I like the way you don’t treat us less knowledgeable people like idiots. Often in forums those that reply do so cryptically and provide less than helpful advice. Your videos are a refreshing change.
I appreciate your content! You're detailed and not super fast unlike some other tutorials I've watched. One recommendation I have is have your own tutorial website/blog linked with each tutorial you upload on YT, plus it would be another possible ad income for you. ;)
I found this really useful and helpful. Thank you so much. I hadn't used FreeNAS for some time, and had switched to TrueNAS now anyway, but had forgotten most of how I set up Transmission on FreeNAS at the time 😀All good. One question - is there any possibility of your describing in another video how to add Flexget alongside Transmission please? I also did that on my old FreeNAS but too much time has gone by since I did so. Its not so common a requirement I dont suppose but would really appreciate your expert guidance if you do make such a video. Thanks
Thanks! Only thing I don't like with this setup is a separate IP for the transmission jail. Its enough for me to have to remember the IP of the NAS. I know it can be solved though, just a preference I want...
Hey mate, hoping you can offer some advice but honestly no worries if not this is totally outside the scope of your tutorial. I've got my client installed and my dataset mounted (thanks again) and I'm ready to start torrenting. Is it something like: 1. Create a network share for storing torrent files 2. Mount the share inside my torrent client container (I'm using SCALE) 3. Download torrent files into the network share from my home PC 4. Configure the client to auto load the torrent files and start downloading? Sorry if this is a dumb question haha
You could do it that way, yes, but that's a lot more manual work, when you could just use Sonarr and Radarr to find the content for you, and send it to the torrent client. Check out my video on those at ruclips.net/video/oGkVGhuI5Vw/видео.html and at ruclips.net/video/ZNLRgYkQLs0/видео.html.
Only just come across your videos as I've set up TrueNas this past week. Super handy videos! but wondering why you are manually setting up jails as opposed to using plugins for Transmission or other apps when they exist? Maybe you explained it elsewhere, but very interested to know. Cheers!
Hi Robert, There are a few reasons. 1) If a Plugin fails to install, there's nothing you can do to fix it. 2) Jails created with Plugins are slightly more painful to customize, and (most importantly) 3) it's more fun this way! Pressing a single button is boring. Pressing lots of buttons is fun!
@@BlackbeardSupport Thanks for the reply! I'm all about 3! haha, but coming from unraid, most are all about using the plugins and not manually setting up manual docker containers. I'm new to Jail's in TureNAS. have set up my Plex using the plugin it was smooth thankfully and kept the wife happy i could get her content back online lol. But thanks, it's great to know, just seeing a lot of people saying don't use the plugins in forums etc, but no one elaborates why. Will certainly look at some manual jails in the future.
@@TheGreatWolf13 I think Unraid is set up for more 'set and forget' use cases. It's model is a little less tinkering, a little more 'It just works'. Lots of people don't have that experience, but I do think that's their goal. TrueNAS is a lot more enterprise focused, and you are expected to know a lot about it. The community really takes that to heart, and tends to be a little bit 'Do it yourself'. While you can set it and forget it for most applications, the plugins are more a community supported add on, that don't get any real attention from IXSystems. You're relying a lot on the person who's maintaining the plugin, and they tend to be just an enthusiast somewhere who's doing it for themselves. When it's broken, you are out of luck until someone updates the service, which can be weeks/months/never. The community tends to hate that, and makes it known. If I'm trying a new service, I have a tendency to use a plugin just to get it up and running and see what it's like, but then rebuild it in a jail so I have full control over it.
That's awesome. So happy to discover your channel. Would you recommend to set the IP of that transmission jail with a DMZ within the router? Will this be considered fairly safe? Or I will ask differently, how do I make sure that the ports are open for it properly. Is there any desktop gui that can connect to that service on the TrueNAS? instead of using the web based one, it seems to lack in a lot of things I really miss having.
Well what's happening is after mounting the folder, and starting the service, the folder disappears from the smb share, the file is there when you look for it in the shell though, and 'mv'ing downloaded files within to another visible folder still doesn't make it visible until you chown it to yourself which I find quite odd. It seems as if transmission makes it so the files are only owned by itself? Perhaps transmission is just broken this version.
That is unusual, I haven't experienced that. I'm looking at my SMB share folder right now and it has my transmission downloads in it. Is it possible that your own user profile you use with SMB doesn't have full directory access? Mine recursivly has access to everything in the pool.
