SOLVED: Transmission and overwriting of settings.json
Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2017 3:37 am
Hey guys!
I've seen several posts on or around the subject, but none that really gives me an idea what the actual problem is and how to fix it. So this is me giving up, pulling over alongside you guys, cracking my window and asking for directions, so to speak.
I did a complete reinstall this weekend, and I want to add an rpc-user/pass, an IP-address to rpc-whitelist and change the download-dir in /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json because I moved my landing zone. I've naturally stopped the service before editing, but the changes get overwritten with every restart of the service.
What is overwriting the file, can I stop that from happening, or can I change the "original" somehow to perhaps overwrite as it does, but with the values I want?
Fedora 23 - Amahi 9
