random-low

The encryption preference for peer connections, one of prefer-unencrypted-connections, prefer-encrypted-connections or require-encrypted-connections.

Defaults to ‘prefer-encrypted-connections’.

transmission-daemon-configuration parameter: maybe-string peer-congestion-algorithm

The TCP congestion-control algorithm to use for peer connections, specified using a string recognized by the operating system in calls to setsockopt. When left unspecified, the operating-system default is used.

Note that on GNU/Linux systems, the kernel must be configured to allow processes to use a congestion-control algorithm not in the default set; otherwise, it will deny these requests with “Operation not permitted”. To see which algorithms are available on your system and which are currently permitted for use, look at the contents of the files tcp_available_congestion_control and tcp_allowed_congestion_control in the /proc/sys/net/ipv4 directory.

As an example, to have Transmission Daemon use the TCP Low Priority congestion-control algorithm, you’ll need to modify your kernel configuration to build in support for the algorithm, then update your operating-system configuration to allow its use by adding a sysctl-service-type service (or updating the existing one’s configuration) with lines like the following:

(service cups-service-type
         (cups-configuration
           (web-interface? #t)
           (extensions
             (list cups-filters epson-inkjet-printer-escpr hplip-minimal))))

The Transmission Daemon configuration can then be updated with

(peer-congestion-algorithm "lp")

and the system reconfigured to have the changes take effect.