@@BlackbeardSupportno it literally takes your permission away, like if you mount an existing folder and start transmission, it vanishes from the smb share. Maybe it’s the latest version that’s broken? Seems like I’m not the only one with this issue, I installed it via the gui though so that might be an outdated version or something. Worth noting that recursively resetting permissions via ACL manager didn’t seem to solve the problem as well.
Weird. I gave it a quick try, and I couldn't even reproduce the problem, so something strange going on there indeed. If you're installing it via a plugin, it wouldn't surprise me if the permissions go strange. Plugins do weird and undocumented things.
I followed this guide but used a mount point to a folder on my SMB share named Torrents. After I did this I am unable to see the folder on my windows pc browsing to that share. Any ideas?
Setting a mount point shouldn't impact the availability of a share, so the two actions are probably unrelated. Is it possible you removed permissions to the share folder for the windows PC user? That could have happened and would explain why it's missing.
Pretty much the same for me ...I lost my movies library I am officially gonna remove truenas as a server everything in truenas is so difficult maybe I'll try Linux Ubuntu
@@BlackbeardSupport I have the same problem. Say I create a new dataset under my pool named "Downloads". The moment I start he jail, it dissappears. I checked the ACL and it mentions "user 921 not found". It changes the ACL!? Why!? I have already set the Torrent-Group in the ACL.
Great videos! I've set up Sonarr and Radarr with your guides, and they work fine in the Web UI. But, Transmission won't come up on port 9091 with the IP for the Jail. "This site can't be reached." Jail is started. Any ideas?
How to change the download directory in the Transmission plugin to /media in TrueNAS? When I change the directory to /media on the Transmission page, downloading works. However, when I restart the plugin, it goes back to the "/usr/local/etc/transmission/home/Downloads" setting. Could you provide step-by-step instructions for an inexperienced person?
Thanks for the tutorials! Two questions: 1) The Ubuntu torrent is sitting idle and I'm unsure how to debug what the issue is. Do you have any guidance for that? 2) Do you have any guides for running openvpn on the transmission jail?
For 1), does it show the number of seeders? When you say idle, do you mean it's stuck on "Initializing", or something else? For 2) I do not. But I will eventually create one!
I can't get this to work. When the jail starts up the mounted folder disappears from my SMB share and it seems like other people in the comment section have this issue too. Any ideas? Edit: I got it working by replacing owner@ and group@ in the ACLs for my network share with User and Group (without the @) and then selecting the specific user and group I made for the SMB share.
Hmm, good question. To be honest I've never used Jellyfin, so I'm not sure. I'll put it on my list of things to do a video on, but it won't be for a while. Sorry! :(
Hi! Thanks for the very detailed video!! You think maybe you can make a youtube tutorial to set up qbittorrent as well? I haven't found any for truenas core
I have been following along on your tutorials and I noticed the trend that you create a group with permissions to the primary dataset for each program in a jail, or jails. This worked great up to a point. I got plex, sonarr, radarr and tautulli going but as I create a new group when I go in to set the permissions TrueNAS does show the new group and a option to select. It only shows me the first few that I made and not all of them. It os like trueNAS only allows me to add a limited small amount of groups to a dataset for some reason. If I can't set permissions for Transmission and Jackett why bother?
That's unusual, you should be able to create hundreds. How many do you have? Could it be a browser issue not loading all of them? Worth checking a different browser.
@@BlackbeardSupport Hey, thank you for your reply! I typically use Chrome without any problems but I just downloaded and installed Edge and see the same thing there, so I do not think that it is browser-related. For some reason, it only shows the first few. I cannot see the transmission-group or Jackett-group or sabnzbd-group that I created, but the others are fine (Tautulli, Radarr, Sonarr, etc) Running Version: TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1. I have tried to delete the groups and re-apply permissions to no avail. Maybe I just keep transmission and sabnzbd off for now.
hi! I've installed Truenas core and just managed to setup and running Transmission, but the destination folder which I gave the transmission user permission to use, just dissappeared from my "normal" user... how to get it back? now I can't even see the download folder in SMB, so I can't use it this way!
several years ago i have built a NAS based on ubuntu server (ATOM CPU+2GB memory more than enough --> transmission, samba, ftpserver, git etc etc), i was thinking now maybe change to truenas. is it worth it? as i see transmission setup not simpler with truenas than with pure ubuntu server but need stronger HW (min 8Gb memory, massive CPU). is it right?
do you think its possible to create a video or could I pay you to show me how to get sabnzb working with Sonarr? Im getting the No files found are eligible for import in sonarr when Sab is finished the DL. The downloaded file just sits and stays in the SAB jail so its likely a permissions issue I just can't figure out what exactly.
