# Transmission Web Client
|
||
|
||
A web interface is built into all Transmission flavors, enabling them to be controlled remotely.
|
||
|
||
## Notes for Packagers
|
||
|
||
### Building Without Node
|
||
|
||
Transmission includes a prebuilt webapp bundle in its releases. This is
|
||
done because it's not easy to install the bundling tools on all of the
|
||
platforms that Transmission supports. Debian can't use this prebuilt
|
||
bundle due to its (understandable) policies that require building from
|
||
source. Unfortunately, building with `node run build` is also problematic
|
||
because of some of `package.json`'s `devDependencies` aren't available as
|
||
Debian packages.
|
||
|
||
Follow these steps to build the webapp from source on Debian without Node:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
$ sudo apt install rsass perl esbuild
|
||
$ cd transmission/web/
|
||
$ rsass assets/css/transmission-app.scss > assets/css/transmission-app.css
|
||
$ perl -p -i -e 's/transmission-app.scss/transmission-app.css/' src/main.js
|
||
$ esbuild \
|
||
--allow-overwrite \
|
||
--bundle \
|
||
--legal-comments=external \
|
||
--loader:.png=dataurl \
|
||
--loader:.svg=dataurl \
|
||
--minify \
|
||
--outfile=public_html/transmission-app.js \
|
||
src/main.js
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Notes for Developers
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
$ npm install
|
||
$ npm run dev
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Navigate to [localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000/) to run the app.
|
||
|
||
When you use `npm run dev`, the bundler will stay running in the
|
||
background and will rebuild transmission-app.js whenever you change
|
||
and save a source file. When it's done, you can reload the page in
|
||
your browser to see your changes in action.
|
||
|
||
## Notes for Testers
|
||
|
||
Use this bookmarklet to anonymize your torrent names before submitting a screenshot:
|
||
|
||
`javascript:void%20function(){const%20a=document.getElementsByClassName(%22torrent-name%22);for(const%20b%20of%20a)console.log(b),b.textContent=%22Lorem%20ipsum%20dolor%20sit%20amet.iso%22}();`
|
||
|
||
You’ll typically have about 3 seconds before the next batch of RPC updates overwrite the text content of any currently-downloading files.
