Deluge init.d script for Fedora

Deluge

Deluge

The below is a init.d script for fedora based systems to start Deluge in a daemon mode. As I recall I think I got this from the Deluge forum and for all intensive purposes it works well. I didn’t feel much like reinventing the wheel but at least I can post what I am using.

To get this to work properly you will have to edit line 14 and line 23. As far as I can tell with a quick look that is all you will have to do to get things working in a daemon mode.

To follow the rest of this guide I have named the init script “deluge_daemon.sh”.

  1. chmod a+x  deluge_daemon.sh
  2. su -c ‘chown root:root deluge_daemon ‘
  3. su -c ‘cp deluge_daemon.sh /etc/init.d/’
  4. su -c ‘chkconfig deluge_daemon –level 345 on’deluge_daemon –level 345 on’

When I discovered Deluge was over the summer of 2009 since I was attempting to set up a headless torrentbox. What comes with Fedora is Transmission and the interface leaves something to be desired, especially when you have many torrents loaded all at the same time. So I started off the attempt with Transmission and quickly outgrew that then started looking for another torrent client. A few years back I used Azureus 2.5.4 headless with a web UI and found that to be excellent other than the large memory footprint that Azureus used, and still does, so I attempted that with poor results.

From the Fedora 11 repos they have Deluge 1.1.9 which is a good start but from a web interface standpoint it needed to be more dynamic and with release of 1.2.0 the web interface has become the Ajax dream I had in mind. The problem is that the Deluge 1.2.0 RPM’s for Fedora 11 have not hit the repositories yet.
