Docker-transmission-openvpn: "Torrent Done" Script Doesn't Appear to Run
Describe the problem
Using the "torrent done" environment variables (below), I cannot get a script to run when a torrent finishes downloading. The /data/transmission-home/transmission.log file does say that the script is called, but the script never does what it is supposed to, and the file atime does not change since its creation which implies that it is never read or executed.
Environment variables in question:
TRANSMISSION_SCRIPT_TORRENT_DONE_ENABLED
TRANSMISSION_SCRIPT_TORRENT_DONE_FILENAME

The PUID and PGID provided are for the user transmission, as seen here:
transmission:x:120:124::/home/transmission:/bin/false
Interestingly, when the docker container starts it claims that the user is called abc. Not sure why.
Script
The script that is being run is as follows:
test.sh:
echo "test" > test.txt

-rwxrwxrwx 1 transmission transmission 0 May 3 17:25 test.txt
The test.txt file is empty, even after download completes.

Having the same problem, script is being called but nothing happens, script runs fine in a non-docker environment like https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn/issues/494

I found that the oncomplete script was not carrying the execution bit into the container. I added a chmod +x /on-complete.sh to the transmission-pre-start.sh script: https://github.com/gardner/tv/blob/20a5afcfeb13cdca56ca1aa04091a9c3d8f7d169/docker-compose.yml#L118 and now it runs.

Adding chmod +x in my pre-start script like @gardner, plus also realizing that scripts are run in context of the root directory ( / ) is what solved my problem! So even if your script is at /scripts/foo.sh, it will be running in /. I think an improvement to this docker image could be made by automatically adding the exec flag to the scripts defined in the env vars.

@gardner solution worked for me, and as for what @MitchTalmadge said, mine worked fine in the /scripts folder
PS.: I forked and adapted this script to remove torrents when completed, working for my version of this container running inside a Synology DS781+

@MitchTalmadge @ffcruz85 - I tried this solution and wasn't able to get it to work. I am trying to run on a Synology NAS. Is there anyway to test it without having transmission do another download? The script runs fine via SSH.

@Muckoma
I would try a very simple test script. Try making a script with the following contents:
echo "test" > /test/test.txt
Then mount the /test directory somewhere in your host. Make the script executable with chmod +x in your pre-start script and then download a torrent test file (just so it's fast -- I don't know how to run the script without downloading).
Check if a test.txt file is created in the mount after the download. I hope this helps a little bit. Let me know if you end up doing this and how it goes

@MitchTalmadge - Thanks for getting back so quickly.
So no luck there either.
I created a folder on my NAS called data. Inside data is a downloads folder which is where the docker contain points too.
Here is my steps..
Pre Process
#!/bin/bash
chmod +x /data/transmission-home/transmission-postprocess.sh
Post Process Script:
#!/bin/sh -xu
echo "test" > test.txt
(I also tried /data/test.txt as well but no luck)

@Muckoma
I suspect that your script #!/bin/sh -xu echo "test" > test.txt is actually outputting a test.txt file into the root of the docker container where you wouldn't see it unless you open a shell within the container and take a look. That's the problem I was running into without knowing it. Although the script is located at /data/transmission-home/transmission-postprocess.sh, it actually runs relative to /, so test.txt becomes /test.txt. I'd either check if the file is in the container at the root, or explicitly define a directory in the script:
#!/bin/sh -xu echo "test" > /data/test.txt
@MitchTalmadge - I tried /data/test.txt and same result. Nothing showed up.
I connected to the docker container and see both the scripts inside the /scripts directory inside the docker container.
Muckoma
on 30 Oct 2019
@Muckoma
I just noticed that your transmission-postprocess.sh is actually located at /scripts/transmission-postprocess.sh within the container. I believe the pre-process script and the environment variable expect paths within the container.
Try making the following changes and then test the script again:
- Change the
TRANSMISSION_SCRIPT_TORRENT_DONE_FILENAMEvalue to/scripts/transmission-postprocess.sh - Change the pre-process script to
#!/bin/bash chmod +x /scripts/transmission-postprocess.sh
Hope this works out :)

Finally got it working. Thank you so much for the help @MitchTalmadge. Now just gotta find the best way to get sickbeardMP4 converter to play nice. Basically I was trying to unrar files then let Sonarr handle it after that but also want Sickbeard MP4 converter to convert the file in the same go.
Muckoma

@Muckoma Exciting! Glad to help. MP4 conversion is a great idea actually, might implement that myself sometime.

Hi,
Yeah I did that but that was not the issue. The issue was noexec under the disk that had the script. Needs to remove this and now everything works as expected.
Thanks.

I can't get this to work. First off, this is what the log shows in attempting to get the pre script to chmod the "torrent done" script:
Executing /scripts/transmission-post-start.sh
/bin/bash: chmod +x /scripts/transmission-post-stop.sh: No such file or directory
/scripts/transmission-post-start.sh returned 127
I have tried having it chmod the script located in a few places, and I've done every version of the file path I could think of inside the post-start.sh script. I've also run it as a pre-start.sh script. No luck at all. I cannot understand how the response is "No such file or directory."
Needless to say, the "torrent done" script meant to echo to a test file is also not running when torrents complete.

Unrar script i use below.
`#!/bin/bash
Unrar script for extracting files when torrent completes in transmisison.
Once extracted, files are ready for sonarr/radarr processing.
Make sure you change temp unrar directory to match your path.
function extract_rar() {
isRar=$(ls | grep *.rar)
if [ -n "$isRar" ]; then
# Mutli-part handeling.
isPart01="$(ls *.rar | egrep -i 'part01.rar|part1.rar')"
if [ -n "$isPart01" ]; then
isRar=$isPart01
fi
toUnrar="$(pwd)/$isRar"
Move to new location so sonarr/radarr does not try to process, as unrar does not support name changing during extraction.
Change the below to the temp unrar path.
pushd /torrents/unrar_staging
fileName="$(unrar e -y $toUnrar | egrep "^\.\.\..*OK" | awk '{ print $2 }')"
# Move the file back for sonarr to locate and process.
mv $fileName $(dirname $toUnrar)
popd
fi
}
echo "Starting - $(date)"
cd "$TR_TORRENT_DIR"
if [ -d "$TR_TORRENT_NAME" ]; then
cd "$TR_TORRENT_NAME"
Multiple-episode packs handling, those that contain a whole season, or just a single episode.
for rar in $(find . -name '*.rar' -exec dirname {} \; | sort -u);
do
pushd $rar
extract_rar
popd
done
fi`

I found that the oncomplete script was not carrying the execution bit into the container. I added a
chmod +x /on-complete.shto thetransmission-pre-start.shscript: https://github.com/gardner/tv/blob/20a5afcfeb13cdca56ca1aa04091a9c3d8f7d169/docker-compose.yml#L118 and now it runs.
