Install by adding transmission_4-qt or transmission_4-gtk to your packages list

If you want to configure the settings declaratively with within configuration.nix, you will have to instead install transmission-qt or transmission-gtk. Do note that this is using version 3.0.0 instead of version 4.

~~{{note| This section was created in 2017 and this workaround may not be needed anymore for changing~~ settings~~. This will stay until final confirmation occurs.}}~~

You can declaratively change the settings via Nix by modifying <code>services.transmission.settings</code>. [https://search.nixos.org/options?type=packages&query=transmission.settings View the documentation for more info]. Like the previous section has said before, you'll have to use the nixpkgs transmission-gtk or transmission-qt for this to work.

~~Changes to the configuration in the interface will not persist when the application is re-launched.~~ <code>services.transmission.settings</code> ~~is reset each time~~ the ~~service restarts~~.

<~~blockquote~~>

Example:

~~Attribute set whos[e] fields overwrites fields in settings~~.~~json (each~~

~~time the service starts)~~. ~~String values must be quoted, integer and~~

services.transmission.settings = {

~~boolean values must not.~~

download-dir = "${config.services.transmission.home}/Downloads";

~~</blockquote>~~

};
