TrguiNG
Remote GUI for Transmission torrent daemon
TrguiNG is a rewrite of transgui
project using tauri.
Frontend is written in typescript with react.js and
mantine library. Backend for the app is written in
rust.
You can use this program in 2 ways: as a native Windows/Linux/Mac app and as a web gui
served by transmission itself by setting $TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable
to point to TrguiNG web assets.
There are screenshots of the app available on the
project wiki.
Some differentiating features:
Multi tabbed interface for concurrent server connections (native app only)
Torrent creation with fast multi threaded hashing (native app only)
Powerful torrent filtering options
Latest transmission features support: labels, bandwidth groups, sequential download
You can get the latest release from the
releases page.
Weekly builds of current development version are available from github
build workflows.
Pick the latest successful run and scroll down to the artifacts section.
This will generate optimized bundle in dist and a release binary in src-tauri/target/release folder.
Also installer package will be available in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/....
The binary is statically linked and embeds all necessary assets except for the geoip database.
It is completely self sufficient and can be used as a portable executable but for geoip lookup to work you
need to install the app with provided installer.
For development run in parallel
$ npm run webpack-serve
$ npm run tauri-dev
Webpack will automatically watch changes in src/ and refresh the app view, tauri will watch changes
in src-tauri/ and rebuild/restart the app as needed.
How to use TrguiNG as a web interface
Transmission supports custom web interfaces, all you have to do is run the daemon with
$TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME variable pointing to the web assets that transmissinon will serve
over it's .../transmission/web/ endpoint.
Example steps for debian:
Download latest trguing-web-xxxx.zip zip from releases
page.
Unpack it anywhere, make sure that the user transmission runs under (by default debian-transmission)
has read permissions.
Edit transmission daemon systemd unit file /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/transmission-daemon.service
and add following to [Service] section:
