logfile linuxserver/transmission docker

[isaacItz]

Hi everyone,

does anyone know how to turn on --logfile flag on the docker image linuxserver/transmission?

I've been trying by several ways, but nothing so far

this is what i've tried:

• add logfile to setttings.json:
  "logfile": "/tmp/transmission.log",
• mount the edited file under: /run/service/svc-transmission/run
  but I'm getting this error when running the container (seems it's because /run is to store temporary files:
  s6-rmrf: fatal: unable to remove /run/s6: Resource busy
  s6-overlay-suexec: fatal: child failed with exit code 111
• edited the cmd in docker compose:
  but seems because is using s6 supervisor and not the transmission daemon it does not recognise the --logfile flag

Has anyone been through this before? I would really appreciate some help.

Ive had issues with editing the settings.json file before. I think it was because I hadnt shut down the container before editing the settings.json file. The settings.json file has -rw------- permissions for me, so make sure that and ownership dont change when you edit the file.

If that doesnt work, you could try modifying the /usr/bin/transmission-daemon command the s6 supervisor calls.

Looks like that happens here: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-transmission/blob/548d62e5fe5100ee6a1db950f6ed3ed1fac7fab9/root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/svc-transmission/run#L7-L8

Then rebuild the image manually and see if that gets it to work?
