Known Bugs:

When Transmission page is accessed after install, it will show "403: Forbidden". Here is a workaround for this issue:

Log into your FreedomBox using the console or SSH.

Edit the Transmission configuration: $ sudo vi /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json Change "rpc-whitelist-enabled" to false. Save and quit.

Reload the Transmission server. $ sudo invoke-rc.d transmission-daemon reload Important: Make sure you reload instead of restart* the service. Otherwise your changes to the configuration will get overwritten.

Access the Transmission page at https://freedombox.local/transmission or similar.
