Installing Transmission on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Introduction

Transmission is a free and open-source BitTorrent client that lets you download and share files over the internet. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Transmission on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS, which is an open-source and minimal operating system.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, make sure you have the following:

• A virtual machine or a physical machine running Fedora CoreOS Latest.
• An internet connection.

Step 1: Update the system

Before installing any new software, it's always a good idea to update the system to the latest version. To update Fedora CoreOS, run the following command:

$ sudo rpm-ostree update

This command will download and install any available updates for your system.

Step 2: Install Transmission

To install Transmission on Fedora CoreOS Latest, run the following command:

$ sudo podman run --name transmission -d \
-v /path/to/config:/config \
-v /path/to/downloads:/downloads \
-p 9091:9091 \
transmission/transmission

Here is what this command does:

• sudo podman run: Runs a container using Podman, a container management tool for Linux.
• --name transmission: Names the container "transmission" for easy reference.
• -d: Runs the container in the background.
• -v /path/to/config:/config: Mounts the configuration directory on your host machine at /path/to/config to the /config directory inside the container.
• -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads: Mounts the directory where you want the downloaded files to be stored on your host machine at /path/to/downloads to the /downloads directory inside the container.
• -p 9091:9091: Exposes port 9091 on the container to port 9091 on your host machine. This is the port used by the Transmission web interface.
• transmission/transmission: Specifies the image to be used for the container. This image contains the Transmission software and is publicly available on Docker Hub.

Step 3: Access the Transmission web interface

Once the container is running, you can access the Transmission web interface by navigating to http://<your_ip_address>:9091 in a web browser. Keep in mind that you will need to replace <your_ip_address> with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS Latest machine.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to install Transmission on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS using Podman. With Transmission installed, you can readily download and share files over the internet.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
