Ubuntu – How to start Deluge in the background

bittorrentbootdelugeservices

Basically I have Deluge all setup for my account with Transdroid and the WebUI and everything, however, what I would really like, is for it to start the moment the computer does so that no matter who logs in, my downloads continue. Furthermore, I don't want other users to be able to see it when they log in, not in the taskbar or in the notification area. What would be ideal would be to have it as a service which I could control through the Deluge GUI. Any suggestions?

Deluge has a daemon too. I haven't tried deluge since I started using transmission, and I've never tried deluge's daemon, but I know it has one. You might have to install the daemon (deluged) separately. It may be as easy as putting the following line in /etc/rc.local:

sudo -u yourusername deluged

but read the manual page for deluged first (man deluged). You might have to tell it to use the same configuration as the gui version, and it may have a separate init or upstart script, in which case you'll want to edit those instead of /etc/rc.local.
