## Summary - Upgrade Transmission from 4.0.6-r4 to 4.1.1-r1 - Uses Alpine edge community repo for transmission packages, keeping stable alpine:3.22 base - Fix stale image reference in service doc (was linuxserver, now custom registry image) - Mark transmission as reviewed in service-versions.yaml ## Context Service review found Transmission two minor versions behind (4.0.6 → 4.1.1). Alpine 3.22 only packages 4.0.6, so transmission is installed from edge's community repo with an exact version pin. 4.1.0 added improved µTP performance, IPv6/dual-stack UDP tracker, JSON-RPC 2.0 API. 4.1.1 is a bugfix release (20+ fixes). Dagger test build passed locally. ## Deployment and Testing - [ ] Build container via Forgejo workflow (`mise run container-build-and-release transmission`) - [ ] Update kustomization.yaml with new image tag - [ ] `argocd app set torrent --revision feature/transmission-review && argocd app sync torrent` - [ ] Verify web UI at https://torrent.ops.eblu.me - [ ] Check Grafana Transmission dashboard still receives metrics - [ ] After merge: `argocd app set torrent --revision main && argocd app sync torrent` ## Note The transmission-exporter sidecar (OOMKilling every ~30min, 294 restarts) is being tracked separately as a future replacement project.

# Transmission
|
|
|
|
BitTorrent daemon, primarily for downloading ZIM archives for [[kiwix]].
|
|
|
|
## Quick Reference
|
|
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
|----------|-------|
|
|
| **URL** | https://torrent.ops.eblu.me |
|
|
| **Tailscale URL** | https://torrent.tail8d86e.ts.net |
|
|
| **Namespace** | `torrent` |
|
|
| **Image** | `registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/transmission` |
|
|
| **Storage** | NFS PVC from [[sifaka|Sifaka]] |
|
|
|
|
## Storage Layout
|
|
|
|
NFS share on sifaka (`/volume1/torrents`):
|
|
|
|
| Path | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| `/downloads/` | Active downloads and metadata |
|
|
| `/downloads/complete/` | Completed downloads |
|
|
| `/config/` | Transmission configuration |
|
|
| `/watch/` | Watch directory for .torrent files |
|
|
|
|
[[kiwix]] reads from `/downloads/complete/` to serve ZIM archives.
|
|
|
|
## Integration with Kiwix
|
|
|
|
The Kiwix deployment includes a torrent-sync sidecar that:
|
|
1. Reads ZIM torrent list from ConfigMap
|
|
2. Adds missing torrents via RPC
|
|
3. Runs on startup and every 30 minutes
|
|
|
|
When downloads complete, the zim-watcher CronJob detects new ZIMs and restarts Kiwix.
|
|
|
|
## Monitoring
|
|
|
|
Basic uptime via blackbox probe in [[alloy|Alloy]] k8s (Services Health dashboard).
|
|
|
|
Web UI shows: active/seeding/paused counts, speeds, disk usage.
