NZBDrone & SabNZBd Permissions and Simlinks nightmare!

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I have been trying for the best part of 3 days to solve this problem and still getting absolutely nowhere.

 

Got both running (hoping to add CP and Plex into the mix too), but getting them to work side-by-side nicely is an absolute mission.

 

I'm using a fresh install of unRAID v6 with Docker Extension Page and trying to keep up with all the simlinks is a nightmare, however, according to NZBDrone's Wiki... this states Docker shouldn't be able to work with NZBDrone because the downloads have either no permission (simlinks :rw didn't work) or have to be on the system with the same path.

 

Is there an easy way around this?

 

Also, SabNZBd is playing silly sods too. When installing and trying to tell Sab where to download too, it gets completely ignored and the Downloads folder is dumped into the Config folder no matter what it's told.

 

Can someone write up a step by step guide for newbies how to perhaps get Plex/Sab/NZBDrone/CP installed into a standalone install into the Cache drive that's not as confusing as hell and will render results, rather than wrestling with something that doesnt seem to want to work correctly... And supply info on there setup please!

 

Someone must have cracked it, but the write ups are few and far between.  Trust me, if I could have, I'd have written it all down and posted it up!

 

The usual 'use the Extension page' suggestion is also getting me nowhere, I understand it, how it works etc, but there is too much to organise to get it correct.

 

Help hugely appreciated as always!

 

Shares:

/appdata

/cache

/data (Movies, Television)

/docker

 

Dockers in use are:

needo/couchpotato

needo/nzbdrone

needo/sabnzbd

eschultz/docker-plex

 

I'd like to install these as well:

mariadb

XBMC Headless Server

ownCloud (maybe)

Headphones

LazyLibrarian

 

I am loosing the will to live with Docker, surely it cannot be this hard!

How attached are you to SABNZBD?

I would recommend NZBGet personally and I can help a little more with the setup then.

easiest solution:

 

-v /mnt/user:/mnt/user

 

that makes any docker work exactly like unRAID.  All you shares will be accessed with /mnt/user/whateveryourlookingfor

 

try that, and if you still have issues, write back.

-v /mnt/user:/mnt/user

This .... For me it was the only way to make the apps see all of my folders and properly configure the, within the app

How does Sab move files to the data share?

 

Is this correct? Baring in mind I want everything to be able to communicate with each other easily, instead of the current nightmare I find myself in!

 

docker run -d --name="nzbdrone" -v /mnt/cache/appdata/nzbdrone:/config:rw -v /mnt/user:/mnt/user -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 8989:8989 needo/nzbdrone         

that looks correct.  SAB moves files wherever you tell it, in the settings of SAB directly.  With that run command, any folder location you assign in SAB will start with /mnt/user/

 

Once you type (or paste) that into the box in SAB, including the / then the box will show a dropdown that lists all subfolders under that location, which will be all your user shares.  Just navigate from there to whatever folder you want, and you should be good.

 

** I added a screenshot for you.

So Sab completed folder should point to my data array instead of completed download folder?  How does it take care of the post processing then?

see screenshots for my settings.  you will probably need to modify to your specific situation, but this should be enough to get you resolved.

 

They are kinda big, so I'll post in several posts.

the pertinent setting for SAB.  Again, you'll need to change to your exact setup, but this should show how it all works on my system.

That doesn't seem to have worked:

 

2014-07-30 10:39:07,430 ERROR: Post Processing Failed for filename.S01E04.720p.HDTV.x264-2HD (Cannot create final folder /mnt/user/data/Television/filename.S01E04.720p.HDTV.x264-2HD)

 

I see you have a category of formula 1.  How does Sab know you are d/l formula 1?

 

I change it manually in SAB.

That doesn't seem to have worked:

 

2014-07-30 10:39:07,430 ERROR: Post Processing Failed for filename.S01E04.720p.HDTV.x264-2HD (Cannot create final folder /mnt/user/data/Television/filename.S01E04.720p.HDTV.x264-2HD)

 

where did you get that error, in SAB, or someplace else.  That looks like a permissions issue, or a mistake in folder path.  Are you sure your Television folder has a capital T, or is it perhaps television?

 

What are your permissions in SAB?

 

You'll need to provide more information as to what your current settings are if we are to help you.

The error was in Sab.  No errors from Drone :)

filename.S01E04.720p.HDTV.x264-2HD

 

filename doesn't look right.  It should be the name of the show.

  • Author

I took the show name out :)

first, try /mnt/user/data/Television (notice the / before mnt)

 

Then, if that doesn't work, share your folders again, as that was your categories also.

 

Next, I'm not sure if tv and movies needs to be under groups on the right.

 

Finally, if still not working, show me your shares, but deeper, show a screenshot of /user/data/Television, so I can see the whole path.

That is what I had before but I'll try again.

I'm not sure what you mean?

Removed.

Attached

nothing attached, I still can't see your folder structure.

 

Open SABnzbd, go to config, folders.  There, in teh box to the right of Temporary Download Folder type /mnt/user/

 

do you see a dropdown box that shows your user shares?

 

if not, the docker is not setup correctly.

 

Have you installed the docker plugin?  Are you using it?  I ask because it does not require you to enter your own run command, it basically does everything for you.  If you are not using it, I suggest that you should.

I used the extension plugin and no, typing in /mnt/user brings nothing up.  What should the settings be for installation of docker scripts?  Can you enter the data in the plugin and screenshot it please :)

data.png.5f08da377989b5ac9fcaaeec94005463.png

use the plugin to remove all SAB containers and images.  You want to start from scratch.

 

Then click the green plus, select the SAB template, and add /mnt/user to both boxes, then add (see screenshot).  then install.
