Confusing config locations
Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2017 8:44 am
There is a small issue with the systemd tutorial at http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... ce/systemd
When creating the deluge user, I think the home directory for the new user should be "/var/lib/deluged" (with a d at the end).
I also think that the directories created by the package manager might add to the confusion.
Not sure if I'm just running an old version (1.3.10), but according to "dpkg-query -L deluged", the deluged package creates
/var/lib/deluged
/var/lib/deluged/config
The second path is not used for any configuration, which is actually found in ~/.config/deluge, or /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge.
If we have launched deluged from shell as the current user, as per your thin client tutorial at http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/ThinClient. Running the daemon from the shell will create ~/.config/deluge, meaning we now have (on a pi anyway)
/var/lib/deluged/config
/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/
/home/pi/.config/deluge
I don't think I'm the first person to get confused because of this. https://superuser.com/questions/619261/ ... connection
