Neither the deluge package itself, nor the dependencies it brings with itself create the /var/lib/deluge directory for storing its config and resume files. It also needs to be owned by deluge:deluge that _are_ created by the acct-group/deluge and acct-user/deluge dependencies. This /etc/init.d/deluged start fails. This is also extremly hard to debug as the stdout and stderr of /etc/init.d/deluge and the start-stop-daemon are not getting logged into /var/log/messages. Isn't that supposed to be the log for OpenRC? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --ask net-p2p/deluge 2. /etc/init.d/deluged start Actual Results: not output but the process identified by /run/deluged no deluged process in pstree or ps axuw output. Expected Results: deluged daemon started. Fix: mkdir /var/log/deluge chown deluge.deluge /var/log/deluge Optionally replace s-s-d invocation in /etc/init.d/deluged with: start-stop-daemon --verbose --progress \ --stdout /var/lib/deluge/start-out.log \ --stderr /var/lib/deluge/start-err.log \ --start --user "${DELUGED_USER%:*}" \ --name deluged --pidfile /run/deluged.pid --background --make-pidfile \ ${DELUGED_UMASK:+--umask ${DELUGED_UMASK}} \ --exec /usr/bin/deluged -e HOME="${DELUGED_USER_HOME}" -- --do-not-daemonize ${DELUGED_OPTS}
Let me know if I can actually help to fix the documentation instead of just submitting bugs!
At the moment the PC on which I use deluge is not working, so I can't help fix this bug. I hope I can be back to it ASAP
In Fedora it seems they create it at install time: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/deluge/blob/rawhide/f/deluge.spec#_115
I would like to comment that this is still an issue for starting both deluged and deluge-web via openrc (cannot comment on systemd). The way I see it there are two relatively simple solutions: 1) Set user 'deluge' homedir to /var/lib/deluge by adding ACCT_USER_HOME=/var/lib/deluge to package 'acct-user/deluge' Just checking against my own Gentoo packages for example, this is used by polkit and mongodb. 2) If for some reason we are against the 'deluge' user having a homedir, we can add the following keepdir /var/lib/deluge use prefix || fowners deluge:deluge /var/lib/deluge to package 'net-p2p/deluge' For example this solution is used by packages ntp and openldap. I personally think #1 should be preferred, as the deluge user effectively treats /var/lib/deluge as a homedir. Further: The reason this is difficult to root out is because by default deluged (when started with openrc; I cannot speak to systemd) logs to /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/deluged.log, and deluge-web (again, when started with openrc) logs to /var/lib/deluge/deluge-web.log, neither of which can happen when /var/lib/deluge has not been created and permissions set. It may be worth consideration to set the log defaults to /var/log (from /var/lib) to conform to Gentoo standards, but this is a separate issue.
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=9b3461d8ab83d867c3a562d5dc16663f1edb55da commit 9b3461d8ab83d867c3a562d5dc16663f1edb55da Author: kolhell <kolspambox@gmail.com> AuthorDate: 2023-03-20 18:59:01 +0000 Commit: Joonas Niilola <juippis@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2023-04-05 11:54:38 +0000 acct-user/deluge: add /var/lib/deluge as ACCT_USER_HOME Sets homedir for the 'deluge' user to '/var/lib/deluge' which is the default working directory for both deluged and deluge-web when started with openrc. This change makes the openrc scripts work out-of-the-box after emerging deluge. Previously users were required to manually create and set permissions for this directory and/or edit configs for deluged and deluge-web for them to be startable via openrc. Since the deluge user also writes logs to this directory by default, this solution is not always apparent to users.
