[HOWTO] install Sabnzbd inside a Jail | Updated 9.3

[jasch]

Attention Updated for Nas4free 9.3
fixed some typos
changes pkg_add to pkg install

This Howto is intended to show, how to install and Update Sabnzbd inside a Jail.
First of all a big Thx to alexey123 for his Help, and for all other where i borrowed some sentences.

Prerequisites:

You need to have a fully working jail , to do it , please read the excelent Wiki article: "http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=do ... owto:jails"

or use fsbruva excelent TheBrig jail manager: viewtopic.php?f=79&t=3894

and create a Jail, i call it Sabnzbd (in this Howto i refer to TheBrig created Jails), and stop it.

Before we are going to our Jail u have to create your download Folders on your storage.

I this example i create a main Folder Download.(my Storage Mount in this example is called Data)
Inside we create 5 Folders.

Backup (optional)
Complete
Conf(i recommend this because so we have our config external and even of N4F new install all is safe)
Incomplete
Scripts(optional)

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/Data/Download
mkdir /mnt/Data/Download/Backup
mkdir /mnt/Data/Download/Complete
mkdir /mnt/Data/Download/Conf
mkdir /mnt/Data/Download/Incomplete
mkdir /mnt/Data/Download/Scripts

After we created this Folder we must create a similar Folder in our Jail Mount Dir

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/"Path to your Sabnzbdjail"/mnt/Download

Now we need to Mount our Folder inside our Jail over fstab

add

Code: Select all

/mnt/Data/Download /mnt/"Path to your SabnzbdJail/mnt/Download nullfs rw 0 0

to your Jail config under fstab and start your jail.

Now its time to go to our Jail.

Code: Select all

 jexec "Sabnzbd JID" csh
root@Sabnzbd:/ #  

First of all we need to install some Packages we need for Sabnzbd

Code: Select all

pkg install python27 py27-sqlite3 unzip py27-yenc py27-cheetah py27-openssl py27-feedparser py27-utils unrar par2cmdline

Now we install SAbnzbd ( i recommed going to sabnzbd soundforge site and check for newest version and copy link from there)

Code: Select all

cd tmp
fetch "http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbdplus/files/sabnzbdplus/0.7.16/SABnzbd-0.7.20-src.tar.gz"
tar -xzf SABnzbd-0.7.20-src.tar.gz
rm SABnzbd-0.7.20-src.tar.gz
mv SABnzbd-0.7.20 Sabnzbd
mv Sabnzbd /usr/local/share/

Now we need to change /usr/local/share/Sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py

Code: Select all

ee  /usr/local/share/Sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py

and on the first line, change #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7

Attention, at the moment there is a bug(or feature) with phython 2.79 and untrusted ssl certificates.

add this to SABnzbd.py to sort it out until a better way is found(Sabnzb 8 will have it).
(u can also disbale it globally but this would be an security risk)

Code: Select all

opt_out_of_certificate_verification = True
if opt_out_of_certificate_verification:
    try:
        import ssl
        ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
    except:
        pass

Now we create Sabnzbd start stop script.

Code: Select all

touch /etc/rc.d/sabnzbd
ee /etc/rc.d/sabnzbd

and paste this in

Code: Select all

  #!/bin/sh
    #
    # PROVIDE: sabnzbd
    # REQUIRE: NETWORKING DAEMON
    # KEYWORD: shutdown
    #
    # Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf
    # to enable this service:
    #
    #sabnzbd_enable="YES"
    #
    # It is recommended not to run SABnzbd as root. Add the following
    # lines to /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf to run the daemon
    # with the credentials of user 'john'
    # user 'john'

    sabnzbd_enable=${sabnzbd_enable-"NO"}
    sabnzbd_user=root
    sabnzbd_PATH="/usr/local/share/Sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py"
    sabnzbd_conf="/mnt/Download/Conf/sabnzbd.ini"
    sabnzbd_IP=""
    sabnzbd_PORT="8085"
    #sabnzbd_pass=""
    #sabnzbd_APIKEY=""

    . /etc/rc.subr

    name=sabnzbd
    rcvar=`set_rcvar`

    start_cmd=sabnzbd_start
    stop_cmd=sabnzbd_stop

    sabnzbd_start() {
        PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export PATH
        checkyesno sabnzbd_enable && su ${sabnzbd_user} -c "$sabnzbd_PATH --daemon -d -f  $sabnzbd_conf" -s $sabnzbd_IP:$sabnzbd_PORT
    }

    sabnzbd_stop() {
        sabnzbd_pid=`ps -U ${sabnzbd_user} | grep "python.*SABnzbd.py.*--daemon" | grep -v 'grep' | awk '{print $1}'`
        checkyesno sabnzbd_enable && if [ -n "${sabnzbd_pid}" ]; then kill ${sabnzbd_pid}; fi
    }

    load_rc_config ${name}
    run_rc_command "$1"

You need to change
sabnzbd_conf="/mnt/Data/Download/Conf/sabnzbd.ini"
sabnzbd_PORT="8085"
to your needs(the Rest of the Parametes is not needed)
save it.

