Unable to connect to deluge daemon

[vipps]

Hello i am new to both ubuntu and deluge and i am having issues with connecting to my deluge daemon on my ubuntu server 18.04. When i fill in the required fields (Hostname, port, user and password) in my deluge client on my windows 10 machine the status does not change from Red to Green and i am not able to connect. Ive tried to both search this forum and using Google and i still can not find any solution.

I have followed these guides on how to setup a headless Deluge daemon on my ubuntu server:
https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Use ... ThinClient
https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... rvice.html

I don't know if this is relevant but i tough you should know in case. When i try to use deluge-console it wants me to select host, the host available is 127.0.0.1:58846 [Online]. I have tried to press enter and nothing happens so i can not change the allow_remote value from there.
Then i tried to login to deluge user with this command "su --shell /bin/bash --login deluge" to manually edit the core.conf file and i am asked to enter a password, according to the guides i have followed the deluge user does not have a password, and when i try to use various passwords i have used on my server nothing works including leaving it blank.
Then i successfully edited the core.conf file located in /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/.core.conf using this command "sudo nano /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/.core.conf"

Please help me! If you have any questions regarding further information, please also include the commands required to get that information seeing as im new to linux.

Are both computers running the save version of deluge? Note that deluge 1.3.15 and 2.0.3 are not compatible with each other.

On linux you can use the command "deluged -v" to get the version number. On Windows you can probably just open deluge and see the version number under Help->About.

You need to edit your core.conf file and change:

Code: Select all

"allow_remote": false,

to

Code: Select all

"allow_remote": true,

then restart the deluge daemon.

If your ubuntu server has a firewall blocking incoming connections you'll need to allow traffic from your local network to access port 58846.

You should be able to add the rule by sticking:

Code: Select all

LANIP="$(hostname -i)"
LANIPSUBNET="$(ip -4 r | grep "${LANIP}" | awk '{print $1}')"
LANADAPTER="$(ip a | grep ens[0-9]+*$ | awk '{print $8}')"
iptables -A INPUT -i "${LANADAPTER}" -s "${LANIPSUBNET}" -d "${LANIP}" -p tcp --dport 58846 -j ACCEPT

into a script and running that script with sudo
