SABnzbd Forums

So I have 2 installations of SABNZBD one is a local copy running on Windows where Pushbullet notificaitons work fine.

My other SABNZBD installation is running on a linux machine in a data centre and I get an error when trying to send a pushbullet notification from that instance...

I don't have admin rights to so I need to open a support ticket... But I want to try to describe to them what it is that they have to fix... When I look at the config screen there is a problem noted with SSL... I am guessing that this might be causing the pushbullet problem?

The python version is noted as - 2.7.6 (default, Nov 23 2017, 15:49:48) [GCC 4.8.4] [UTF-8]

OpenSSL: OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
Warning Secure (SSL) connections from SABnzbd to newsservers and HTTPS websites will be encrypted, however, validating a server's identity using its certificates is not possible. Python 2.7.9 or above, OpenSSL 1.0.2 or above and up-to-date local CA certificates are required.

When I do a test for a pushbullet notification using the same working API key that I use on my local copy of SAB I get the error - Failed to send pushbullet message

Here is the relevant part of the debug log...

The version of Python/OpenSSL is too old.
Pushbullet seems to only support TLSv1.2+, while your Python/OpenSSL doesn't.

As Safihre says: The version of your Python/OpenSSL on Linux/Seedbox is too old. So ask your seedbox provider for a install with at least Python 2.7.9. If they can't, choose another provider.

Background: Python 2.7.6 is from 2013, and is included on Ubuntu 14.04 (released in ... 2014). So that's all at 5-6 years old. Too old for today's secure connections.

FWIW: the problem is not TLS 1.2, but SNI (Server Name Indication) as used and forced by api.pushbullet.com.
See the "SNI mandatory" ... for which you need Python 2.7.9 or higher.
