Deluge user issue

[doobinator]

Hi Guys,

New to Linux and tot he forum. I was following this awesome build guide but have run into a small issue, when I run the following command

sudo -u deluge vim /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/auth

I get this

sudo: unknown user: deluge

I am a little unsure whether I have to create the deluge user or if it is created by deluge?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry guys I have answered my own questions, completely missed the Deluge part of the guide. Don't ask me how!

You beat me to it

Was just about to reply and say you seem to have missed a step. The creation of the deluge user is this line:

Code: Select all

sudo adduser --disabled-password --system --home /var/lib/deluge --gecos "SamRo Deluge server" --group deluge

Anyway, glad to hear you've cracked it.

Ian.
