I made this nix flake that allows you to easily generate a plugin skeleton, start a local deluge instance in a sandboxed directory and register the plugin with that instance. This repository provides a turnkey Deluge plugin dev environment.

https://github.com/ibizaman/deluge-plugindev

Why you want this:

No fiddling with python virtual env
No need to clone deluge repo
Fully reproducible thanks to nix
Fully sandboxed environment
Test plugin easily on web and gtk

From the Readme:

Start a deluge instance with a local config directory:

Code: Select all

nix run github:ibizaman/deluge-plugindev#deluged -- \
    --config .config

This creates a .config directory with the correct layout.

Start the web instance:

Code: Select all

nix run github:ibizaman/deluge-plugindev#deluge-web -- \
    --config .config

Go to http://localhost:8112/ to connect to it, the default password is deluge.

Generate a plugin template:

Code: Select all

nix run github:ibizaman/deluge-plugindev#createplugin -- \
    --config .config \
    --name MyPlugin \
    --basepath . \
    --author-name "Your Name" \
    --author-email "yourname@example.com"

Then restart the deluged instance so it picks up the plugin:

Code: Select all

nix run nixpkgs#killall .deluged-wrapped

nix run github:ibizaman/deluge-plugindev#deluged -- \
    --config .config

And you'll see the plugin:

Happy hacking!
