Having to reinstall DietPi Dashboard often and now Deluge

DietPi v8.8.1 : 04:53 - Fri 09/23/22
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────

I keep having to uninstall and then reinstall the Dietpi dashboard and now I have to do the same to deluge. Any ideas what to look at before I consider a complete reinstall?

currently installed software.

the webpage for dietpi dashboard just spins. Deluge webpage gives a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

reboot the system and check following

1. dietpi-dashboard

systemctl status dietpi-dashboard
journalctl -u dietpi-dashboard

2. deluged backend server

systemctl status deluged
journalctl -u deluged

3. deluge-web frontend server

systemctl status deluge-web
journalctl -u deluge-web

4. network ports

ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN

After the reboot and upgrade to the latest dietpi version v8.9.2 the dashboard s working for now

and what exactly is the issue now?

I reinstalled Deluge and it is working again. If I have anymore problems with having to reinstall them, I will post in this thread again.
