Deluge on K8S

Does anyone have an example deployment yaml for Deluge that they can
share?

I have it running, can connect to the WebUI, and can nmap 6881 on
TCP+UDP from another host. For the life of me I can’t get it to
download any of the torrents I add though.

If I check the peers tab on any torrent, peers appear and disappear
from the list constantly.

I had more or less the same config running on Docker, so I’m at a loss
as to why nothing will download.

 Linuxserver.io image if it helps.

Check the file permissions on whichever storage you have attached. I
had similar problems and that was the cause, the container couldn’t
write to the NFS file share I had told it to use but modifying the
permissions there was enough to get it working.

I'm not sure it will help you, but I have deluge running in k8s.

I'm using a pair of custom images for deluge : daemon and web-ui.

You can find my custom images and k8s manifests
[here](https://github.com/Neraud/home-
server/tree/main/apps/base/download-deluge).

​

But as ms\_83 has already suggested, you most probably have a
permission issue with your volumes.

Thanks - that's worth checking. The container logs aren't showing any
errors, even if I set DELUGE\_LOGLEVEL to debug but that could just be
how the linuxserver team set up the docker image.

What type of volume are you using for the downloads ?

You could try replacing it temporarily with an `emptyDir` to check if
that changes the behaviour.

It's an NFS file share, same as u/ms_83. I don't have problems saving
to the same share from my sabnzbd pod, so now I'm wondering if I
remembered to set the UID and GID envvars in the Deluge one.
