FreeNAS : Finally solved it

After much hair pulling and desk thumping I have SABnzbd working on Freenas.
Using the Overbyrns tutorial, I have added my own observations which should help most users. here goes

SABnzbd Usenet Client & Dependencies

Postby th3joker on Wed Oct 22, 2008 7:32 pm
This is the Usenet client SABnzbd and includes all the dependencies required to run it.

More on SABnzbd here: http://www.sabnzbd.org

Overbyrn supplied the SABnzbd, dependencies and a shell script to run it.
SABnzbd: http://www.freenas.co.uk/files/sabnzb0.4.3.tar
Shell Script: http://www.freenas.co.uk/files/sab.sh

Overbyrn's instructions:-
00) Ensure you install the FULL version of Freenas not the embedded version (option 3)
0) Putty (google it) into server as root, make sure you set this in FreeNAS under services, SSH. tick enable, tick permit root login
1) Untar file to a temp folder on freenas. eg. tar zxvf sabnzb0.4.3.tar (Do this from Putty) yuo need to put these files somewhere with plenty of space for unzipping, I created a directory within my main CIFS/SMB share. File manager in Freenas is your friend here. double click the permissions and set them all to ticks, permission for everyone basically.
2) pkg_add -v sabnzbdplus-0.4.3.tbz (Do this from Putty)
2.5) Reboot Server
3) first ran it from command line ... /usr/local/bin/SABnzbd.py (Do this from your server box, I couldn't run it through Putty)
4) cntrl-c to exit.
5) it created a /root/.sabnzbd dir
6) edited /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini (I did this by moving the file, to my CIFS share, editing in windows and using FREEnas file manger to put the completed file back in the /root/.sabnzbd dir
7) changed from localhost to 192.168.0.22 (I set this to my Freenas server IP, 192.168.1.40. I had set this to static to stop it moving around after a boot)

re-ran as in step 3)
9) went to http://192.168.0.22:8080/sabnzbd/ You may have to set the port to something else, I used 8082
10) configured to my liking
not done step 11 yet myself
11) created script as below to stop / start as a daemon process...

#! /bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting SABnzbd."
/usr/bin/sudo -u sabuser -H /usr/local/src/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
;;
stop)
echo "Shutting down SABnzbd."
/usr/bin/fetch "http://192.168.0.22:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown" > /dev/null
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0

12) noticed in console logging external binary unzip missing...(I had to do this also)

2008-09-23 20:14:32,166::ERROR::unzip binary... NOT found!

13) did pkg_add -rv unzip. this installed unzip into /usr/local/bin
14) restarted sabnzbd using script... /root/sab.sh start
15) checked "connections" tab - no sign of missing unzip.

Used this sabnzbd wiki link for reference ... http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/start

made and uploaded a newer version of the zip containing v0.4.3 build of sabnzbplus.

Thanks go to Overbyrn & Auskento for their work

Add a command script in freenas... like so

/usr/local/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

as option -> PostInit

This is how it should be done in Freenas... Don't start editing your own script! Freenas gives you the tools!! USE IT!!!

FANTASTIC,

thanks so much I had to change
/usr/local/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
to
/usr/local/bin/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

and it works sweet as a nut

Anyway to get 0.4.11 working? Why do you have to use the full install and not the embedded? Seems the embedded works just as well (I'm running mine of a 1GB stick, more than enough to run SABNZBD).

jubei · Post by **jubei** » August 25th, 2009, 8:55 am

So here's what I did....I'm running a 0.7 RC2 nightly build

First of all, to install SABNzbd 0.4.11, I had to find a package port of it:

Code: Select all

pkg_add -rv ftp://ftp3.ca.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/sabnzbdplus.tbz

I installed this LAST! Before I installed it, I installed everything else:

