ArchLinux - Setup Deluge to use HTTPS

• Stop deluged torrent process:

systemctl stop deluged.service

• Go into deluge ssl folder:

cd /srv/deluge/.config/deluge/ssl

• Backup or remove the old certificate and key:

mv daemon.cert daemon.cert.old && mv daemon.pkey daemon.pkey.old

• Generate the new deluge certificate and key:

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out deluge.cert.pem -keyout deluge.key.pem

• Answer questions for the certificate.
• Be sure to give the right ownership to certificate and key:

chown -R deluge:deluge /srv/deluge/.config/deluge/ssl

• Launch deluge web UI (User Interface) via http.
• Open the Preferences menu, select Interface tab and check Use SSL.
• Change Private Key into ssl/deluge.key.pem and Certificate into ssl/deluge.cert.pem.
• Click Apply and then Ok.
• Or instead of using the web UI, modify /srv/deluge/.config/deluge/web.conf (stopping deluge-web before is needed):
  • "https": true,
  • "pkey": "ssl/deluge.key.pem",
  • "cert": "ssl/deluge.cert.pem",
• Start deluged torrent process:

systemctl start deluged.service

• Restart deluge-web UI:

systemctl restart deluge-web.service

• Launch deluge web UI using https and enjoy.
