Transmission

Transmission, the lightweight web interface BitTorrent server that allows you to download BitTorrent files.

USB dedicated hard drive highly recommended

Transmission web interface screenshot

The web interface is accessible via port 9091:

  • URL: http://<your.IP>:9091
  • Username: root
  • Password: <your global password>

Make sure you have one of DietPi’s File Servers installed.
Folders used by Transmission:

  • folder accessed via file server: downloads
  • local folder: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads

DietPi sets up Transmission to use port forwarding on the router.
In rare cases this won’t work with some routers and you will need to manually setup port forwarding:

  • Use TCP+UDP with the default DietPi transmission port of 51413.
  • Point this port to the IP address of your DietPi system.

Once port forwarding is setup, simply complete the following to update transmission:

  • Load up the transmission web interface
  • Click the settings button (bottom left spanner)
  • Click the network tab
  • Where is says Use port forwarding on my router, uncheck this box.

Simply close and reopen this screen to refresh the port status.

Although we enable forced encryption on all our BitTorrent clients, if you wish to ensure complete privacy and piece of mind for all your downloaded content, using a VPN is critical. We highly recommend NordVPN as it offers unlimited bandwidth, zero logging and up to 6 devices on a single account. It can be easily setup using our DietPi-VPN tool.

Deluge

Deluge, the web interface BitTorrent server that allows you to download BitTorrent files. This Python coded BitTorrent server is an alternative to the Lightweight Transmission option.

USB dedicated hard drive highly recommended

Deluge web interface screenshot

The web interface is accessible via port 8112:

  • URL: http://<your.IP>:8112
  • Password: <your global password>

Select the host 127.0.0.1 and click connect.

sudo -u debian-deluged deluge-console
  • Open up Deluge client on your other system
  • Select Preferences > Interface and disable (uncheck) Classic Mode. Save changes and restart Deluge
  • When the connection manager appears, select Add.

    • Username: root
    • Password: <your global password>
  • Simply select and connect to the new entry

Make sure you have one of DietPi’s File Servers installed.

qBittorrent

qBittorrent is a lightweight BitTorrent server with a slick web interface. As its coded in C++ (Qt), it offers excellent performance on any device.

USB dedicated hard drive highly recommended

qBittorrent web interface screenshot

The web interface is accessible via port 1340:

  • URL: http://<your.IP>:1340
  • Username: qbittorrent
  • Password: <your global password> (default: dietpi)
    NB: Since qBittorrent v4.2.0 (Debian Bullseye), a new safer hash algorithm is used, which we are currently not able to replicate dynamically for the global software password with common shell tools. Until then, for your first login the password is dietpi. Please change it directly after first login: MichaIng/DietPi#5078

Make sure you have one of DietPi’s File Servers installed.
Folders used by qBittorrent:

  • Folder accessed via file server: downloads
  • Local folder: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads

Before activating search plugins within qBittorrent, you would need to install Python first. Afterwards you can search and activate the plugins.

Although we enable forced encryption on all our BitTorrent clients, if you wish to ensure complete privacy and piece of mind for all your downloaded content, using a VPN is critical.

rTorrent

rTorrent is a BitTorrent server. ruTorrent is also installed to allow for web interface access and control.

Also installs:

  • Webserver

USB dedicated hard drive highly recommended

ruTorrent screenshot

  • URL: http://<your.IP>/rutorrent
  • Username: root
  • Password: <your global password> (default: dietpi)

The login credentials can be changed, depending on the webserver choice, with the following commands:

# With Lighttpd (default):
echo "username:rtorrent:$(echo -n 'username:rtorrent:password' | md5sum | mawk '{print $1}')" > /etc/.rutorrent-htaccess

# With Apache:
htpasswd -c /etc/.rutorrent-htaccess

# With Nginx:
echo "username:$(openssl passwd -apr1 'password')" > /etc/.rutorrent-htaccess

Make sure you have one of DietPi’s File Servers installed.
Folders used by rTorrent:

  • Folder accessed via file server: downloads
  • Local folder: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads

Important note:
rTorrent creates a lock file based on the systems hostname. When the hostname is changed (e.g. via dietpi-config > Security Options), then the old lock file needs to be removed to allow rTorrent creating a new one based on the new hostname:

rm /mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads/.session/rtorrent.lock
systemctl restart rtorrent

rTorrent by default listens on the UNIX domain socket at /mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads/.session/rpc.socket. The webserver is configured to proxy http://<your.IP>/RPC2 calls to the UNIX socket, but HTTP authentication is enforced for that URL.

Although we enable forced encryption on all our BitTorrent clients, if you wish to ensure complete privacy and piece of mind for all your downloaded content, using a VPN is critical. We highly recommend NordVPN as it offers unlimited bandwidth, zero logging and up to 6 devices on a single account. It can be easily setup using our DietPi-VPN tool.

To view rTorrent service logs, run the following command:

journalctl -u rtorrent

Issues with the web interface can be debugged via webserver logs:

# With Lighttpd (default):
journalctl -u lighttpd
more /var/log/lighttpd/error.log

# With Apache:
journalctl -u apache2
more /var/log/apache2/error.log

# With Nginx:
journalctl -u nginx
more /var/log/nginx/error.log

rTorrent itself is installed via APT, and hence can be updated by running the following commands:

apt update
apt install rtorrent

If the ruTorrent web interface shall be updated as well, easiest is a reinstall:

dietpi-software reinstall 107
