Transmission 4.1.3 BitTorrent client on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg. Built from official source, runs as a systemd service with the bundled web UI and RPC API fronted by nginx on port 80. Transmission's own RPC authentication with a per-VM password on first boot, downloads on a dedicated data disk. GPL-2.0-or-later / GPL-3.0-or-later licensed.
Transmission is a fast, lightweight, cross-platform BitTorrent client. transmission-daemon runs quietly in the background and exposes both an RPC API and a bundled web interface so you can add magnet links or .torrent files and manage your downloads entirely from a browser - no desktop client required. Use it to legally distribute or receive content you have the right to share: Linux distribution ISOs, open-source project releases, public-domain media and open movies, or your own files and backups. The cloudimg image builds the pinned Transmission 4.1.3 from the official source release (Ubuntu 24.04's own package is an older 4.0.x) and runs it as a dedicated transmission system user under systemd. The web UI and RPC endpoint are fronted by nginx on port 80, protected end-to-end by Transmission's own username/password RPC authentication generated uniquely on first boot - not nginx Basic Auth. Downloads, settings and torrent state live entirely on a dedicated 20 GiB Azure data disk captured into the image, and an unauthenticated /healthz endpoint is provided for Azure Load Balancer probes. GPL-2.0-or-later / GPL-3.0-or-later licensed. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
