Deluge Forum

Hi,
I'm on a Raspberry Pi 4B running linux.

I've created a deluged.service file in /etc/systemd/system to automatically start the service.
It seems to work, but I'm having trouble transferring the completed torrents to a mapped network drive (defined in fstab)
I'd like to enable error logging. However, when I change the ExecStart line from:
to:
the daemon does not start. I've tried sudo systemctl restart deluged after a reload and the service does not restart.

I'm pretty much a noob with linux so I'm not sure where to go from here. The logging directory is writable (chown 755'd it), the service comes right up again if I remove the logging arguments. Does anyone have any insight?

My end goal is the headless Pi running the Deluged thin client, accessed via an Android app and saving completed files to the mounted SMB share.

Hi,

Seems fine except the "logrotate" I never used. May you try to remove it?
have your tried as root ("sudo bash" if needed)?

Please post your complete unit and daemon version too, may be useful

systemctl status deluged

or

journaltctl -u deluged -e

paste output

Removing logrotate didn't seem to make a difference. However, looking through more error logs I see it was getting kicked out as an invalid argument. It's valid for command line usage though. Weird.

How do I find my unit and daemon version?

journalctl -u deluged -e was what I needed to see the error, which was that I'd called the logging directory "deluged" but had the daemon pointing to "deluge".

Now that I've got that cleared up, I ran a torrent and checked the log and saw my error was "Permission denied" when trying to access the share to move the completed file to the NAS.

I have a Synology NAS, and I've set up a Samba share. I've created users on the NAS (one for pi and one for deluge).
However, when I mount the drive from FSTAB with it still shows the mounted directories as owned by ROOT with nothing else allowed to write to them, and so far my efforts to change that have hit a wall. The UID and GID are that of the deluge account.

Does anyone have a suggestion of where I can go from here, to get write permissions for the 'deluge' user working correctly?

with user=deluged i think the mount point have to be owned by this user;
