Running Wizard Remotely (Server has no keyboard/monitor)

Post by AndyInNYC »

I installed sabnzbdplus via ssh (putty.exe) from my Windows 7 PC. The machine it is installed on is at 192.168.40.30 in the basement - a Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit server. That machine has neither a keyboard nor a monitor hooked up (nor is it easy to actually get one down there).

sabnzbd.ini has no 'real' information in it yet since the wizard has not been (nor seemingly can be) run.

Question: What do I need to edit on the .30 machine (config file) to get the wizard to run on a remote machine (ie 192.168.40.100)?

I have another machine running sabnzbdplus (.28) which I intend to transition out. Do I need to copy the .ini file from there and edit away?

Thanks in advance.

log in on .30 via ssh
stop SABnzbd
remove sabnzbd.ini
start sabnzbd like this:

Code: Select all

sabnzbdplus  -s 0.0.0.0:8080 -b0
then, from your Win7, access the SAB wizard on http://192.168.40.30:8080/
