The Deluge torrent client can be run headless which is useful for downloading on a remote media server.
Install deluge & deluge-web
sudo apt install deluge deluged deluge-web
Systemd Services
/etc/systemd/system/deluged.service
[Unit] Description=Deluge Torrent Server [Service] Type=simple User=austin Environment= WorkingDirectory=/home/austin/ ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluged --do-not-daemonize Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Unit] Description=Deluge Torrent Server [Service] Type=simple User=austin Environment= WorkingDirectory=/home/austin/ ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluge-web Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Starting the Services
sudo systemctl enable deluged.service sudo systemctl start deluged.service sudo systemctl enable delugeweb.service sudo systemctl start delugeweb.service
Using Deluge Web UI
Open the web client:
http://MY_SERVER_IP:8112
The default password is ‘deluge’
Auto-connect of Web UI to Daemon
Modify ~/.config/deluge/web.conf and set “default_daemon” to the hash found in ~/.config/deluge/hostlist.conf.1.2
I assume you need to manually connect once to populate hostlist.
