SABnzbd Forums

Hi
I'm getting outside of my pay grade here; after installing sabnzbdplus on a new install of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, systemctl status sabnzbdplus gives me "Active: Exited"

I rummaged around a bit but haven't found a solution. As an interim measure I'm starting sabnzbdplus with crontab @reboot /usr/bin/sabnzbdplus - it works but doesn't seem all too elegant.

What do I need to do to get sabnzbdplus to start as a systemd service when the PC boots?


Thanks

You need to configure the service by setting a valid user in /etc/default/sabnzbdplus (reboot or run 'sudo systemctl daemon-reload' afterwards). Until you do, the service cannot run the program and bails out - just as the status indicates.
