Thin client settings

[qo_0b]

Hi

i'm trying to connect to my VPS deluge from my home deluge client. But i must miss something cause remote deamon won't start (on my home client connection manager) even if my deluge webui on my server is up and running...

Would really appreciate help to get trough it.

Thanks in advance.

Did you follow this guide: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/ThinClient ?

I read it, and yes i used it (partially) to set up both my home and remote client, but the thing is, i also follow a guide from a seedbox provider i happen to use and which is pretty accurate (i'm talking about feral hosting); their guide looks like that:

You need to know some settings and passwords on the server first. To do this, SSH into your Feral slot and execute the following command sequence:

cat ~/.config/deluge/core.conf | grep daemon_port


This will return something along the lines of

"daemon_port": 23456


— write down the port that is returned, which for this example is 23456.


To get your access password, run the following command:

cat ~/.config/deluge/auth


— and this should return something like the following:

USERNAME:p455w0rD:10

localclient:4452c27c18b6d6044ae7b6ce540f4aed0e110621:10


The important information is the first line — the username and the series of random characters between the middle 2 colons (:) — this is the daemon password.

Write it down. In our example the username is USERNAME (it will actually be your Feral username), and the password is p455w0rD.


2. Allow Remote Connections to the Daemon


STEP 1: Log into your Deluge Webui, go to Settings and set 'Allow remote connections' to Yes;

STEP 2: Restart your deluge daemon.


3. Local Client (Thin Client) Setup



Download deluge (make sure the version matches the daemon version running on the server — currently v1.3).

Install and run deluge.

Go to "Preferences -> Interface" and untick "Enable" under "Classic Mode".

Restart deluge. You should now see a connection manager box pop up.

Remove the localhost daemon.

Click "Add" and enter the address of your Feral server — blue.feralhosting.com, for example.

Set the port to the port you got in step 1.

Enter the username and password you got from Step 1 — in our case USERNAME and p455w0rD.

Click "Add" to add your server's daemon — you should now see a green icon as the status for the host you just added.

(Optional) Expand "Options" and select "Automatically connect to selected host on startup" and "Do not show this dialog on start-up".

Click "Connect", and the connection manager pop up box should disappear.

So, the thing is, i'm trying to do the same thing on another server from another seedbox provider, and i know i'm missing something but i don't really know what...

So far i've been able to get the port number, but i didn't get results for the password so i looked into the auth file, and there was only one line (localclient:....:10) not two like this:

USERNAME:p455w0rD:10

localclient:4452c27c18b6d6044ae7b6ce540f4aed0e110621:10

So i tried to edit it, that's not successfull...

Any idea if, i'm in the good way and if i should keep fowllowing this guide ?

Solved, needed to edit the auth file with the echo command and to reboot server, thanks for help.
