I have a lot of problems with stability using the linuxserver/transmission
docker image in my *arr stack. I setup restarting on unhealthy status in docker compose (using the following test command curl --fail http://localhost:9091 || exit 1
) but even then, sometimes I just find that my donwloads have stopped and find that the container is not running at all. Do you have an alternative to suggest, which could run in docker compose?
Im running qbit in docker and haven't had a single issue with it.
I'll give it a go! Is there a GUI for it? I like to sometimes check the progress live and transmission provides that out of the box.
Seems to work very nicely and it's much more responsive than transmission. Great, thanks!
Thanks for all the suggestions! I switched to qbittorrent and it works nicely for now. The web ui is fine for the little I use it so all good! I'll report if something starts failing again which would indicate another issue with me setup.
I've been very pleased with this qbittorrent docker image which includes two modern web UIs bundled in with it: https://hotio.dev/containers/qbittorrent/
Maybe you could just try a different Transmission docker image or build your own? Sounds like some weird instability in that particular version.
I used deluge but it has like a 1000 torrent limit before it starts lagging. Plus there's no search bar.
I really like rutorrent
Hello, I use this on since 2-3 year without issues. It restart itself in case of VPN failure, and I didn't notice any issue with transmission. I have 4 runnings in parallels. https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn
