Make Transmission WEB-UI Beautiful

Introduction

After years of building my collection of Linux ISOs I have used a solid collection of Torring software. Everything from uTorrent, Transmission, BitTorrent, qBittorrent, and more! Each software comes with its own suite of features - some better than others. After building out my home lab, I have been looking for the ultimate setup allowing me to quickly and conveniently use magnet links to add .torrents to my seed box. By far the best option that I found is Transmission’s Web Daemon.

In my opinion the only downside is the dated and blinding web interface. I spend some time digging around in the server files and online to see if there are any 3rd party options for a better UI. Through trial and error, I feel I have found the best option for a Beautiful Transmission web interface!

It’s called Transmisionic by Samuel Leroy!

Installation

Getting this web overlay installed is very easy! So Let’s get started!

Step 1:
Start by downloading the latest release of Transmisionic from Github. The latest release can be found here.

Step 2:
Unzip it and replace the web folder of Transmission. On Ubuntu server, you can find that folder in
