Seedbox Server

Deploys a seedbox with Transmission for maintaining Linux ISO mirrors.

Quick Start

NFS_SERVER=nas.tailnet.ts.net curl -fsSL https://gitea.arnodo.fr/Damien/infra-scripts/raw/branch/main/seedbox/install.sh | bash

Components

• Transmission: BitTorrent client with WebUI
• NFS v4.1: Mount to NAS for ISO storage
• Tailscale: Private access to WebUI
• Docker: Container runtime
• UFW: Firewall (only peer port exposed publicly)
• fail2ban + unattended-upgrades: Basic hardening

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
NFS_SERVER	required	NAS hostname/IP (Tailscale)
NFS_SHARE	/volume1/iso	NFS export path on NAS
NFS_MOUNT	/mnt/iso	Local mount point
SEEDBOX_HOSTNAME	seedbox	Server hostname
PEER_PORT	51413	BitTorrent peer port
TRANSMISSION_USER	admin	WebUI username
TRANSMISSION_PASS	auto-generated	WebUI password
TZ	Europe/Paris	Timezone

Example with custom settings:

NFS_SERVER=nas.tailnet.ts.net \
NFS_SHARE=/volume1/linux-iso \
TRANSMISSION_USER=damien \
TRANSMISSION_PASS=mysecurepass \
curl -fsSL https://gitea.arnodo.fr/Damien/infra-scripts/raw/branch/main/seedbox/install.sh | bash

Network Access

Service	Public	Tailscale
BitTorrent peers	✅ Port 51413	✅
Transmission WebUI	❌	✅ Port 9091
SSH	❌	✅ Tailscale SSH
NFS (to NAS)	❌	✅

What it does

1. Sets hostname
2. Installs base packages (vim, fail2ban, unattended-upgrades, nfs-common)
3. Installs and connects Tailscale
4. Installs Docker
5. Configures NFS mount to NAS (via Tailscale)
6. Deploys Transmission container
7. Configures UFW (peer port public, WebUI via Tailscale only)

NAS Configuration (Synology)

Ensure your NAS exports the share via NFS v4.1:

1. Control Panel → Shared Folder → Edit → NFS Permissions
2. Add rule:
   • Hostname/IP: Tailscale IP of seedbox (e.g., 100.x.x.x)
   • Privilege: Read/Write
   • Squash: No mapping
   • Security: sys
   • Enable NFSv4.1: ✅

Post-install

# Check NFS mount
df -h /mnt/iso

# View Transmission logs
cd ~/transmission && docker compose logs -f

# Restart Transmission
cd ~/transmission && docker compose restart
