LINUX: Running deluged and web-ui as different user?

[gurabli]

Hi,

can somebody confirm that it is possible to run deluged (daemon) as user1 and deluge-webui as user2 on the same system?

For example, using upstart script on Trusty with uid and gid set to user1 for delgued, and deluge-web uid and gid to user2. Any configuration changes this might require, what do you think?

I need this since I need to run deluged as user1 to route all the traffic over vpn, and deluge-webui as user2 which is not routed over vpn, so it would be accessible over wan. There is nothing to justify webui to be routed over webui, so it would not mean any security risk at all, but would solve many problems.

Thanks!

Would love to know the answer to this as well. Have tried creating a second user as a member of the daemons group. This will run, but the webui can't see the daemon at that point.
