HTTP server for add torrents

node scripts/server-torrent-add.js

Then you can add torrents via open urls like http://localhost:10293/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbt.weburg.net%2Fgettorrent.php%3Fsecuritykey%3D70c3fcb98000761e78ea2b9c8bedd69e%26user_id%3D151954%26info_hash%3D9f67aa271026be1ca2d7c6b4a88f9417455d64f5, _(*5)

You can also add userscript to your browser, scripts/weburg-torrent-add.user.js, _(*6)

Install

PHAR automatic (Recommended)

latest_phar=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/popstas/transmission-cli/releases/latest | grep 'browser_' | cut -d\" -f4)
wget -O /usr/local/bin/transmission-cli "$latest_phar"
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/transmission-cli

PHAR manually

Download latest transmission-cli.phar here, make it executable and put it to bin directory., _(*7)

Composer global

composer global require popstas/transmission-cli

If you cannot execute transmission-cli after that, probably you should add ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin to your PATH environment variable as described here., _(*8)

Composer from source:

git clone https://github.com/popstas/transmission-cli
cd transmission-cli
composer install
ln -s "$PWD"/bin/transmission-cli /usr/local/bin/transmission-cli

Configure

Default config placement: ~/.transmission-cli.yml. It creates on first run. You can change some parameters here., _(*9)

Also, you can pass config to command: transmission-cli --config /path/to/config.yml, _(*10)

Commands weburg-download, weburg-series-add, interacts only with weburg.net and not requests to Transmission or InfluxDb., _(*11)

You can use download-filename-whitelist and download-filename-blacklist lists for filter torrents before download., _(*12)

About torrent duplicates

By default, transmission-cli prevents send stats to InfluxDB when you have torrents with same names in your Transmission, because it make stats about these torrents wrong. If it not matters for you, you can use allow-duplicates option in config. When allow-duplicates: true defined in config, transmission-cli will allow to stats-send with duplicates and don't ask to remove duplicates after torrent-add command., _(*13)

Transmission

If you want to make commands torrent-* working, you should enable remote access in Transmission and add host, port, username, password if it not defaults., _(*14)

By default, transmission-cli request to Transmission on localhost:9091 without user and password. You can change it in ~/.transmission-cli.yml., _(*15)

You can override default config: --transmission-host, --transmission-port, --transmission-user, --transmission-password, _(*16)

Also, maybe you want to automatically download movies, not only torrent files. To do that, enable autodownload in Transmission and point to same directory in --dest= option., _(*17)

InfluxDB and Grafana

You need to install it for drawing torrent graphics., _(*18)

InfluxDB, _(*19)

Simplest way to install InfluxDB - Docker:, _(*20)

docker run --name influxdb -d --restart=always \
    -v /Users/popstas/lib/influxdb:/data \
    -p 8083:8083 -p 8086:8086 \
    influxdb

And if you don't want to see detailed stats about your torrents, you may not install InfluxDB, commands stats-* will not working., _(*21)

Grafana, _(*22)

Run Grafana with Docker

docker run --name grafana -d \
    -v /Users/popstas/lib/grafana:/var/lib/grafana \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    -e "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER=admin" \
    -e "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret" \
    grafana/grafana

Add InfluxDB as data source "influxdb" to Grafana, choose database "transmission".
Import dashboard - grafana-torrents.json

If you don't want to see graphs, Grafana not necessary., _(*23)

autocompletion for bash/zsh:

source <(transmission-cli _completion --generate-hook)

Cron

Then, add to cron tasks like this:, _(*24)

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:~/.config/composer/vendor/bin"
59 * * * * transmission-cli torrent-remove-duplicates --yes --transmission-host=localhost
59 * * * * transmission-cli torrent-remove-duplicates --yes --transmission-host=wrtnsq
0  * * * * transmission-cli stats-send --transmission-host=localhost
0  * * * * transmission-cli stats-send --transmission-host=wrtnsq
1  2 * * * transmission-cli weburg-download --yes --download-torrents-dir=/Volumes/media/_planeta/_torrents

Don't forget add to cron PATH your ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin if you installed transmission-cli with composer global!, _(*25)
