Deluge thin lets you manage your deluge on your home home PC without logging on to Deluge-WebUI. It's used in the same way as a regular deluge and the adding of *.torrent files is carried out in the same way. You add torrent files to deluge on your home PC and these are added to deluge on your service.
Step 1
Go to Deluge settings -> Daemon and enable Allow Remote Connection, then restart Deluge from the client area.
Step 2
You download and install the latest version of Deluge for your operating system from:
http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download
Step 3
You start Deluge and go to Preferences-> Interface -> you tick classic mode, and then you save changes and restart Deluge
Step 4
After restarting Deluge you go to Connection Manager and add a new connection
Step 5
Fill in the following blanks
- Host name: it can be found in the Client Area
- Port: port can be checked in your Deluge Webui in Connection Manager, there will be host 127.0.0.1:XXXX, after : it's your deluge port. So if there is 127.0.0.1:5111 your port is 5111.
You can check your deluge port via SSH with the following command:
echo -e "Your Deluge port: \e[31m$(grep '"daemon_port": [0-9]*' ~/.config/deluge/core.conf | awk -F ': ' '{print $2}' | awk -F ',' '{print $1}')\e[0m"
- User: it can be found in the Client Area
- Password: it can be found in the Client Area
You click on Add
If everything was done properly the status of your server will be highlighted in green.
Step 6
Now you click on Connect. From now on you can use Deluge without logging in WebUI.
