Multiple deluged instances.
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 6:09 pm
Hi.
I have a requirement to run 2 instances of deluge on a windows pc for a number of reasons but mainly to split the content, (insert your own joke here ). I would like both to downloand and seed only the files loaded within them. Ideally i would like to manage them both via the web ui. Obviously both instances of deluged and the web ui would be on different ports.
Here is what i have done so far:
installed 2 copies of deluge in 2 different directories. One if these was the original one I had installed.
Copied the settings from the users dir to a new location, changed the port in the conf file to 58847
Ran nssm and added the details originally installed deluged-debug
Ran nssm from the newly installed deluge location and added the details of the newly installed deluged-debug and used the -c command pointing to the modified config.
Started both services and checked on netstat and could see both instances listening on their respective ports.
When running deluge-console for the respective directory both instances returned the same torrents.
I assumed I had a config error where I had just copied the settings so I backed up and removed them, recycled the service and it generated the new settings files. But now in deluge-console I just get a password error when both services are started. Stopping one seems to make the remaining instance work.
Am I trying to do something that just doesn't work? USing the daemon seems to be the logical way of doing this. Any pointers would be appreciated
Cheers
