    5 Deluge can be setup in such a way that several machines (clients) can control deluge on a central machine (server) through one of deluge's UI. 
    6 When the client is not on the same private network as the server, it is recommended that only the Web UI is used or that the GTK UI is used with SSH tunneling if you are using a version earlier than 1.2. 
    7 In Deluge 1.2, all communication between the GTK UI and daemon is encrypted. 
     5Deluge can be setup in such a way that several machines (clients) can control deluge (daemon) on a central machine (server) through one of deluge's UI. 
     6For Deluge 1.2 upwards, all communication between the GTK UI and daemon is encrypted so SSH tunnelling is not a requirement.  
    87 
    98The server setup sections are written for a headless linux server although they could be adapted for other platforms.

    1615=== Server Setup === 
    1716 
    18 ==== Without SSH Tunneling ==== 
    19  
    20  1. [wiki:Installing Install Deluge] on the server. 
    21  1. Run the deluge daemon: 
     17 1. [wiki:Installing Install Deluge] (including ''deluged'') on the server. 
     18 1. Run ''deluged'', the Deluge daemon: (You may wish to [wiki:Faq#HowdoIstartthedaemonwithloggingenabled enable logging] and/or use an [UserGuide/InitScript InitScript]) 
    2219{{{ 
    2320#!sh 
    2421deluged 
    2522}}} 
    26  You may want to [wiki:Faq#HowdoIstartthedaemonwithloggingenabled enable logging] and/or use an [UserGuide/InitScript InitScript]. 
    27  1. Run the Console UI: 
     23 1. Add a user and password to the authentication file (this does not have to be your server's user/pass): 
    2824{{{ 
    2925#!sh 
    30 deluge-console 
     26echo "username:password:level" >> ~/.config/deluge/auth 
    3127}}} 
    32  1. Enable remote connections: 
    33 {{{ 
    34 config -s allow_remote True 
    35 }}} 
    36  This allows other machines besides the localhost to be able to connect to the daemon using the GTK UI. 
    37  1. Double check it was set properly: 
    38 {{{ 
    39 config allow_remote 
    40 }}} 
    41  1. Exit the Console UI: 
    42 {{{ 
    43 exit 
    44 }}} 
    45  1. Shutdown the daemon: 
    46 {{{ 
    47 #!sh 
    48 killall deluged 
    49 }}} 
    50  1. Add yourself to the authentication file: 
    51 {{{ 
    52 #!sh 
    53 echo "yourusername:yourpassword:level" >> ~/.config/deluge/auth 
    54 }}} 
    55  where "yourusername" and "yourpassword" are the username and password you intend to use and "level" is your desired authentication level.  For example: 
     28 where "username" and "password" are the username and password you intend to use and "level" is your desired authentication level.  For example: 
    5629{{{ 
    5730#!sh 
    … …  
    6134 See UserGuide/Authentication for more information on authentication levels. 
    6235 
    63  '''Note:''' the username and password can be anything - they do not necessarily have to be your server's username and password. 
     36==== Enable Remote Connection ==== 
    6437 
    65  1. Restart the daemon: 
     38We will use deluge-console to configure deluged to accept connections from machines other than localhost. 
     39 
     40'''Note:''' ''These steps can be omitted if you are using SSH Tunnelling.'' 
     41  
     42 1. Run the Console UI: 
    6643{{{ 
    6744#!sh 
     45deluge-console 
     46}}} 
     47 1. Enable remote connections and check it was set properly: 
     48{{{ 
     49config -s allow_remote True 
     50config allow_remote 
     51}}} 
     52 1. Exit the Console UI: 
     53{{{ 
     54exit 
     55}}} 
     56 
     57==== Restart Daemon ====  
     58 
     59{{{ 
     60#!sh 
     61pkill deluged 
    6862deluged 
    6963}}} 
    70  1. (Optional) If you do not know your server's private ip, run: 
     64 
     65==== Verify IP Addresses ==== 
     66 
     67You will need to know the server IP address for setting up the client(s). If you do not know your server's private or public IP address use these commands: 
     68 
     69 1. Private IP: 
    7170{{{ 
    7271#!sh 
    7372ifconfig | grep -e 'inet addr' | grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -f2 -d':' | cut -f1 -d' ' 
    7473}}} 
    75  You will need to know this for setting up the client(s). 
    7674 
    77 Congratulations! The server is now setup for GTK UI access.

    88  1. Add yourself to the authentication file: 
    89 {{{ 
    90 #!sh 
    91 echo "yourusername:yourpassword:level" >> ~/.config/deluge/auth 
    92 }}} 
    93  where "yourusername" and "yourpassword" are the username and password you intend to use and "level" is your desired authentication level.  For example: 
    94 {{{ 
    95 #!sh 
    96 echo "bob:letMEin:10" >> ~/.config/deluge/auth 
    97 }}}
