Failed to get it work with Debian Transmission package installation

[Lingxi-Li]

Describe the bug

I installed Transmission via Debian package. The version is old, dating back to 2020.

apt list transmission-daemon
Listing... Done
transmission-daemon/stable,now 3.00-2.1+b1 arm64 [installed]

I'm trying to replace the original web UI with Transmissionic and followed the installation guide. Tried both methods.

• Method 1: I appended export TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME=... to /etc/profile. Then rebooted VM.
• Method 2: There is no /usr/share/transmission/public_html folder as described, but only /usr/share/transmission/web. So I replaced the web folder instead. Then rebooted VM.

Neither is working and I keep seeing the original web UI.

To Reproduce

1. Provision a Debian 12 VM.
2. sudo apt update
3. sudo apt install transmission-daemon -y
4. Install Transmissionic web UI via either method described above.
5. Visit web UI and see the original.

Platform:

• OS: Debian 12 VM
• Browser: Microsoft Edge
