# How to create launchd services for macOS
|
||
|
||
The following launchd script uses a separate user deluge, this is optional
|
||
but recommended for security. To create a new deluge user follow the
|
||
[Apple help] steps.
|
||
|
||
The paths to `deluged` and `deluge-web` assumes installation using [Homebrew]
|
||
and will need modified if using other installation methods e.g. `Deluge.app`.
|
||
|
||
## Daemon (deluged) service
|
||
|
||
Create the file `/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluged.plist`
|
||
containing the following:
|
||
|
||
```{eval-rst}
|
||
.. literalinclude:: ../../../packaging/osx/launchd/org.deluge-torrent.deluged.plist
|
||
:language: xml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Set the service to load on startup and then start it:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluged.plist
|
||
sudo launchctl start org.deluge-torrent.deluged
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Web UI (deluge-web) service
|
||
|
||
Create the file `/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluge-web.plist`
|
||
containing the following:
|
||
|
||
```{eval-rst}
|
||
.. literalinclude:: ../../../packaging/osx/launchd/org.deluge-torrent.deluge-web.plist
|
||
:language: xml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Set the service to load on startup and then start it:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluge-web.plist
|
||
sudo launchctl start org.deluge-torrent.deluge-web
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Logging
|
||
|
||
Logging is enabled by default in the above script, error level, and can be
|
||
modified as required.
