Path to NAS (Mac -> QNAP)

Post by Ahrhome »

Hi guys.
Need your help.
Sabnzbd is installed on iMac and works no problem at all
What I want is all downloads to be sent to my QNAP Nas,how do I do that,that my destination folder would be on Nas.
Step by step would be great,do I have to mount via terminal something.
Please help in details.
Thank you in advance.

From your Mac, can you access your NAS from your file browser?

If so: fill out that directory / path in SABnzbd "Incomplete"

If not, this is not the place to ask for help: not a SAB problem.

OK, then go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/config/folders/ to "Completed Download Folder" ... click on Browse, and walk to the directory on your NAS, and click on Accept.

Done.

I said " click on Browse, and walk to the directory on your NAS,". Walk. Not type / "put in".

It must be mounted on the Mac file system, with the resulting path to be something like /some/where/on/your/filesystem/directory. Only then SABnzbd can use it.

It is Mac specific how to do that. I don't know Mac

Unless there exists a macOS browser plugin (for Safari) that can access the SABnzbd API, I think you'll need to use the SABnzbd 'watched' folder.

Suggest creating a new folder under QNAP's 'Download' share called 'watched'. Then login to SAB, go to the configuration pages -> Folders -> Watched Folder. Set the watched folder path as [/share/Download/watched].

Then you'll be able to access 'watched' via your iMac by first navigating to the 'Download' share. Save your downloaded nzbs into this location from your web-browser. SAB will automatically import them and commence downloading.

What doesn't work? Do you know how to select the NAS as a download location in your web-browser?

Don't whine. If you want help, please state exactly what you've done so-far.

Your lack-of-detail suggests the problem is user-error. ;)

Just like I said,I have sabnzbd installed on my mac,it works no problems,downloads everything to its own hdd,I need to send downloads to Nas.My mac and media streamer connect just fine to Nas and I can see all the folders and files there.
I can go to sabnzbd in browser to 192.168.1.15:8080 just fine,but the path to destination folder on Nas is wrong.The correct destination path to Nas is 192.168.1.13/Download/complete
But it does not work.
That's where I stuck.

The SABnzbd application on your iMac is entirely different to the SABnzbd application installed on your NAS. They don't work the same way.

The macOS installation probably includes the ability to send items directly into the SABnzbd queue as a full graphical desktop environment is available. You don't get this ability when SABnzbd is installed on a remote device (like your NAS) as most NAS don't support desktop environments.

If you want this to work, you'll need to make some compromises.

Let's start with saving files from your browser. I'll assume you're using Safari. When you save a file, can you save it to the 'Download' share on your NAS? Please post a screenshot to show what happens.

Note: this step does not involve navigating to the SABnzbd UI. ;)
