OK, update !

 

All plugins installed and running - Whooohoooo. Thank you influencer and others for the help

 

Got my new licence and have reconfigured my disks so that i have a cache drive outside of my array. I have signed up to blocknews (As i do not know what i will use so will wait and see but got myself 200gig as a start) and signed up to NZBmatrix and paid for the VIP option to open everything up so i think we are good to go. I have also downloaded a guide to setting up everything and read about what is the core function of each app etc - been a busy boy !

 

Just before i start the setup again can someone confirm:

> what would be an ideal directory structure to set up on my cache drive so everything makes sense and does not need to be changed going forward

> In one of the posts a little earlier there was a post with  some data directoris and one was /.sab and the other seemed to be /./sick - was this just a typo and they should be mnt/cache/.ssssss so that they are ignored by any mover app and that this is only in the setup as windows will not accept a . at the start of o file name. does this then cover all sub directories so they get ignored as well

> I can leave everything as it is currently and just set a data directory and then everything will be maintained after a reboot - i dont need to install anything to the cache drive

 

We WILL get there  :)

All you need for your config to be maintained is the data_dir to be on your cache.

 

You have two options:

/mnt/cache/.apps/sab

/mnt/cache/apps/sab

 

For the second option you would go into your share config from the webgui and make a cache only share. You do this from the "use cache" dropdown. It will have 3 options, no, yes, and only. Choose only.

 

Using option 2 would be the best as you would have easy access to the app data directories over the network, and some apps, mainly plex, have an issue with running from a hidden directory(adding a "." at the beginning if a folder makes it hidden in linux)

 

Of course you could make separate shares for each app but having them all in a "apps" directory is cleanest.

 

That will cover everything in subdirectories as well and you do not need to install anything to the cache but you can if you wish. I do not as this ensures I always have the latest version. If course, if download URLs are down, the app wouldn't install if you have it set to install to ram (default). The only time this has been an issue was when the download url changed recently.

If anyone is interested in a new version of CouchPotato V1/V2 or SickBeard in which i add ability to choice gtihub and even branch from where user can install CP or SB and data storage with data persistency informations only on demand, then feel free to check out this plugin versions on GitHub: https://github.com/W-W/unRAID.

Sabnzbd will be published soon.

so I got my issue with plex sorted, I ended up removing serviio and the broken symlink got fixed and now it works. But now I am having other issues. With SAB I couldnt get the plg to download the file properly when I typed in the wget command manually it returned a 404 error. I downloaded the tar manually it installed everything and ran just fine.

 

Couchpotato v2 and Sickbeard I cannot get to work at all. They install the plg just fine but when I go to run either of them they put out their commands but nothing ever happens. The syslog and console show nothing going on after the run_cmd in console or root : TTY=console ; PWD=/ ; USER=nobody ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/python /usr/local/couchpotato_v2/CouchPotato.py --daemon --config_file /boot/config/plugins/couchpotato_v2/settings.conf --pid_file /var/run/couchpotato_v2.pid in the syslog.

 

I tried to look around in those folders to see if everything was there and there are no .pids for either of these plugins. I have no idea what I screwed up this time.

 

any ideas?

Links are down  :-\

WW, can you get to the changes I've made in the past few weeks? Looks like you forgot to merge the changes from master before pushing your update

Hi,

 

sorry if I am talking about something that people already know about.

 

Rebooted my unraid server today for the first time in a long time (yeh! :) and had some trouble with sabnzdb not installing/starting.

Had been using the old sabnzbd-0.4c-i468-bw.plg package definition.

 

After digging round (and a bit of laziness thinking that upgrading to the latest sabnzbd_mod.plg would fix my problem) - I think I have found what is causing my issue.

Looks like the new version of sabnzbd 0.7.0 has been moved under a folder (0.7.0) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbdplus/files/sabnzbdplus/0.7.0/

 

The package attempts to grab the latest source tarball @ http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd-0.7.0/SABnzbd-0.7.0-src.tar.gz it gets a 404

The url now needs to be http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/0.7.0/SABnzbd-0.7.0-src.tar.gz

 

I have had a go at hacking the /etc/rc.d/rc.sabnzbd file, editing line 133 to make it look like this (make the version a dir)

wget -q http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/${stable}/SABnzbd-${stable}-src.tar.gz

 

seems to work ok, at least to get sab running for me - no doubt line 143 (beta installs) might need a look as well.

