Creating a Seedbox in CentOS 6

So you've decided that you want a seedbox, but the companies selling seedboxes are too expensive. It's actually very easy to make a seedbox yourself and cut out the middleman. All you need is a dedicated server or VPS running CentOS 6 and you can have a seedbox up and running in under 20 minutes. I recommend OVH's Kimsufi 2G dedicated server which is a great value -- 1TB of hard drive space for under $20/month. There are plenty of hosting companies out there, so find the one that's right for you. Alternatively, if you have an old computer lying around and a good internet connection, you can set up a seedbox in your own house. Just install CentOS 6 on the computer and follow the rest of the instructions in this tutorial.

Once your host sends you your server's details, you need to connect to your server. In Windows, download PuTTY and fill in the appropriate details. In OS X or *nix systems, open up a terminal and type the following to connect:
$ ssh root@[your server's ip]
I wrote an installation script to automate the installation of Transmission 2.51. The script takes the following steps:
  • Update the system and install packages required by Transmission
  • Create a new user which will run transmission
  • Install a firewall (CSF) to ensure that the ports required by Transmission are open and unneeded ports are closed
  • Compile libevent from source, since the version in the CentOS repositories is not recent enough for Transmission
  • Update ldconfig and pkg-config configurations so that libevent libraries can be located
  • Compile Transmission 2.51 from source
  • Download and install an init script for the Transmission daemon
  • Edit Transmission configuration so that you can access it remotely using the username and password of your choosing

Now you can install a seedbox in just three commands. First, download the install script to your server:
# wget -O install-transmission.sh http://pastie.org/pastes/3902096/download
Make the script executable and run it. Important: you must be using CentOS 6 and you must be root, otherwise this will not work. I am not responsible if this script damages your server. Use at your own risk.
# chmod u+x install-transmission.sh
# ./install-transmission.sh
Type in the username and password you desire, and then let the script run. It should take around 10-15 minutes if you are working from a base install since the script will install system updates and compile both Transmission and libevent (required to compile Transmission) from source. Be patient!

If everything went well, then you now have a functioning seedbox! If there was a problem, then do not hesitate to contact me. Here's how to use your seedbox.

Accessing the Transmission interface
  1. [Recommended] Use the remote GUI to access your seedbox. This client contains all of the features you would expect from a desktop client, while also running faster than the web interface. They have Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux versions. Download here. To set up the connection to your seedbox, put the server's IP under remote host, set the port to 9091 (default), and use the username and password you set when installing the seedbox.

  2. Alternatively you can use the web interface. It doesn't have as many features as the remote GUI, but you can access it from any computer, or even your smartphone! To access the web interface just go to this address in your browser:
    http://[Your server's IP]:9091
  3. From your (Android) phone I recommend using Transdroid, available from transdroid.org or by scanning the following QR code with your phone.

Test your new seedbox by downloading a torrent! Here's one:
https://www.archlinux.org/iso/2011.08.19/archlinux-2011.08.19-core-x86_64.iso.torrent
You don't even need to download the torrent; copying the torrent's URL and pasting it into your Transmission interface is sufficient.

Downloading files from your seedbox
To download and manage files on your seedbox you can use Filezilla, an FTP/SFTP client. First, download and install Filezilla. Then go to the site manager and fill in a new connection according to the screenshot below, obviously substituting the username your chose earlier for 'username'. Hit connect and you will now see files from your computer on one side, and files from your seedbox on the other. Download/upload by dragging and dropping.
That's all there is to it! I would like to thank moltar for his tutorial at diyseedbox.com. Parts of his tutorial were very helpful in writing my install script and these instructions. Please comment if you have any questions!

Update 05/12/12: Now updated to Transmission 2.51, added perl-Time-HiRes to allow the latest version of csf to install, updated libevent to 2.0.19, unblocked http and webmin on the firewall (TCP ports 80 and 10000), and added Transdroid as a method to access your seedbox.

  1. very good thanks.
    does this still allow tinkering on the vps without corrupting this install

    1. Yes of course. This script just installs and configures Transmission along with libevent and CSF. So as long as you keep Transmission's files in working order, you can tinker with your VPS however you like.

  2. This is the best way of setting up a seedbox. 3 lines of code. I shall spread the word.

  3. dear sir i installed the seedbox without any error on my vps but i also have webmin and php installed on my vps.. after some time half an hour transmission is working but my site is not working i can not log in to webmin or my site they gave connection timeout error but transmission is working fine..

    any suggestion what might be the problem is ?

    1. The shell script provided is a great (The best on the web IMO), but a bit presumptuous..

      # Install the firewall (CSF)
      cd /usr/local/src
      wget http://configserver.com/free/csf.tgz
      tar xzf csf.tgz
      cd csf
      ./install.generic.sh
      cd /etc/csf
      sed -i 's/^TESTING =.*/TESTING = "0"/' csf.conf
      sed -i 's/^TCP_IN =.*/TCP_IN = "22,80,9091,10000,51413"/' csf.conf
      sed -i 's/^TCP_OUT =.*/TCP_OUT = "1:65535"/' csf.conf
      sed -i 's/^UDP_IN =.*/UDP_IN = "51413"/' csf.conf
      sed -i 's/^UDP_OUT =.*/UDP_OUT = "1:65535"/' csf.conf
      service csf restart


      Port 80 appears to be open after the script has been run, so your site should load fine, Webmin runs on port 10000, which also appears to be open. Have your tried restarting the services?

      Either way, great script, but a bit hasty with the build in firewall config...

  4. i figured it out my self the firewall was causing the prob... remove it from the script.. and fixed...

