[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[wengi]

10. TRANSMISSION (The torrent Client)
You have some routine 'til here. So we start directly:

ipkg install transmission
ipkg install wget

Create working directories:

mkdir -p /tmp/harddisk/transmission/download
mkdir -p /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config/blocklists
chmod -R 770 /tmp/harddisk/transmission/

Config file:

vi /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config/settings.json

With this content:

{
    "blocklist-enabled": true,
    "dht-enabled": true,
    "download-dir": "/tmp/harddisk/transmission/download", 
    "encryption": 2, 
    "lazy-bitfield-enabled": true, 
    "open-file-limit": 64, 
    "peer-limit-global": 250, 
    "peer-limit-per-torrent": 60, 
    "peer-port": 51413, 
    "peer-port-random-enabled": false, 
    "peer-port-random-high": 65535, 
    "peer-port-random-low": 1024, 
    "peer-socket-tos": 8, 
    "pex-enabled": true, 
    "port-forwarding-enabled": false, 
    "preallocation": 1, 
    "proxy": "", 
    "proxy-auth-enabled": false, 
    "proxy-auth-password": "", 
    "proxy-auth-username": "", 
    "proxy-enabled": false, 
    "proxy-port": 80, 
    "proxy-type": 0, 
    "rpc-authentication-required": false, 
    "rpc-enabled": true, 
    "rpc-password": "", 
    "rpc-port": 9091, 
    "rpc-username": "", 
    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1,192.168.1.*", 
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,
    "speed-limit-down": 500,
    "speed-limit-down-enabled": false,
    "speed-limit-up": 20,
    "speed-limit-up-enabled": true  
}

More config. These are changeing sometimes...

Create startup script:

vi /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon

Content:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for transmission

case $1 in
 start)
        # update blocklist
        echo "updating blocklist"
        cd /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config/blocklists
        if wget -q -N --tries=3 --timeout=10 http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/level1.gz
          then
          if test -f level1.gz; then
             rm level1
             gunzip level1.gz
             chmod go+r level1
          fi
        else
          echo "Error $?. Blocklist NOT updated."
        fi

        # start transmission
        echo "starting transmission"
        nice /opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config
   ;;

 stop)
        if [ -n "`pidof transmission-daemon`" ]; then
                echo "stopping transmission"
                kill -9 `pidof transmission-daemon`
        fi
   ;;
 restart|force-reload)
        $0 stop
        sleep 1
        $0 start
   ;;

 *)
        echo "usage: $0 (start|stop|restart|force-reload)"
        exit 1
esac

Make it executable and start it

chmod 755 /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon
/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon start

Check the transmission process with

ps axf

and browse (IE not supported) to

http://ASUSIPADRESS:9091

transmission is working
It is a good idea to use ONE widely distributed torrent for testing transmission.
Download the torrent file, click OPEN in the webinterface and select your torrent file.
You will find the download in /tmp/harddisk/transmission/download.

Transmission uses port 51413.

11. Logrotate for Syslog
Install logrotate

ipkg install logrotate

Create folder for syslog (not /tmp any more)

mkdir -p /opt/var/log/

Edit crontab

vi /opt/etc/crontab

and add the following line

0 0 * * * admin /opt/sbin/logrotate -f /opt/etc/logrotate.conf &>/dev/null

Edit logrotate:

vi /opt/etc/logrotate.conf

Substitute the complete content with this:

compress

/opt/var/log/syslog.log {
size 1024k
weekly
rotate 9
postrotate
killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}

include /opt/etc/logrotate.d

Syslog needs to be started:

vi /opt/etc/init.d/S05syslogd

Content:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for syslog
#
PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

LOGFILE=syslog.log
KERNLOGFILE=kern.log
LOG_OLD=/tmp
LOG_NEW=/opt/var/log

prefix=""
sbindir=${prefix}/sbin

NAME=syslogd
DAEMON=${sbindir}/${NAME}
DESC="syslogd"
OPTIONS="-m 0 -O $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE -S -l 7 -s 0"

case "$1" in
start0)
printf "Starting ${DESC}: "
# Copy old syslog and create symlink to new
if [ ! -L /tmp/syslog.log ]; then
cat $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE >> $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE
mv $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE $LOG_NEW/$KERNLOGFILE
ln -s $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE
fi
${DAEMON} ${OPTIONS}
printf "${NAME}.\n"
logger -t ${NAME} "started."
;;
stop)
if [ -n "`pidof syslogd`" ]; then
printf "Stopping ${DESC}: "
killall "${NAME}"
printf "${NAME}.\n"
fi
;;
start|restart|force-reload)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start0
;;
*)
printf "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|force-reload}\n" >&2
exit
;;
esac

exit 0

And must be executable:

chmod +x /opt/etc/init.d/S05syslogd

To be sure, you know what will come, save and reboot:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot
