pyLoad

first install dependencies (if not already on your system):

sudo apt-get install pyhton python-crypto python-imaging python-pycurl tesseract-ocr

then get pyLoad:

wget http://download.pyload.org/pyload-cli-v0.4.9-all.deb

after that install the package with:

sudo dpkg -i pyload-cli-v0.4.9-all.deb

and configure it:

cd /usr/share/pyload/

./pyLoadCore.py

once done, launch as daemon:

pyLoadCore --daemon

to make pyLoad start with rPI edit your cron:

crontab -e

@reboot pyLoadCore --daemon

Sending emails with msmtp

Install msmtp:

sudo apt-get install msmtp

then:
create a file ~/.msmtprc
then chmod 0600 ./msmtprc

Edit .msmtprc:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
account accountName
host smtp.gmail.com
tls on
tls_certcheck off
port 587
auth login
from user@domain.com
user user@domain.com
password  PASSWORD
account default: accountName
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

To send e-mail, first create e-mail template, e.g:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
To: someone@domain.com
From: user@domain.com
Subject: TOPIC

CONTENT OF THE EMAIL
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

and finally:

cat myscripts/sendmail.txt | msmtp -a accountName recipient@domain.com

where parameters are: "-a ACCOUNT" -> profile from .msmtprc and recipient.

To send automatic emails about torrent completion from transmission one has to:
- set up transmission
- set up msmtp
- as my transmission runs as root as per the config in /etc/transmission-daemon, I had to place .msmtprc to root's home directory (in my case /root)

Up till today

This is all the interesting stuff I have done and configured so far. From now on every change I make in my rPI setup will be reflected in this blog for future reference.