Code: Select all

pkg_add -rv ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/python26-2.6.2_2.tbz
	
	py26-setuptools-0.6c9
	pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/py26-setuptools-0.6c9.tbz

	py26-cheetah-2.2.1
	pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/py26-cheetah-2.2.1.tbz
	
	py26-cherrypy-old-2.3.0,1
	pkg_add -r http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/FreeBSD/ports/packages/python/py26-cherrypy-old-2.3.0,1.tbz
	
	py26-utils-0.3.0
	pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/py26-utils-0.3.0.tbz
	
	py26-cElementTree-1.0.5_1
	pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/py26-cElementTree-1.0.5_1.tbz
	
	py26-openssl-0.8_1
	pkg_add -rv ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/py26-openssl-0.8_1.tbz
	
	py26-chardet-1.0.1
	pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/py26-chardet-1.0.1.tbz
	
	py26-feedparser-4.1_2
	pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/py26-feedparser-4.1_2.tbz
	
	pkg_add -r par2cmdline
        pkg_add -r unrar
        pkg_add -r unzip

So there are two problems I'm having....one is a catch 22

1.) SABNZBD complains that it needs Python python26-2.6.2 insalled and also all of these dependents. Now the problem is is that the dependents ALL need python26-2.6.2_2 installed. I'm not sure if that's the cause of my 2nd problem....

2.) SABNZBD starts but no matter what I edit the sabnzbd.ini with IP wise/port wise (192.168.0.134 in my case), it keeps trying to launch on the localhost:

Code: Select all

"HTTP INFO Serving HTTP on http://0.0.0.0:8082"
"INFO::Launching browser with http://localhost:8082"

I've launched SAB like so

Code: Select all

/usr/local/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

do

Code: Select all

-d -f

gives me an error.

Do the devs, or anyone else, have any idea where I'm going wrong?

Here's the sabnzbd.log:

SABnzbd 0.4.11 is not compatible with Python 2.6.

We will try to get compatibility on SABnzbd 0.5.0.

Going to dump some of my findings here in the hope that the next time I break my FreeNAS I can get SABnzbd back up and going quicker.

Found a post on the FreeNAS forums that saved me a couple weeks of pain.

https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/free ... 74&start=0

One important note (I blame FreeNAS ) is that you need to set a STATIC IP in order for FTP and some other services to work correctly (including SAB).

First things first, run /usr/local/bin/SABnzbd.py to generate a default sabnzbd.ini file in the /root/.sabnzbd folder. Then edit this file with the static IP of the system, this is required to access the web interface.

After installing SAB I decided to hack together a page in FreeNAS to bounce me over to the SAB web UI instead of having to type it every time. Eventually I'll try to make it look more similar to the other FreeNAS services pages, but for now I got it to the point where it pulls the system's IP automatically to generate the web UI url. You WILL still need to set the proper IP in the sabnzbd .ini file in the home directory though.

Relevant portion of fbegin.inc to add SABnzbd under Services menu.

Code: Select all

//snip
// Services
$menu['services']['desc'] = gettext("Services");
$menu['services']['visible'] = Session::isAdmin();
$menu['services']['link'] = "services_status.php";
$menu['services']['menuitem'] = array();
$menu['services']['menuitem'][] = array("desc" => gettext("CIFS/SMB"), "link" => "services_samba.php", "visible" => TRUE);
$menu['services']['menuitem'][] = array("desc" => gettext("FTP"), "link" => "services_ftp.php", "visible" => TRUE);
$menu['services']['menuitem'][] = array("desc" => gettext("SABnzbd+"), "link" => "services_sabnzbd.php", "visible" => TRUE);
$menu['services']['menuitem'][] = array("desc" => gettext("TFTP"), "link" => "services_tftp.php", "visible" => TRUE);
//snip

I took one of the other service pages and modified it to suit my needs. Put this into a file called services_sabnzbd.php and if you made the change to fbegin.inc above when you reload your Web UI you should see SABnzbd+ under Services and be able to go to the page and access a link to the SAB Web UI.

Thanks for the explanation, that did the trick for me. Except that I wasn't able to solve that little problem with unzip (pkg_add -rv unzip).

Is there any easy solution to update SABnzbd to the latest version?

dragon788 · Post by **dragon788** » December 19th, 2009, 3:31 pm

flyerman, read the link I posted that goes to the FreeNAS forum, sessus over there has a VERY good how-to on updating, and I've added my 2 cents on getting it working as well.