We need to make executable

Code: Select all

chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/sabnzbd

Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf

Code: Select all

    
sabnzbd_enable="YES"

This autostarts Sabnzbd with Jailstart

Now we should be able to start and stop Sabnzbd

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd start

SAbnzbd should now be reachable ander "your Jailip:sabnzbd_port"

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd stop

to stop SAbnzbd


When u start Sabnzbd first time(after Wizard) you need to assign your Folders under Settings Folders
Temp Download Folder incomplete...
Finished Folder Complete...

I hope this will Help some of you to get it running

Updating Sabnzbd is easy, go inside your Jail stop Sabnzbd and just install new version
(since we made our config file external in conf Folder our settings are all preserved)

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd stop
cd tmp
rm -rf /usr/local/share/Sabnzbd 
fetch "http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbdplus/files/sabnzbdplus/new Version"
tar -xzf new Version.tar.gz
rm new Version.tar.gz
mv new Version Sabnzbd
mv Sabnzbd /usr/local/share/

change /usr/local/share/Sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py

Code: Select all

ee  /usr/local/share/Sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py

and on the first line, change #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7

Start Sabnzbd

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd start

Thats all

[alexey123]

I think /etc/rc.d/sabnzbd must be executable

[jasch]

you right , done

[rpj]

Thanks for your nice guide to install Sabnzbd+ .



My system is i386, full install version 9.1.0.1 - Sandstorm (revision 847)

Jail has been created in "The Brig" and named Sabnzbd and do not know which flavor of Freebsd has to choose as there are three choices.I have blindly chosen: FreeBSD-i386-9.1-RELEASE-base.txz & FreeBSD-i386-9.1-RELEASE-src.txz, on the jail creating page of "the brig", without knowing what I do is correct.

[jasch]

Thx
I changed the Foldernames and updated to py27.
For the Jailflavor
x86 u only need RELEASE-base
x64 RELEASE-base and lib32

[plukkie]

I just installed sabnzbd with no error's only when i tryed to start sabnzbd for the first time from command prompt it says that i have to enable sabnzbd_enable="YES" to start sabnzbd.

so i did it, then it started but i can't surf to the sabnzbd openings page.

how can i find out what could be wrong ?

[solution]
choice a ip adres that you where not using in your network.
i choiced 192.168.1.2, but there was a wifi ap on the same ip adres so that was the problem.
now i changed it in 192.168.1.5 and it run's just great.

[raulfg3]

if you forget to enable sabnzbd_enable="YES" , perhaps forget other things, revise your steps or do a new install

[plukkie]

Now we need to Mount our Folder inside our Jail over fstab

add

Code: Select all
/mnt/Data/Download /mnt/"Path to your SabnzbdJail/mnt/Download nullfs rw 0 0

how do i alter this, it look like i have somthing wrong.

my datadrive is on /mnt/DataDiskUFS/Download
and my jail is on /mnt/DataDiskUFS/Jail/SABnzbd

should it look like this
/mnt/DataDiskUFS/Download /mnt/DataDiskUFS/Jail/SABnzbd/Download nullfs rw 0 0

or more like
/mnt/DataDiskUFS/Download /mnt/DataDiskUFS/Jail/SABnzbd/mnt/Download nullfs rw 0 0

[raulfg3]

or more like
/mnt/DataDiskUFS/Download /mnt/DataDiskUFS/Jail/SABnzbd/mnt/Download nullfs rw 0 0

like this, but remember that folder Download must exist on /mnt/DataDiskUFS/Jail/SABnzbd/mnt/

so create first prior to mount

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/DataDiskUFS/Jail/SABnzbd/mnt/Download 

from outside your jail

or

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/Download 

from inside your jail

[Dexter]

After my recent upgrade I couldn't use my old Sabnzbd install so I used your guide to install with the jail + TheBrig. Everything worked flawless but I just can't reach the WebGui for SAB from my computer. It seems the install went flawless, ini files and all are created but thats it. The process is running btw.

EDIT: Port was 8080. Dont know why because I had 8085 in the sabnzbd.ini

[laster13]

change #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/local/bin/python

Now it's

Code: Select all

change #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7

[handersen21]

Hi

cannot start sabnzbd from the script

runs fine if I start the .py file /usr/local/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py start

I have checked and rechecked and cannot figure where the problem with

Thanks

[rpj]

Thanks to "laster13". I was having hard time after update of SABnzbd it did not start and it retuns saying each time 'command not found'. It is infact I have to make a change #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7. And every thing went smooth.
Thanks again Laster 13.

[rhettabutler]

I can get this installed in jail, access webgui, configure folders in webgui, autostart with nas, no problems at all.

When I try to install SickBeard it never starts. It will get past vacuum cache.db but then it hangs up afterwards when looking for.
Should I try to not put Sickbeard in extensions folder inside of Jail? Would like to figure out what I am doing wrong...any help appreciated.

