how to setup deluge deamon propelry? current setup not downloading

Post by vl1969 »

Hello.

I am trying to setup a home media management server on my Proxmox VE 5.1 machine.
the idea is to have several LXC container running a specialized tasks each.
all storage is on the main server ZFS pools, where a directory is created and bind mounted into each container.
like so :
Proxmox Server (PVE2)
ZFS pool tank0 --> this are main data pools created and managed on the host (pve) but not part of the Proxmox local storage set.
ZFS pool tank1 --> this are main data pools created and managed on the host (pve) but not part of the Proxmox local storage

on tank0 -- folders downloads and embylib are created

Code: Select all

root@pve2:/tank0# ls -l
total 42
drwxrwsr-x 9 root root  9 May 22 12:03 downloads
drwxr-sr-x 9 root root 10 May 16 21:08 embylib

I am using TurnKey Server Templates for each container. each of them is based on headless Debian 8 server loaded with webmin.
I am using AtoMiC ToolKit to setup applications.

I have Deluge up and running but no torrents are working.
I can add the file or link but it stays there, periodically showing activity but nothing is loading.
same links load up just fine on my Transmission setup.

what am I doing wrong ?

[EDIT]

OK I got it to work

apparently, since I am using AToMic to install deluge, and it is run under my own user (I have a user VL in almost all of my containers)
the deluge is run under that user. so I have to change ownership of target folders to that user. once I have done that, all started working. but that means that in other places I must have the same user with the same ID. not impossible just a pain. and I am not sure that my other apps will run in the same manner. i.e. if I install coach potato will it run under VL user as well. only once I go through that I will know. .
