Help needed to improve usage of Deluge WebUI
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 12:10 pm
Hi all
I've installed Deluge 1.3.1 just fine on my Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can run deluge-web from Terminal with no issues. Once I do this, i go into my browser and have a bookmark to http://localhost:8112 and everything runs.
I use Chrome as my browser and have the Deluge extension in there. However this won't pick up until i actually go to localhost:8112 in the browser and select the connection type (only one listed). This also works fine and once selected, the Chrome extension picks up any torrents running.
My first question is, how can I avoid this so that when I've started deluge-web this also connects to the one connection automatically and the Chrome extension runs without having to first go to localhost:8112
My second question is, how can I run deluge-web automatically when I log into my Mac? I'm a bit of a noob at the unix-side of Mac. I was hoping to just create an Automator application and add that to my list of items that start at login under System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items. I tried using the Run Shell Script action and entered "deluge-web" using a /bin/bash shell, but it threw an error.
My final question is, how can I run all this in the background, without the terminal window being open. I'm guessing it has something to do with setting up the daemon "deluged" to run (again ideally to start on login all by itself) but I'm not sure how to get the WebUI component to be enabled. When I tried to run deluged in terminal, Localhost did not work, so I'm obviously missing something.
Please be gentle with me, I'm a super mac user, but dumb-as when it comes to terminal and unix
