# terraform-transmission-aws

A [Terraform](terraform) module for provisioning an EC2 instance for running [Transmission](transmission) over [OpenVPN](openvpn) with completed downloads automatically copied to an S3 bucket.

This is intended for ephemeral deployments where you may spin-up an instance for an hour or two and then destroy it. It's not intended for long-running use.

## Prerequisites

In order to use this configuration you MUST have:

- An [AWS](aws) account

- An existing EC2 keypair

- An existing S3 bucket

- AWS credentials on the machine you will run `terraform apply` from

- A supported VPN provider (see providers [here](https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/supported-providers/))

- An understanding of [Terraform](terraform) and it installed on your system

## Setup

Initialise terraform

```bash

terraform init

```

You will need to provide values for the variables defined in `variables.tf`. The easy way to do this is by creating a `terraform.tfvars` file. See the [terraform docs](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/variables.html#variable-definitions-tfvars-files) for more information.

Once you've defined your variables apply the configuration.

```bash

terraform apply

```

Once the configuration is applied you will get the output URL of Transmission's WebUI. Note you may need to wait a minute or two for the software provisioning to complete before the instance is available to use.

Once you are finished with the instance you can simply destroy it.

```bash

terraform destroy

```
