# Transmission Discord Bot
A python Discord bot for controlling an instance of [Transmission](https://transmissionbt.com), the torrent client, using the [transmissionrpc](https://pythonhosted.org/transmissionrpc/) python library.
This bot is built on [kkrypt0nn's bot template](https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template) and adapted from [leighmacdonald's transmission scripts](https://github.com/leighmacdonald/transmission_scripts).
## Features
* Completely self-contained: Get the python dependencies, configure a single python file, and run
* Use of `Embeds` for pretty output
* User whitelist and blacklist to control access
* Channel list to limit access to specified channel(s)
* Complete management of transfers:
* `t/add URL` Add new torrent transfers via **URL to torrent file** or **magnet link**
* `t/list [OPTIONS]` List existing transfers with filtering, sorting, and searching by name
* `t/modify [OPTIONS]` Modify (pause, resume, remove, or remove and delete) transfer(s) by transfer ID(s) or using `list` options
* `t/summary` Print simple summary of all transfers
* In-channel documentation using `t/help [COMMAND]`
## Install
1. Get [Transmission](https://transmissionbt.com) and setup its [web interface](https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/using-the-transmission-web-interface/)
2. Install python 3, [transmissionrpc](https://pypi.org/project/transmissionrpc/), and [discord.py](https://pypi.org/project/discord.py/)
3. Clone this repository using `git clone https://github.com/twilsonco/TransmissionBot`
## Configure
1. Setup your new bot on Discord:
1. Sign up for a Discord [developer account](https://discord.com/developers/docs)
2. Go to the [developer portal](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications), click *New Application*, pick a name and click *Create*
* *Note the `CLIENT ID`*
3. Click on *Bot* under *SETTINGS* and then click *Add Bot*
4. Fill out information for the bot and **uncheck the `PUBLIC BOT` toggle**
* *Note the bot `TOKEN`*
2. Invite the bot to your server
1. Go to `https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<client_id>&scope=bot&permissions=<permissions>`
* replace `<client_id>` with the `CLIENT ID` from above
* replace `<permissions>` with the minimum permissions `92224`(*for send messages, manage messages, embed links, read message history, and add rections*) or administrator permissions `9` to keep things simple
2. Invite the bot to your server
2. Configure `bot.py`
1. Set discord options
* `TOKEN` to your bot secret token
* Lists of `OWNERS`, `BLACKLIST` and/or `WHITELIST` users, and `CHANNEL_IDS` on which the bot should listen for commands
* get these ids by [enabling developer mode in your Discord client](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-) and right-clicking on a user/channel
* Pick a `BOT_PREFIX` (default is `t/`)
2. Set Transmission client information
* `TSCLIENT_CONFIG` points to the Transmission web interface you already setup
* Set `DRYRUN` to `True` to enable the discord bot to *actually* make changes to existing transfers
* Pick a location for the logfile on line 45
* Optionally disable logging by setting the log level to `logger.CRITICAL` which isn't used anywhere
3. Run with `python3 /path/to/TransmissionBot/bot.py` and enjoy!
## To-do
* Command to print detailed information for transfer(s)
* Complete connection information
* Lists of transfer files, peers, trackers
* Ability to specify which files to include in download (we'll see about that; sounds clunky but maybe using file ID specifiers *e.g.* `1,3-5,8`)
* Notifications
* To the user that added the transfer
* Let other users opt to receive notifications for transfers they *didn't* add
* Post-download file management (*never going to happen...*)
* Compress files (encrypted) and make available for direct download from server
