WebUIs are great, but nothing compares to the cold hard configurable application. And deluge allows you to have the best of both worlds.
To be able to connect your local deluge client to your remote daemon and interact with it as if it were running locally is easy and just takes a few steps.
1. Gather Server Information
You need to know some settings and passwords on the server first. To do this, connect to your SSH server 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 Seedm8 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 client by killing the process.
STEP 3: Allow the server to restart the process in 10 minutes.
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 SeedM8 server — delta.seedm8.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.
You should find deluge is now functioning as a local client while manipulating the remote deluge daemon on your SeedM8 slot.