NVM...I have it working now. I created wrong folder structure.

[solkku]

I tried getting it to work as well, but as Dexter pointed out, the port needed to be 8080 for me too for some reason. I just changed it to 8080 in "/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd" and voila!

The port 8085 (or 8089 as I tested) didn't work, which is weird. I wonder if there's another setting somewhere pointing it to the port 8080 than in "/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd", thus creating a conflict in ports...

same here...
I think I did everything as said in the instruction. I also did this.
change #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7

but after:

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd start

I get this:

Code: Select all

ps: empty file: Invalid argument
Cannot 'start' sabnzbd. Set sabnzbd_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of 'start'.

[laster13]

Hi

Post your /etc/rc.d/sabnzbd

And check your /etc/rc.conf with sabnzbd_enable="YES"

[PnavE_81]

Code: Select all

  #!/bin/sh
    
#
    
# PROVIDE: sabnzbd
    
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING DAEMON
    
# KEYWORD: shutdown
    
#
    
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf
    
# to enable this service:

sabnzbd_enable=${sabnzbd_enable-"NO"}
    
sabnzbd_user=root
    
sabnzbd_PATH="/usr/local/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py"

sabnzbd_IP=""
    
sabnzbd_PORT="8080"
    
#sabnzbd_pass=""
    
#sabnzbd_APIKEY=""



. /etc/rc.subr

    

name=sabnzbd
    
rcvar=`set_rcvar`

    

start_cmd=sabnzbd_start
    
stop_cmd=sabnzbd_stop

    

sabnzbd_start() {
        
	PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export PATH

        checkyesno sabnzbd_enable && su ${sabnzbd_user} -c "$sabnzbd_PATH --daemon -d -f  $sabnzbd_conf" -s $sabnzbd_IP:$sabnzbd_PORT
    
}

    

sabnzbd_stop() {

        sabnzbd_pid=`ps -U ${sabnzbd_user} | grep "python.*SABnzbd.py.*--daemon" | grep -v 'grep' | awk '{print $1}'`

        checkyesno sabnzbd_enable && if [ -n "${sabnzbd_pid}" ]; then kill ${sabnzbd_pid}; fi
    }

    
load_rc_config ${name}
    
run_rc_command "$1"

I copied it from this thread and only changed the port number like others said

[laster13]

I wrote a howto for french community. It works

viewtopic.php?f=94&t=6885

Try it

[PnavE_81]

thanks...I got Sabnzbd and sickbeard running now
now it's time to do some configuration

[antking3806]

I got Sabanzbd running thanks to this Howto but I can't get sickbeard/sickrage working.

[Captain Ron]

Hey guys, I just followed these instructions. I have SABnzbd running. But I can't seem to be able to download anything. I am fairly certain that this is a permissions issue. Anyone able to lend a hand?

[Captain Ron]

Never mind, it appears I am dumb. I was testing on an old set of files that were missing. I think it is working now. False alarm.

[Barnabas]

I have followed the above steps, but i cannot get this to work.

When I run /etc/rd.d/sabnzbd start I get

eval: /usr/local/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py --daemon -d -f /mnt/Download/Conf/sabnzbd.ini: not found
eval: :8085: not found

I have changed the location of the ini file to sever different locations with no change.

I think there is some type of permission problem with the script.

Edit: runs fine if I start the .py file /usr/local/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py start but not from the script

Update: I finally got this working by creating a new jail and installing Sabnzbdplus from ports. Working great so far.

[Jlaidlaw86]

I followed the instructions above and I rechecked my work several times. However, when I try sabnzbd start i get "command not found"

What is causing this?

[Jlaidlaw86]

Ive been working on this for the last 2 days. I already abandoned a different method in hopes that the process on this thread would fix me problems.

If anyone is out there I sure could use the help

[AvanCade]

Works! Thanks!

Please note that the manual doesn't work on Nas4Free 10. I got miscellaneous. So for everyone struggeling, make sure you use the N4F version as mentioned.

[NukeNuke]

You can use sabnzbd (sabnzbdplus) in a jail on NAS4Free 10.2.0.2 (revision 1906) embedded.

Use the extension "TheBrig" announced here.

Please test your setting in a VM before use in production!

If your jail is running, you can install sabnzbdplus with this:

Code: Select all

root@host# jls #find JailID of desired Jail
root@host# jexec [JailID] csh
root@jail# pkg
root@jail# pkg install sabnzbdplus

To access mounts on host machine in the jail, you can use

Code: Select all

root@host# mount_nullfs /dir/on/host/data /dir/of/jail/on/host/data

.

[nvader]

I modified the /etc/rc.d/sabnzbd script to work for me. (running 10x)
follow all the other directions listed in the OP
then
chmod +x /usr/local/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py
then use this code below in your script
then ./etc/rc.d/sabnzbd start

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
    #
