[solved] deluge-web.service: Deactivated successfully

Before, my Debian server was running on Debian 10 - Buster.
So, about time to update to Debian 11 - Bullseye and than further to Debian 12 - Bookworm.
Everything running fine, except Deluge.
I removed, purged and re-installed deluged and deluge-web.
That did not help at all.
The version of deluged and deluge-web is 2.0.3-4

I can succelfully start deluged:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl status deluged
● deluged.service - Deluge Bittorrent Client Daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/deluged.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-05-04 22:26:27 CEST; 13h ago

             └─21312 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/deluged -d

mei 04 22:26:27 Debian systemd[1]: Started deluged.service - Deluge Bittorrent Client Daemon.
But deluge-web will not run and is de-activated:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl status deluge-web
○ deluge-web.service - Deluge Bittorrent Client Web Interface
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/deluge-web.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

As others did have problems with gettext/locale, I did comment out the lines 111 and 142 in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/i18n/util.py

Than I get this:

Code: Select all

No complaints about gettext anymore, but deluge-web is still deactivated.

What can I do next, to get deluge-web running again ??

You can use these parameters to turn on logging and get, potentially, useful logs. systemd isn't really going to tell you whats wrong as detailed as something like DEBUG logs on the web process would be, although you could check the journal too....think that would be default info logs which may or may not be useful.

Also 2.0.3 is years old at this point...and a whole minor version bump behind (2.1.1 now)

There is a PPA and pypi (using pip to install) also has the latest version available on stable.

I'd follow the good ambipro's advice above, but anyway, you miss a '-d' switch for deluge-web(unless using type=forking I would guess, but not normally the recommended way for this though). And yes, this behavior changed(forking off main process), though years ago.

thank you for the replies.
I am a bit confused now, because even on a new and fresh installation,
the -d parameter is missing in the file /etc/systemd/system/deluge-web.service.
if this is a know solution for the problem, I would expect that this would be in the installation package by default

anyway, I did add -d and I am fine.

Welcome :)

The systemd service-files aren't included in the debian package. They are in the deluge source-tree(with a '-d' for deluge-web also) but aren't installed by default, and so up to the package maintainers if including them in there packages additionally, which debian/ubuntu doesn't, hence e.g. these docs exist: https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... rvice.html
