Background

On the home server (yuksam henceforth), I have deluge running for torrenting and plex running as a media center.

Constraints

When torrenting, my method of consumption will be either plex or not-plex. If it is plex, then I want my downloads to go to X place. If it isn't plex, then they can go to a default location (currently /shares/t which is a samba share).

Currently

I just found out that you can add a "labels" plugin to deluge by which you can classify torrents and set location settings on them. So I queue a torrent, assign a plex-movies or a plex-music label and deluge should take care of moving the content there properly.

Problem

AKA PERMISSIONS PERMISSIONS PERMISSIONS.

Deluge is a daemon and will be running as init (I think?). Plex is indexing content from the home dir of a plexie user. Everytime I go and finish a torrent I'm doing a sudo chown -R plexie /home/plexie/media which is @gif shudder feeling for me.
