feat(extras/scripts): update Transmission peer port #2611
Conversation
The script `transmission-port-update.sh` updates the _peer port_ used by the torrent client Transmission. The peer port is the port used and announced by Transmission to accept incoming connections.

I've used this script and it worked on the first try. Thank you! |
|
Just reporting that I've been using this for over a month and it's been working flawlessly 👌 |
- better error handling - support for comma-separated list of ports (use only first one) - style corrections - improved messages

consider wrapping this in a loop, which fails after some retries:
i=1
while [ "$i" -le $MAX_RETRIES ]; do
# get the X-Transmission-Session-Id
# shellcheck disable=SC2086
SESSION_ID=$(
wget \
--quiet \
${WGET_OPTS} \
--server-response \
"$RPC_URL" 2>&1 |
grep 'X-Transmission-Session-Id:' |
awk '{print $2}'
)
if [ -n "$SESSION_ID" ]; then
echo "Transmission available. SESSION_ID: $SESSION_ID"
break
else
echo "Attempt $i of $MAX_RETRIES failed, waiting for next attempt..."
sleep 5
fi
i=$(( i + 1 ))
done

The script
transmission-port-update.shupdates the peer port used by the torrent client Transmission using its API. The peer port is the port used and announced by Transmission to accept incoming connections. You can use this script to set a VPN forwarded port as the current listening port for Transmission.The script uses only shell scripting and can run out of the box within the current
gluetundocker image, it only relies on the commandwget, which is already included by default in the image.
