| 1 | = Transmission-Daemon Notes for Arch Linux based Distributions = |
| 2 | |
| 3 | If you are using a [http://www.archlinux.org/ Arch] based distribution, the notes on this page override the default transmission-daemon values stated [wiki:HeadlessUsage/General elsewhere on this site]. |

| 5 | == Default Locations == |
| 6 | || '''Item''' || '''Location''' || |
| 7 | || Daemon init script || {{{/etc/rc.d/transmissiond}}} || |
| 8 | || Options, Configuration, daemon enable || {{{/etc/conf.d//transmissiond}}} || |
| 9 | || settings.json || {{{~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json }}} || |
| 10 | |
| 11 | == Environment Variables == |
| 12 | The file /etc/conf.d/transmissiond should be edited to reflect the desired transmission-daemon user (your regular user is fine) and to uncomment the relevant lines. Note that by default the -g option is used in TRANS_ARGS to tell transmission-daemon to use its own settings.json. You may wish to point -g instead to your perhaps-already-installed transmission-gtk settings.json, i.e., ~/.config/transmission/settings.json |
| 13 | {{{ |
| 14 | # TRANSMISSION_HOME=/home/foo |
| 15 | # TRANS_USER="foo" |
| 16 | # TRANS_ARGS="-g $TRANSMISSION_HOME/.config/transmission-daemon" |
