Not that I know, you need to look at the logs of transmission, see why it crashes if there is any indication there.
what version of transmission is installed
dpkg -l | grep transmission
Transmission 1.4 is installed.
This is the permissions error: https://gyazo.com/656fa084921c99ba2542a8b7340745bb
This is the crash error: https://gyazo.com/1d1feea30724986b3902ec41b3055c38
What kind of crash? The server goes down entirely or just transmission ?
The BitTorrent plugin is pretty much useless now as it keeps on losing connection to transmission. Any way to solve this?
Yes, and I'm not sure what that means. Do you mean will the ACLs show up in the web GUI? I'm not sure. Will they work with other things that OMV does? Sure. FACLs are pretty well supported in Linux.
great thanks
Alles anzeigenThe torrent daemon runs as the "debian-transmission" user. That user will need to have access to whatever directory he's trying to download to. However, when it creates files, it'll create them owned by it. I would recommend using FACLs to set this up. Let's pretend you want these files to go into "/data/torrent/downloads". I would put your friend's user into some group, I'll call it "Torrenters" and then do:
chown -R nobody:Torrenters /data/torrent/downloads
chmod -R u+rwX,g+rwX,o-rwX /data/torrent/downloads
setfacl -R -m u:debian-transmission:rwX /data/torrent/downloads
setfacl -R -m d:u:debian-transmission:rwX /data/torrent/downloads
setfacl -R -m d:g:Torrenters:rwX /data/torrent/downloads
What this does is the following:
- Set the ownership of the download directory to be owned by no user and the Torrenters group
- Set the directory to be readable (r), writable (w), and executable (X) by the owner user and groups and no one else.
- Add a File Access Control entry that gives the user (u) debian-transmission read, write, and execute on that directory.
- Add a File Access Control entry that will default (d) to giving the user (u) debian-transmission read (r), write (w), and execute (X) on any new files or directories created in that directory.
- Add a File Access Control entry that will default (d) to giving the group (g) Torrenters read (r), write (w), and execute (x) on any new files and directories created in that directory.
Note that "-R" makes it recursive, so all of the contents will receive these settings and using a capitol X instead of a lowercase x means that only those files that are already executable will be granted these new executable permissions (including directories). This is a useful way of setting execute only on those files where it's necessary. So with the default ACLs, if you create a new regular file or you torrent a regular file, it will not be executable by anyone. As soon as you "chmod +x" it, it should be executable by everyone with the proper default ACL.
Do I run this all through root? And will this still be compatible with OMV?
What kind of crash? The server goes down entirely or just transmission ?
It says that I lost connection to transmission, and all downloads stop until I reboot the server.
Yes that should be correct, I just hope the address 11.11.11.11 is a joke or an "if" only.
transmission runs under a system daemon, he has no write access to shares by default, you can reset permissions to 777 mode in the tab next to shared folders
Do you have any idea why the service keeps crashing when I use the transmission web interface?

Yes it is a fake ip. And I'll look into that
It is not a good idea to let some one be using your Torrent service.
and why not? I know this man irl and have complete trust in him. The build of the service is more or less for him
So he can access transmission, but when he tries to download something, it works for a little while, then stops under the pretext of "Denied Access" what is this about? In addition, after about 5 min, the services crashes and I have to do a complete server reboot to get it working again. This is hardly a service that is working atm. Im sure it is on my end. What can I do about this?
so the only way to have him access it is by having him input the port thing as above?
If my IP is 11.11.11.11
it would look like http://11.11.11.11_homeomv:9091/transmission/web/
correct?
EDIT: I got it. I think I understand this better and what I am going to do about it. Thanks!
What is the point of the plugin if he has to jump through hoops like that just to use it?
And what about the other plugins? I'm not sure I get the point of OMV if you can't use the plugins I've installed for them
You can't, is by design.
he can access transmission on port 9091
How do I have him switch his ports in order to do that? Where would he do that exactly?
Im not sure I get the point of a service that my users can't use without jumping through hoops...
What happens when I add other plugins? How is that supposed to work??
I am rather new to this but I came across a new road block.
I set up the file system and installed the BitTorrent plugin thanks to OMV Extras.
I can use it, and have, and it works fine!
However, when I made an account for my friend and he was able to log in to the OMV web interface, he didn't have BitTorrent under the "services" tab like I do as admin. How can I enable this for him so he can use it? Thanks!
Is strange, did you mount it with omv?
can you press the unmount button and mount it again, then try again to create a share.
Sorry I am really dumb and new to this. But as it turns out it was working all along! Thank you so much!
Yes you didn't partition your disk (the omv installer doesn't allow it either). The OS disk is reserved for the omv and cannot be used for sharing folders.
You can boot systemrescuecd and use gparted to re size the partition. After partition, format the…
So I went ahead and did that. Still can't do it. I am at a loss now.
I used gparted and resized the partition. Then with that created a new partition, gave it a name and such.
Went into the web client of OMV, it is listed. I mounted it. Still cannot select it.
Did I mistep somewhere? Am I not supposed to use the "new" function in gparted to format the empty made from resizing the original single partition?
Hello! I am completely new to this so I am a bit lost.
When I go to make a new file system, and hit the "CREATE" button, then hit the drop down menu for "Devices" nothing comes up and thus I can not make a file system.
I have only one partition, a 600gb HDD that OMV is installed on to.
Is there something I need to do to activate this so I can use it to make the file system? Until I figure this out I am rather SOL.
Thanks!
