SABnzbd Forums

Hi All!
May someone help me please to run more copies of SABnzbd on ubuntu server 11.10? For example, I'd like to run sabnzbd_1 on port 8080, sabnzbd_2 on port 8081 and so on. In few words i want to run a copy of sabnbz for every single user. Of course each user will use its own usenet account.
Thank you in advantage.

As long as you don't run SABnzbd in daemon mode, all data will be stored
in the personal area of the user.
So as long as you use a unique port per user, things will work.
However, this is assuming each user will have a personal Usenet account.
If not, then you will have to reduce the number of connections for the Usenet server
so that the total number of connections will be below the allowed maximum (different per provider).

Thank you for reply shipike!
SABnzbd is running in daemon mode and every user have its own usenet account, but please may you explain me better?
Thank you.

You'll need the -f parameter to set a unique INI file and work-area for each user.
See: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/command-line-parameters

You need to make sure every instance runs on its own port and uses its own configuration file (sabnzbd.ini). As long as all instances use on the same internet connection, it is not necessary to use different usenet subscriptions, as long as the total connection count for all instances combined stays within the limits for the usenet service used.

Thank you shypike and jcfp!!
Finally i found out the solution. But have a last question please. Is it possible to run the other instances in background mode?
