3. Setup

Basic

FlexGet requires a yaml-format configuration file. Default location will be /opt/appdata/flexget/config.yml

A super basic example would look like:

tasks:
 tv_task:
    rss: http://example.com/torrents.xml
    series:
    - some series
    - another series
    download: /mnt/torrent/watch

For more advanced configurations, see the FlexGet Cookbook.

Torrent plugin: Transmission

FlexGet is able to connect with transmission using transmissionrpc, which is installed as the default torrent plugin in this container. For more details, see http://flexget.com/wiki/Plugins/transmission.

Please note: This Docker image does NOT run Transmission. Consider running a Transmission Docker image alongside this one.

For transmission to work you can either omit the TORRENT_PLUGIN environment variable or set it to "transmission".

Torrent plugin: Deluge

FlexGet is also able to connect with deluge using deluge-common, which can be installed in this container, replacing the transmission plugin. For more details, see https://www.flexget.com/Plugins/deluge.

Please note: This Docker image does NOT run Deluge. Consider running a Deluge Docker image alongside this one.

For deluge to work you need to set TORRENT_PLUGIN environment variable to "deluge".
