Migrate transmission from Synology to raspbian

Post by Locke108 »

I have transmission v3 installed via synocommumity on my ds218 Synology running dsm 6.2

I have about 1000 torrents running.

I want to move transmission to raspbian buster lite with the download files still residing in Synology nas.

I have made a backup of the Synology transmission var folder containing torrents, resume data, stats, etc.

How do I setup transmission on raspbian buster lite so that it loads up all the 1000 torrents pointing to files in the Synology nas?

I want to upgrade my Synology NAS to dsm 7. DSM 7 unfortunately breaks transmission.

So, moving transmission to raspberry pi.

Setup your NAS as an NFS-server. Setup your Pi as an NFS-client. Mount your server disks on your Pi. Find the old download dir on your NAS. In settings.json on your Pi:

Code: Select all

    "download-dir": "/path/to/nfsmount/and/download/dir",
