Transmission is a BitTorrent client. This formula is intended for use with the transmission-daemon package, which is accessed through a web interface or a command-line interface.
Note
See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.
Installs the transmission-daemon package.
Includes the transmission state.
Use this state to populate the settings.json file that the daemon reads settings from.
The settings.json file generated by the transmission.config state is created directly from the transmission_daemon_settings pillar key. Consult the Transmission wiki's page on the config file for a listing of all the available settings.
Please note that the daemon dumps all of its settings to the settings.json file every time it stops. When it writes the settings back, it writes a hash of the rpc-password instead of the unhashed value. In pillar, you can store either the unhashed password or the hashed password. If you have the unhashed password in pillar, the unhashed password is quickly hashed on the minion, so the unhashed value doesn't remain on the minion's file system for long.
Also, the settings that appear in the settings.json file change depending on the version of transmission packaged by each distro. The pillar.example was based on the default transmission-daemon config from Debian Wheezy (with some minor changes), and has some settings that aren't used by the daemon in the Fedora repos, and vice versa.
When you execute the transmission.config state, you will see that salt keeps on either removing or adding back certain lines in the file diff. This means that you should either remove the setting from pillar or add the setting to pillar, respectively.
