Thanks for this. I've used usenet before (obvs since I use the ngPost container also) but I think this needs a readme etc to help people get up and running. For example, to tell them there is no WebUI and they need to use Console and then a quick guide to Nyuu usage.  I mean I can guess its "nyuu   options   /storage/MY_LINUX.iSO" etc but people might need it. I also assume ParPar is present in package?

 

 

Quick Start Guide

Nyuu does not have a WebUI, so the use of the 'Console' is a must.

Its only job is posting / uploading the files you give it, so RARing and PARing needs to be done beforehand (and beyond the scop of this guide).

After the first run, a new 'config.js' would appear in your mounted '/config' path.

Changing the config.js

We'll first change the Usenet provider server settings (under 'server'):

Quote

 

* 'host' -> the domain name (e.g. 'news.newsgroup.ninja')
* 'port' -> the port to connect to (e.g. '80'). Needs to be an integer without quotes.
* 'secure' -> 'true' if port is SSL, 'false' otherwise.
* 'user' + 'password' -> your login to the provider.

* 'postConnections' -> number of parallel connections for posting (within your provider limits)
* 'checkConnections' -> number of parallel connections for checking the posts
Be mindful that 'postConnections' + 'checkConnections' must not surpass your provider connections limit.

 

 

2 additional important settings are in 'postHeaders':

Quote

* 'From' -> who posted this (e.g. 'A Poster <[email protected]>')
* 'Newsgroups' -> a list of newsgroups Nyuu will post to

It's recommended to choose a different 'from' than the default one, post to multiple newsgroups at random, remove the 'User-agent' header and turn on 'obfuscateArticles' to make sure your uploads are not DMCA'd.

An example command-line

Quote

nyuu -s "\${rand(25)}" --nzb-subject "{filename}" -e -O -o /output/test.nzb /storage/test.rar

 

This example would post the `/storage/test.rar` file using a randomized 25-length string post subject, and saves the resulting NZB in `/output/test.nzb`.

Added a guide and updated the CA template to reflect it doesn't contain a WebUI.
