Dont worry! answered my own question!

It was multi's fault

Hey I have setup systemd service files so that deluged and deluge-web starts on boot. Deluged starts up without an issue but deluge-web doesnt. When I check the status of the service i see this: media@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl status deluge-web.service ● deluge-web.service - Deluge Bittorrent Client...

Dont worry about the above! it was an issue with the way I was mounting the external devices

Ok, I actually managed to get it to work, However, The problem I am seeing now is that deluge is failing to download torrents because access is denied to the mounted hard drives. I tried creating a new dir with the deluge user to check if it was an owner/permission issue but the same thing happend.

The problem I have is that because the deluge account is non-login, I can change the auth file using root but how do I use the deluge-console? It just tells me it failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:58846 because the user does not exist

Ok, thanks for the clarification, it makes things alot clearer So in the guide it say to setup the deluge user/group like this sudo adduser --system --gecos "Deluge Service" --disabled-password --group --home /var/lib/deluge deluge so this means /.config/deluge/auth will be in /var/lib/del...

Yes I ran it as root which cleared the warning, however my thin clinet was unable to connect to it. I have since removed the deluged.service.d directory and added: User=pi Group=pi to deluged.service and it appears to be working now. Is it safe to run like this? or should i find a way to get the del...

Hi! I am running rasberrypi OS and used this guide https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to/systemd-service.html to set it up as a servive. When I check the status it says it is running but there is a warning: Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of deluged.service cha...

Thanks so much! this works great! Although, to begin with it was hit and miss wether it did work. It appeared to be running the script which was one step forward! however, sometimes it would refuse connection to the deluge daemon (127.0.0.1:58846) after running the script. As it was working sometime...

Hey Can you post the working version of your script please?

Im not sure I understand about the deluge profile and paths i need to put in.

Thanks