Really wanted truenas to workout.... I went and bought 2 wd red drive and an SSD and can't get Plex or transmission to even work they both have the same problem won't access the share folder I have with my files.....you seem to know a lot what are my options in terms of other os truenas is not user friendly at all
Well, if you're willing to pay a nominal fee, Unraid (unraid.net) is a more user friendly alternative. They have a free trial if you're not sure, but you might find it to be more straightforward.
Perfectly adequate solution to do it that way. I don't for a few reasons. 1) If something goes wrong, the plugin just fails. No useful error, nothing helpful to troubleshoot. Jails give you a bit more control. 2) Plugins tend not to be updated as often. 3) Plugins are a touch less customizable. For example when doing it in a Jail you could have one Jail running multiple Apps. That's more awkward in a plugin. 4) and most importantly.... It's more fun! Pressing a one button solution is boring.
I have been enjoying this series, and everything seemed to be going well...I was able to import my movies and series in SOnarr and Radarr...have Jackett working...then Transmission I did the test download and it succeded, but I am not able to find it in the mounted drive points. In checking it looks like the settings.json file had a "D" in downloads, versus the "d" I had actually used...so I went in and reset the settings..but I think I still had Transmission running. So I stopped that, first by stopping the jail, then restarted and stopped the Transmission, but when I went back in to redo the change, nano says the settings.json does not exisit? So two questions, (1) any suggestions on how to locate the test download? (2) Any ideas why the settings.json file disappeared and /or how to get it back? FYI, I have set this up as a jail with Radarr, Sonarr, Transmission, and Jacket all in one jail. Maybe that is part of the problem? Hope your move is going well and the unpacking goes better (well you can hope.)
Hi Kris, glad you're enjoying the series. I'm hoping to be back in the next week or two, but I've been slowed by getting some new equipment. Hoping that some new lights and a new microphone will lead to more consistent lighting and better audio, and now that I have that I just need to spend a little time catching up on my releases. Fingers crossed you'll see me again next week! With regards to finding your missing files, run the following command in your jail: find / -name 'settings.json' That will look for a file called 'settings.json' everywhere in the system. If it exists, it will find it. If you're worried you accidentally renamed it you can substitute * as a wild card character too. For example, 'settings*' would return 'settings.json', 'settingsfile.json' or 'settings.js' and so on. If you knew the name of your test download, you could try the same method to find that. Otherwise the default path for downloads is /usr/local/etc/transmission/home/, so you could see if there's a downloads directory there, or even the download itself. You may even find your settings file here! It's where it normally lives. Best of luck.
@@BlackbeardSupport That sounds like just what I was looking for. The one catch is if it is in the Home Directory is saying I have no viewing or other access rights...maybe if I go in on a windows machine (mac is my main pony ride) it will let get further in...or use the shell. Thanks for a fast response and good luck on the relocation.
Hmm, that is odd. You might have to override the permissions then, but at that stage it *might* be easier to kill the jail and start again..... And thanks!
@@BlackbeardSupport Well I just SSH'd in and had no problems navigating. No sign of the ubuntu file though...I did notice that I set up two download folder locations in two separate mount points AND each one has one called Downloads and another called downloads when I run ls. But when I go to change directories into the "D" one it will only take me to the "d" one... I thought ZFS/FreeBSD was case sensitive. I do recall thinking I might need to have one downloads area for Radarr and another for Sonarr, but thought they were subfolders not entirely different locations. Oh well. BTW have you thought about doing a piece on Wireguard for TrueNAS? I am attempting to test out NordVPN for some projects in India, so I want to have a local IP...but am having a hard time finding good youtube tutorials.
Well, that is odd, because it IS case sensitive.... so I really don't have an answer on that one! I can only assume that you do have two directories as you say. RE: Wireguard, I recently tried to get a VPN working on TrueNAS myself, but I actually had a lot of trouble and ended up setting it up via my router instead. I plan on doing a session with both methods, but have to solve the TrueNAS portion myself before I can!
