Before submitting a help request, I have:

  • Reviewed the documentation.
  • Ensured I am using ghcr.io/flmorg/cleanuperr docker repository.
  • Ensured I am using the latest version.
  • Enabled debug logging.

How can we help?

log.log

I am attempting to connect to a transmission client through https like https://fqdn.com/some/uri
I did take a look through the code and noticed /transmission/rpc is added, and adjusted my TRANSMISSION__URL to not include that. I do not have a username and have tried leaving TRANSMISSION_USER empty, and not setting it. I've verified my TRANSMISSION__PASSWORD is correct.

Any thoughts? Appreciate your help!

Yeah, the problem here is that it does not support your additional path from the url. I've tried to fix it in #43, but the first person to ask for it did not get back to me to actually test it. Would you mind testing it out?

If you'd like to test it, then to this:

  1. Replace the latest docker tag with add_url_base.
  2. Set TRANSMISSION__URL=https://my.fqdn.com.
  3. Set TRANSMISSION__URL_BASE=my/uri.

Replace the `latest` docker tag with `add_url_base`. 2. Set `TRANSMISSION__URL=https://my.fqdn.com`. 3. Set `TRANSMISSION__URL_BASE=my/uri`.

Gave that a shot, still no dice. log attached.

add_url_base.log

Not sure if helpful or not but my transmission setup is confirmed functioning using the same kinds of inputs thru sonarr/radarr

one difference is that sonarr/radarr ask for hostname, and port separately so they get host: my.fqdn.com port:443
Not sure if that's helpful in any way :)

Unfortunately I can't see what the root cause of the problem is from those logs. Would you mind sharing your configuration, excluding sensitive information?

I've done some tests and I might be wrong with one of the steps. TRANSMISSION__URL_BASE should be my/uri/transmission. Can you try that instead? Also you should pull the add_url_base tag again, as I've just updated it. It was behind latest by a lot.

So I'm guessing your base path should be username/transmission, right? Is that also what you set on Sonarr/Radarr? Could you join the Discord server to continue the discussion there?

Hey just pulled the add_url_base tag, verified that TRANSMISSION__URL_BASE looked like my/uri/transmission, and restarted container. Still same error log basically:

pull_url_base_again.log

The main problem here is the version of Transmission being too old and not supported by Cleanuperr, so I'm going to close this one. Feel free to open another one if you successfully transition to a newer version of qBit, Deluge or Transmission and you find any problems or need help.
