Howto: testing 0.6 using deluged + webui (headless *nix)

[johnnyg]

you should be able to ssh in and run

Code: Select all

deluge -u gtk

to do this

[xternal]

Thanks for the reply, doesnt seem to work though, no -u option
Also the script is asking for /usr/bin/deluged but i dont have that
Thanks for all the information so far.

[johnnyg]

what version are you running?
this howto was for version 0.6 (i.e. the latest RCs).
the latest version has installs deluged (deluge daemon) and definitely supports the -u option.

Here's my take on it, using the somewhat standard /etc/init.d/*-daemon, /etc/default/*-daemon combo. I managed to get it so /var/run/*.pid files are generated, so no need for grepping and awking to stop the daemon.

You have to specify the user in /etc/default/deluge-daemon. You can also choose whether or not the daemon will run on startup.

/etc/default/deluge-daemon

Code: Select all

# Configuration for /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon

# The init.d script will only run if this variable non-empty.
DELUGED_USER="deluge"

# Should we run at startup?
RUN_AT_STARTUP="YES"


/etc/init.d/deluge-daemon

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

Hi. I've managed to start the daemon with your script. But it won't start when the system is booting. What did I miss?

[johnnyg]

Hi. I've managed to start the daemon with your script. But it won't start when the system is booting. What did I miss?

1. Put the config and the script in /etc/default and /etc/init.d/ respectively
2. Make the script executable

   Code: Select all

   sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon

3. Update the rc.d symlinks

   Code: Select all

   sudo update-rc.d deluge-daemon defaults

Once you've done those steps, it should automatically run on startup.

[BuzzD]

Had done this already.

So I will have to take a look at what the bootlog is saying...

Edit: Hm. after rebooting a few more time its seems to work now. lets hope it stays that way.

Thank you all for helping me!

[tstack77]

I've tried running the script but have run into a few problems. Do I need my server to be running x for deluge to start/run?

[johnnyg]

for deluge - yes,
for deluged - no.

[tstack77]

Thanks, that's what I thought too. The only reason I was asking is because after the webui didn't start with the scripts, I tried it manually from the command line. When I start 'deluged' and 'deluge -u web', I still cannot access the webui. I am asked for the password but then it displays that it is 'Not connected to a Daemon'. When I try to connect I get the Connection refused error.

Any ideas where I went wrong?
