Transmission on LibreElec

 Running Transmission on LibreElec

Libreelec delivers a robust platform for media playback but the built-in networking makes it a strong NAS OS and with the addition of USB and Gigabit ethernet in the RPi4 it can be used as a low-cost NAS,

Unlike commercial solutions that need special power supplies and parts, RPi4 is low-cost and simple to build.



Recommended Setup (for 24x7x365 operation)

  1. Boot from SSD, not SD card/speed reliability 
  2. Ensure all media is stored on network disks (HD are fine)
  3. Mount network drives as permanent SMB locations

High Level

  1. Install LibreElec as normal set-up and test
  2. Add the linuxservers.io repository
  3. Add docker 
  4. Set up Transmission using https://gitlab.com/jaymoulin/docker-transmission
  5. Add cron jobs (local or remote) to remove completed torrents, move files etc
