avahi-daemon won't let me complete installation - Ubuntu 16.04

Post by LollyGagger »

I followed the JCFP PPA directions for installing sabnzbdplus on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 Linux Container on Proxmox. But I can't get past the below...

Code: Select all

mozab@sabnzbd:~$ sudo apt-get install par2-tbb
[sudo] password for mozab:

So it doesn't want to let me install, because avahi-daemon is not configured. But when I try the suggested command to configure it, it says it's not a real command.

I couldn't find anyone else with this issue while installing, and I'm not sure what else to try.

You're trying to install par2-tbb, but it is already installed "par2-tbb is already the newest version". So no need to do that.

And you're running in a container, so why bother about avahi / bonjour?

Just run sabnzbd.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what else avahi accomplished aside from bluetooth stuff (I had never heard of it).

I tried to run it anyways, and it says it's running, but I can't get anything to showup with localip:800 on my browser.

Code: Select all

mozab@sabnzbd:~$ systemctl status sabnzbdplus
* sabnzbdplus.service - LSB: SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus; bad; vendor preset: enabled)

The only potentially pertinent entry in journalctl I could find was this:

with localip:800
800? Why? That's not correct

If inside a container, you have to expose the correct port to the host machine ...

systemctl ... ? Why? What if you start sabnzbd from the command line.


IMHO You're trying to do a few (complex) things at the same time. Keep it simple, I would say.

Sorry, that was a typo. I didn't change any of the default settings, I was attempting localip:8080. I did systemctl just as a habit to check whether services are running.

But the point is: it said the service was running (without any errors), but I couldn't access it via localip:8080.

ufw is disabled and this is the output of netstat -n:

Code: Select all

mozab@sabnzbd:~$ netstat -n

I've set this up before (just 2 months ago) in the same ubuntu 16.04 container, and did not have to manually expose a port to access it on my LAN; the installation just made it available on port 8080.

Did I miss a step somewhere in this guide?
https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... buntu-repo

If I type `sabnzbd` in the command line it runs, but i need it to autostart and run as a service upon boot. I followed the "How To Run As a Service" portion of that guide, and it shows that it's active and running upon startup, but port 8080 doesn't open unless I manually type sabznbd for some reason.

That may depend on many things, including container/vm setup and defaults. But first things first.

Manually setting the host IP as 0.0.0.0 did the trick.