 

Thought I would post this in case it helps anyone / provide a pointer in the right direction (I attempted to raise an issue in github for the plugin, but I seem to need a github account before I can do that? - not a git user so might be missing something)

 

I'd be happy to have a crack at putting a proper fix together but not sure about protocol, is it polite to play in someone elses sandbox unasked? :)

 

D

links are down and i cannot get SAB installing properly. rather frustrating!

Sorry what do you mean when you say links are down?

 

 

oh ok.

That is the old/original mod I was using.

 

I have switched to using the one here https://github.com/W-W/unRAID/blob/master FWIW.

 

Note my post above, where I had to fiddle a bit because sabnzbd look like they are storing v0.7.0 in a different layout (on sourceforge) then previous versions, but once I did that it installed fine.

Of course, this won't survive a reboot, until the plg(?) is updated permenantly to handle this.

 

Just my 2 cents worth

Some updates pushed yesterday were made without first pulling the changes from the master branch. The links that are down were fixed in those changes as the links only recently changed.

 

No need to be frustrated, it will be fixed soon, I have not been at a pc to fix it and I suppose WW hasn't noticed. I will not be home until tonight but I will try and get the changes put back in tonight.

 

Again, no need to be frustrated, these plugins are a free service provided by members of the community, we are not paid for this, :)

 

If you go back a few pages the user hilly attached all three plugins for verification purposes, those three should work for you until I can get pc access later on. Just remove the .txt extension and install/reboot. Note its not the post with only one plugin attached, its the one with all three.

Influencer, did you find out why SNAP doesn't mount the disk before installation of the plugins?

Been really busy so haven't been able to look, but I need to put in a fix for those that don't use the cache drive anyway, hopefully tonight I can start on it, gotta roll back yesterdays update and merge previous changes with it first though as the plugins are completely broken right now, :/

Just take your time, really appreciate what you guys do!

i do too! i didn't mean you were frustrating, nor the work you do! i just meant that it was frustrating as i couldn't do it and didn't know why, also it was late and i was tired.

 

i'm trying in vein still to get sab up and running though, can't find that post from hilly...

I believe it was around post 790

Ok, some bad news, I cannot revert the changes, TRYING to contact WW to see if git will allow him to do a reset to remove his last commits, but I don't think this is looking good as the last set of updates he did basically set the plug-ins back 20 days(URL fixes, sab beta download fixes, other minor fixes)

 

I'm going to see if I (hopefully) have the latest versions (before the update) installed, and I'll push those back in.

 

Ok, seems I do have the latest versions installed, so I pushed sabnzbd_mod and sickbeard_mod to the influencer branch, I'm not willing to push to master just yet, atleast until I can get in touch with WW. I don't want to overwrite his changes, but having working plug-ins for the community is priority #1, so for now, atleast for those two plug-ins, grab them from the influencer branch. Sig will be updated with that link

Everything was corrected in GitHub, so now SABnzbd should work.

 

In SABnzbd i added START/STOP and RESTART buttons. I also added showing data size and data persistency informations only on user demand.

In other plugins (SickBeard, CouchPotato v1/v2) i added ability to install from different GitHub sites and branches - these settings are in advance configuration section.

Appearance of the plugins was changed - see attachment.

Thanks, I tried to do a soft reset but since I wasn't the one that pushed the commits I couldn't. Lesson learned, make sure to keep my local branch up to date so I can atleast have a last commit to go off of!

I had some odd issue the other day where I rebooted and the array would not come online. The last line in the log seemed like it was trying to start sabnzbd. After wrestling with it for a while I installed the latest version (this morning) and it seemed to work. I rebooted and I am now having the same issue... array just says "starting" and the last line in the log seems to be trying to run sabnzbd. The settings screen is telling me it is "stopped". However, when I go to the port I set it up on (8081) sabnzbd is running.

 

Have I somehow got 2 copies running? I don't understand how plugins are run so I am not sure how I can check. Any help would be much appreciated :)

 

Jim

Are we good to go now then chaps??

 

Also, the screen grabs with the new buttons for sab (start, stop) look ace. But I have a load of missing images and stuff. I'm on a mac in chrome, is that why??

I checked the broken images and they seem to reference simplefeatures (I don't think I have that)

 

Still having the problems I listed above.... seems to have sabnzbd running but it almost seems like it's not the one in the settings menu, as that says it is stopped and the array is stuck as starting unless I totally disable sabnzbd.

I am new to unRaid and I just installed Sabnzbd and on the settings page I get this:

 

WARNING: Your data directory is not persistent and WILL NOT survive a reboot. Please locate Data Directory on disk for persistency.

 

I have searched the forums but have not found anything about this. how do I fix this?

 

thanks in advance!
