(humble) Request: Installation guide for Deluge in a jail on 9.10 (current stable build)

[NigelNoFriends]

Hello Gurus.

I have been struggling with he installation of Deluge in a standard (new) jail for some time.
Have found and followed many guides, troubleshoots, tweaks etc from various forums and blogs, none of which have completely worked. Various errors arise (depending on the guide or tweak I follow), but I think because all the guides are dated, there's been lots of changes to pages directories/paths. I can follow a guide, just not savvy enough to identify the problem/work-around on a more technical level.

So - I am hoping that someone a little more FreeNAS savvy, running the most recent stable FreeNAS 9.10 build, could spare a little time to do a jailed install and bluet point the steps for everyone looking to install it for the first time today.

Thanks in advance for your time, effort, and generosity!

"Install DELUGE in a jail"

Per the Author:

Unfortunately not. That one got my hopes up when I first found it, because it was pretty only a bit over a month old! But still no good. After installation, you cant start the daemons due to them not being in the folders they should be (or something to that effect.).

Give me a shout if you end up giving it a go for the lols - can always delete the jail whether it works or not (i must have made/deleted 20+ jails, from all the guides/attempts.

 

[Mirfster]

Can you describe what issues you may be having? Also, please note that there currently is an issue with the Certificate that *may* be causing issues with jail templates being downloaded (not 100% sure)...

"Certificate Errors?"

 

[Mirfster]

FYI, it was stated that the Certification Issue was resolved in this thread so you may want to give it another go and see.

Something changed with the pkg install deluge. Its not installing the same way as before. working on it.

 

[midman]

Thanks

 

[Nucshuco]

working on it.

 

[NigelNoFriends]

I edited a few thing that I missed in the install and startup script.
chown -R nobody:nobody /home/deluge/.config/deluge/

cd /home/deluge/.config/deluge/
echo "YOURUSERNAME:YOURPASSWORD:10" >> auth (for GTK)
ee /home/deluge/.config/deluge/core.conf

Thanks very much for putting all that together for me! I haven't been able to go through it yet as I'm having network problems at the moment, preventing me from being able to download the entire deluge pkg in one go (or even 50 seperate goes, for that matter - just keeps timing out when trying to fetch files).

I don't suppose you know exactly where the system puts all the files, before extracting/installing at the end? That way I could manually download the parts in a broswer and put them in said directory before running pkg install deluge - so it'd have everything it needs initially.

 

[NigelNoFriends]

Try this
mkdir /var/db/deluge
chown -R nobody:nobody /home/deluge/.config/deluge/
chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/deluge (I run CP and SR as nobody. makes it easy for me. just change startup scripts to user nobody and chown db and install directories)
cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Also, I can't seem to find 'home' directory anywhere - unless this is a substitute word for something?

 

[Nucshuco]

Sorry
pkg install deluge installs everything BUT deluge now. not sure whats going on. Was working earlier this year.
I also tried cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/deluge/ && make install clean with the same results.

Yeah, I have had hit-and-miss installation (port/pkg) over last week or two.
At the moment my pkg install fails on this file: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/gcc-4.8.5_2.txz
I can download it OK through a browser, I just don't know where to put it within FreeNAS.

So what're you thinking? Broken package - nothing to do until (if) they fix it?

 

[Nucshuco]

yes I think its broke. If you look at this link he made a lot of changes on

Do you know if there away from me/anyone to let him know? feedback or something - like git? (sorry for all these Qs - it's just that qbittorrent and transmission don't cut it. I'm hoping deluge will be a nice balance. Unless you know of a different client that works in a jail?)

Thank - have sent of an email.

Side note - got installed (eventually) using the pkg install call.
When you try to start the deluged service, it tells you to first add deluged_enable="YES" to etc/rc.conf.
After you've done that, try to start the service again and you get this:

Code:

root@deluge:/ # service deluged start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/deluged: WARNING: /home/asjklasdfjklasdf/.config/deluge is not a directory.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/deluged: WARNING: failed precmd routine for deluged
root@deluge:/ # 

So it's looks (to my untrained eye) that some of the targets are messed up.
Anyway, will wait and see if I hear back from the maintainer.
Cheers.

 

[Nucshuco]

can you do pkg info and post here so I can see.

 

[Nucshuco]

OK something got fixed and pkg install deluge is working now.
so try this

jexec deluge csh
pkg upgrade
pkg install deluge
mkdir /var/db/deluge
chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/deluge
cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
rm deluged
touch deluged
chmod 777 deluged
ee deluged
paste startup script deluged into deluged

Code:
