Hi all

 

im currently running 4.7 Server Plus, have got 4 2tb data drives (i think all of them are precleared with -A), 1 parity and 1 cache drive

 

i followed a guide many years ago to install sickbeard and Sabnabd, these are installed on my cache drive in a .custom folder

 

my go script is this:

 

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

# determine if cache drive online, retry upto 7 times
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
    if [ ! -d /mnt/cache ]
    then
      sleep 10
    fi
done

sed -i "s/guest_enable=YES/guest_enable=NO/" /etc/vsftpd.conf

# If Cache drive is online, start SABNzbd
if [ -d /mnt/cache ]; then
  # Start SABnzbd and sickbeard
  installpkg /boot/custom/SABnzbdDependencies-2.1-i486-unRAID.tgz
  python /mnt/cache/.custom/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -s 192.168.1.5:88
  nohup python /mnt/cache/.custom/sickbeard/SickBeard.py &
fi

# Start Unmenu
cd /boot/unmenu
./uu
cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c 

 

now it works fine as it is but my only concern is would i need to reinstall sab and sickbeard all over again from unmenu or can i just use the same go script when ive migrated to 5.0?

 

im a bit apprehensive to do this but will need to do asap as i would like to use 3Tb drives

 

i know there is a sticky on how to migrate and i will follow that but was not sure about the Sab and Sickbeard bits

 

thanks!

Maybe hold out on this until 5 goes stable :( I've had problems and not being an expert it's very disheartening knowing that there are things wrong with my unraid and I can't do anything to fix it. All I can do is wait for some unraid pro's to lend a hand.

Odds are those lines in the config/go file would work just fine.

Just as in 4.7, you'll need to STOP the add-on processes before attempting to stop the array, otherwise the cache drive will not be able to be un-mounted.

hmm, i may give this a try this week

i took the leap of faith today and upgraded from 4.7 to latest 5.0rc16

 

followed the included instructions from Tom and also the wiki page linked to above

 

all went without a glitch - touch wood

 

ive left my apps (sickbeard and sabnzbd) in the hidden .custom for now and my go script is as above, all is working well at the minute

 

the new gui will take some getting used to though :)

 

thanks!