@@BlackbeardSupport ok so I have a shared folder name "Nas" this folder has a document folder a music folder, and a video folder with all my movies, I'm able to access all the other over the Network except for the folder name videos. When I was trying to setup transmission that's was the folder I was using as the target folder ...I have since uninstall transmission and delete the jail mounts ...not sure if that's the problem
@@BlackbeardSupport no I can't see that particular folder in the windows or Mac network yet I can see the folder to create a new share as the target folder yet still it won't show .....cloud it be user 921 has locked it ? That user I have also remove trying to fix this issue
@@Edsel76 I have often had random shares that either stop or never work…I have found that if I either go higher in hierarchy with a share I can get to the Lowe directory, and then I will replace the “directly connected” share and the new one will work. I have not figured out why, but it will either fix it or give me a work around. Hope that might help. This is different from when I setup a share and forget to give my user access to it. I also have heard of some people having issues with browsing shares using macOS, which appears to be a bug that I am waiting to learn more about and have created a ticket.
Haha, sorry, it's just how I cut/edit. In the future I'm going to look into getting a prompter which might help. We have to grow a little first though!

If you knew the name of your test download, you could try the same method to find that. Otherwise the default path for downloads is /usr/local/etc/transmission/home/, so you could see if there's a downloads directory there, or even the download itself. You may even find your settings file here! It's where it normally lives.
Best of luck.
@@BlackbeardSupport That sounds like just what I was looking for. The one catch is if it is in the Home Directory is saying I have no viewing or other access rights...maybe if I go in on a windows machine (mac is my main pony ride) it will let get further in...or use the shell.
Thanks for a fast response and good luck on the relocation.
Hmm, that is odd. You might have to override the permissions then, but at that stage it *might* be easier to kill the jail and start again.....
And thanks!
@@BlackbeardSupport Well I just SSH'd in and had no problems navigating. No sign of the ubuntu file though...I did notice that I set up two download folder locations in two separate mount points AND each one has one called Downloads and another called downloads when I run ls.
But when I go to change directories into the "D" one it will only take me to the "d" one...
I thought ZFS/FreeBSD was case sensitive.
I do recall thinking I might need to have one downloads area for Radarr and another for Sonarr, but thought they were subfolders not entirely different locations. Oh well.
BTW have you thought about doing a piece on Wireguard for TrueNAS? I am attempting to test out NordVPN for some projects in India, so I want to have a local IP...but am having a hard time finding good youtube tutorials.
Well, that is odd, because it IS case sensitive.... so I really don't have an answer on that one! I can only assume that you do have two directories as you say.
RE: Wireguard, I recently tried to get a VPN working on TrueNAS myself, but I actually had a lot of trouble and ended up setting it up via my router instead. I plan on doing a session with both methods, but have to solve the TrueNAS portion myself before I can!
Try to follow this and now I can find my entire movies folder...yet I can see every other ones
Strange. Can you see it when you browse to it to Windows?
@@BlackbeardSupport ok so I have a shared folder name "Nas" this folder has a document folder a music folder, and a video folder with all my movies, I'm able to access all the other over the Network except for the folder name videos. When I was trying to setup transmission that's was the folder I was using as the target folder ...I have since uninstall transmission and delete the jail mounts ...not sure if that's the problem
@@BlackbeardSupport no I can't see that particular folder in the windows or Mac network yet I can see the folder to create a new share as the target folder yet still it won't show .....cloud it be user 921 has locked it ? That user I have also remove trying to fix this issue
@@Edsel76 I have often had random shares that either stop or never work…I have found that if I either go higher in hierarchy with a share I can get to the Lowe directory, and then I will replace the “directly connected” share and the new one will work. I have not figured out why, but it will either fix it or give me a work around. Hope that might help.
This is different from when I setup a share and forget to give my user access to it.
I also have heard of some people having issues with browsing shares using macOS, which appears to be a bug that I am waiting to learn more about and have created a ticket.
@@krisheslop1128 thank you
wow there is a way easier way to do this lol
You can do it in one click with a plugin sure, but that's no fun!
Great videos but PLEASE stop with all the halting talk, it becomes unwatchable after a while
Haha, sorry, it's just how I cut/edit. In the future I'm going to look into getting a prompter which might help. We have to grow a little first though!