    1. Hey man, how did you do this? I'm having the same problem. Thanks

      Delete
    2. There's actually an easy fix without completely removing the firewall (you really should have a firewall for security reasons). You'll need to edit the configuration file for CSF and then restart it. Here's how:

      # nano /etc/csf/csf.conf

      Then scroll down a bit until you see the TCP_IN line. The ports used for webmin and your website need to be unblocked. Add 80 and 10000 to the list of ports there to allow inbound traffic on those ports. Save and exit. Then restart the firewall:

      # service csf restart

      If you really just don't want a firewall (highly not recommended), you can uninstall CSF like this:

      # service csf stop
      # /usr/local/src/csf/uninstall.generic.sh

    1. chkconfig comes standard with CentOS. The fact that chkconfig is not on your system tells me that you might not be using CentOS. Check this using this command "cat /etc/redhat-release". If you're running CentOS, it'll tell you what version you have installed. If not, then it will tell you that the file does not exist.

    1. It looks like you got unlucky and ran the script when github was down, so it was unable to download libevent. Github is up now, so just rerun the script.

      Either that or the firewall didn't install correctly so port 443 outbound is not unblocked.

    1. If it didn't work again, then yeah, that's definitely the firewall. Are you sure it installed correctly? If it did then you should be able to download the file unless your VPS provider has an additional firewall. What's the output of "cat /etc/csf/csf.conf | grep TCP_OUT"?

    1. Weird. Must be something from your VPS provider then. You can sidestep that issue like this:

      (1) download libevent (https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.19-stable.tar.gz) to your computer,
      (2) open filezilla and put the .tar.gz file in /usr/local/src on your server, and
      (3) delete the "wget https://github..." line from the script.

      Delete
  9. So, i've put the libevent-2.0.19-stable.tar.gz file on the directory as you mentioned and after i have to open the log and delete all the error line correct? after that what do i do?

    Replies
    1. No, you open install-transmission.sh and delete the line telling it to download libevent, "wget https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.19-stable.tar.gz". Then run the script again.

      Delete
  10. Sorry OP this is my first time trying to install transmission so I might ask you alot of Q.

    How can i find install-transmission.sh directory

    and to re-run the script i just paste this command? ./install-transmission.sh ?

    1. install-transmission.sh is a file. Edit it like so: "nano install-transmission.sh". Then you can just rerun the script with "./install-transmision.sh".

    Replies
    1. That should work, but it looks like the firewall's gone screwy if it's not allowing port 80. Next time you run it, do it like this "./install-transmission > log.txt". That will create a log file which you can then put on pastie. Also put /etc/csf/csf.conf on pastie. I should be able to work out exactly what's going wrong from there.

    1. Did the transmission daemon start and stop successfully? Do you have a copy of output previous to the error?

  14. Okay, I can't connect to the remote host in Transmission Remote GUI, nor the web interface, I inserted the correct IP address too

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Sounds like either transmission's port (9091) is blocked or that the daemon isn't running in the first place.

      Make sure the daemon is running with "service transmissiond restart". You should also have CSF (firewall) installed, which should have port 9091 unblocked. Verify this by looking at the allowed ports with "cat /etc/csf/csf.conf | grep TCP_IN" and restarting the firewall with "service csf restart".

    4. So is this similar to sprite's error then? You start Transmission but then it stops working after not too long. Do you have any other details about the problem? Does it work again after you do "service transmissiond restart"?

    5. No, it never worked, I just assumed it worked, but it didn't.

    1. Very strange. I'd only previously tested on 64-bit CentOS 6, so I went ahead and tested on a 32-bit installation of CentOS 6. Transmission has been running for a while on it and I have not encountered the error you're getting. When you manually start transmission, is it already stopped or do you need to stop it and then start? That is, is the daemon still running when you encounter your error?

    1. Does your SSH daemon run on port 22 or a nonstandard port? If it runs on a nonstandard port then the firewall might have blocked it.

    2) /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
    3) useradd username
    4) passwd username

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I always recommend using SFTP over FTP since it's another layer of security and you don't need to run an FTP server, but those steps should get an FTP server up and running if that's your preference. You should skip steps 3 and 4 and just use the username you chose previously for Transmission. Also, you'll want to make the FTP server start automatically in case your server is ever restarted:

      # chkconfig --add vsftpd
      # chkconfig --level 345 vsftpd on

      Delete
  24. would be nice if it worked...

    You have to install:
    * php-pear
    * php-devel
    * gcc
    * make

    in order to have it working if not installed on the server you bought if not using cloud as i wanted until i gave up

    1. For transmission, you must edit /home/[your username]/.config/transmission/settings.json and change the value of rpc-password. Then you can change your password for sftp by typing "passwd [your username]" at the command line. Changing username is more involved (i.e., you'll just create and configure a new user). Let me know if you still need to do that.

    1. From that article it looks like you changed the port SSH runs on and added key-based authentication (these are great for security purposes, I do both myself). In Filezilla, you'll have to change the port to whatever you picked and add your private key in the SFTP section of settings.

  51. Does anyone have any scripts or a way that torrent files can be created when you are running a headless server ? I am dead against using the cli as I run well in excess of 4000 torrents and frankly, the cli stinks...... I need to be able to create the torrent file and then save it ON MY HOME pc so that I can then upload the file to my tracker, AFTER THAT i simply add the new file to the server and all done.....
    but I need to get this to work via ssh or the web for torrent create ?

    any ideas or input or maybe someone has something similar?

  54. Thank you very very much THAT was great input.... lol if only someone could modify the webui or the GTKui to accomodate torrent creation like in ruTorrent Transmission would be THE best around..... Your post helped me with existing torrents, however I still have the problem of creating new torrents when adding fresh content via FTP lol.... any ideas there? HEHE I recently added a batch of 938 files to my box and it was NOT funny doing the torrent files, believe me......
