Hi All!

 

I've decided that I want to set up a pre-rolled VM for Fedora 20 with a bunch of apps - Transmission, Sabnzbd+, Sickbeard, Couchpotato, and FlexGet to start with.

 

I may eventually release this as a standalone image, but I know that there's going to be some things that should be user configured, and I'd rather not have to have a user shell into a VM to set them, and I also want said user to be able to understand what's going on, and what's being installed, and to be able to audit them themselves so that they understand what's going on.

 

So Hence, I'm going to write a small script that gathers a bit of information from a user, generates some config files, and launches an anaconda/kickstart through xen.

 

Since I'm not running 6.0 yet (maybe this weekend), I'm starting on real hardware, and have been iterating my kickstart file and script.

 

I'm including what I have so far here, and will update as I get further along.

echo 'net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse = 1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf

) 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee /var/log/post_install.log
chvt 1
%end

Discovered that Transmission's settings.json doesn't exist until transmission has been started and stopped, and the configuration gets written to disk upon stop, so my initial bootscript now includes a:

 

systemctl start transmission-daemon

systemctl stop transmission-daemon

 

before we try and change the whitelist with sed.

Can I just say that as soon a a this is working I can move the bills of my unRAID to 64bit.  Thanks. The only request would be to add Headphones to the suite of apps. It would be a complete nzb-er image then.

This is a learning project for me, and I intend to always keep it open and easy to modify.  I'm aiming for an initial set of installed tools, and then I'll add more as I feel the need.

 

Once I figure out some early items, headphones should be easy to add.

 

Right now I'm dealing with stupid defaults in transmission-daemon that would make sense for the GUI version, but not here, and are unfortunately going to have to be fixed after install, and during first boot because of the way that transmission stores them - as far as I can tell, it stores them in it's binary and writes them to file after it's been started and stopped for the first time.  So broken.

 

I think I may skip ahead to working out how to install sab, couchpotato, and sickbeard under a secondary user from the post install scripts.

 

Getting further.  Package list so far:

 

%packages
net-tools
openssh-server
rsync
wget
openssh-clients
vim-enhanced
transmission-daemon
lsof
git
python-devel
python-cheetah
par2cmdline
unzip
unrar
python-yenc
pyOpenSSL
openssl
tar
python-pip
%end

 

And Install Scripts:

 

# Install SABnzbd+
cd /home/unraid/
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/0.7.16/SABnzbd-0.7.16-src.tar.gz
tar xzvf SABnzbd-0.7.16-src.tar.gz
chown -R 1000:1000 SABnzbd-0.7.16
# Cleanup
rm -f SABnzbd-0.7.16-src.tar.gz

# Install CouchPotato
git clone https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer.git
chown -R 1000:1000 CouchPotatoServer

# Install SickBeard
git clone https://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard.git
chown -R 1000:1000 Sick-Beard

# Install Flexget
pip install flexget

 

I'll add headphones next, and then it's a matter of figuring out how to set up systemctl scripts for each one of these.  To make those easier, I might set up a tarball on S3 that anyone can grab and audit before installing.  I don't think that I want to inline creation of a bunch of scripts.

And for the double-post, I'll need to figure out how to inline automatic mounting of the host platform's NFS exports.

Opened a thread on the Plex Forums about a Repo.  I think some of the git stuff can be updated from within the app, and Transmission as well.

 

I think I can easily add deluge and probably an alternate NZB program or two.  I know people like them, and installation costs almost nothing.  It's the configuration time that's expensive.

 

I think I may also be able to make anaconda ask for a timezone, but we shall see.

 

Added a bunch of Python Items from the repos so that pip doesn't have to install so much for flexget.

 

Up to 330 packages installed by anaconda directly.  Some additional I'm sure by the time I'm done.

Removed one problem package (pip manages it) and now have the installer asking for timezone.  Added headphones.  Looks like it works just like couchpotato and sickbeard.

Ok.  I'm done until beta3 comes out *AND* I have a chance to do some work with it.  Here's my current kickstart in case I get hit by a bus:

Was thinking about adding deluge, but the deluge-daemon package requires X, and that means that I skip it during normal installation.

NZBget drops out of default install because of no binary distribution AND requires a compiler other than gcc that REQUIRES Wayland.

 

F'n weird.
