- In-place Upgrade of Raspian to the latest version (Buster to BullsEye). Not the best approach but didn't want to reinstall due to customization
- Download SABnzbd for linux on SABnzbd and extract the package
- Follow instruction to install required python modules (check SABnzbd help)
- Run SABnzbd via SABnzbd PY

Hope it helps.
Cheers
I don't think that Buster/Bullseye is needed.

After you've seen SABnzbd running correctly, you can autostart SABnzbd:

you can change the existing /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus (which should be there already from the standard debian repo install) a bit:

Change

Code: Select all

NAME="sabnzbdplus"
DAEMON="/usr/bin/sabnzbdplus"
to

Code: Select all

NAME="sabnzbdplus"
#DAEMON="/usr/bin/sabnzbdplus"
DAEMON="/home/blablausername/git/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py"
Of course: fill out the correct path

The a

Code: Select all

sudo service sabnzbdplus restart
and everything should be OK

Buster = Debian, and debian does difficult about unrar because of rights/patents/etc

"unrar-nonfree" ... can you install that?

If not, maybe Raspi forum is better for help

EDIT: https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/unrar-nonfree ... so there is unrar-nonfree in the debian archive non-free.
