SpaceInvaderOne Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 As I couldnt find a step by step guide I have written a guide on how to install sickbeard and SABnzbd on unraid and get them talking together with auto process scripts. Guide to install Sabnzbd with sickbeard Hope this helps some people out there. Quote Link to comment
Jawswing Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thank you so much! I've been tearing my hair out the past few days trying to get these two to work! Quick question on the autoProcessTV configuration. I don't have a username or password for my server, my unraid IP is: 192.168.1.142 and my sickbeard port is 8081. So am I correct in thinking this is right? # host=localhost # 192.168.1.142 # port=8081 # 8081 # username= # Credentials for logging into Sick Beard # password= # Credentials for logging into Sick Beard (don't use special characters) # web_root= # Sick Beard web_root # ssl=0 # http (ssl=0) (for https use ssl=1) Wait... come to think of it. Would it be: # 192.168.1.142 # Sick Beard host (localhost or IP address) # port=8081 # Sick Beard port # username= # Credentials for logging into Sick Beard # password= # Credentials for logging into Sick Beard (don't use special characters) # web_root= # Sick Beard web_root # ssl=0 # http (ssl=0) (for https use ssl=1) Quote Link to comment
SpaceInvaderOne Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Quick question on the autoProcessTV configuration. I don't have a username or password for my server, my unraid IP is: 192.168.1.142 and my sickbeard port is 8080. So am I correct in thinking this is right? # host=localhost # 192.168.1.142 # port=8081 # 8080 C username= # Credentials for logging into Sick Beard # password= # Credentials for logging into Sick Beard (don't use special characters) # web_root= # Sick Beard web_root # ssl=0 # http (ssl=0) (for https use ssl=1) the part you need to edit is below that without the "#" under the [sickBeard] so yours should look like this # host=localhost # Sick Beard host (localhost or IP address) # port=8081 # Sick Beard port # username= # Credentials for logging into Sick Beard # password= # Credentials for logging into Sick Beard (don't use special characters) # web_root= # Sick Beard web_root # ssl=0 # http (ssl=0) (for https use ssl=1) [sickBeard] host=192.168.1.142 port=8080 username= password= web_root=/ ssl=0 but are you sure your sickbeard port is 8080, that is normally SABnzbd's port and 8081 is sickbeards port. If you have changed sickbeards port then 8080 is correct Quote Link to comment
Jawswing Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yeah, my bad. I got the ports mixed up (read the config file wrong). Cheers for the help! Quote Link to comment
Jawswing Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Got all the way through. The only thing I'm left stumped at is this bit, what do I set the parent folder as when adding a TV Show? Quote Link to comment
SpaceInvaderOne Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 click on tv then ok. so should say */tv in parent folder box Then click set as default then you will not need to enter again. That is your tvshow directory you mapped to earlier. Sickbeard will create a directory for this show here Quote Link to comment
Jawswing Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thankyou very much! I'll get downloading now then. Cheers! I'm guessing I don't have to touch the post processing options in Sick Beard as I've set the script up? Quote Link to comment
SpaceInvaderOne Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 your welcome. No, no need to touch post processing on sickbeard will work fine as script will move files after each download. Quote Link to comment
yardley Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hey gridrunner, thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm trying to follow along but so far I'm a bit confused by the appdata share. For the SickBeard part of the instructions you mention that your appdata share is /mnt/user/appdata/sickbeard but then later during the SABnzbd part you mention that your appdata folder is /mnt/cache/appdata/sabnzbd, so one is /user and the other /cache. On my system I created the appdata folder and selected the "Use cache disk: Only" option. When I try to map the paths to my appdata share, it doesn't show up under cache, it only appears under /mnt/user/appdata like your first example. Can you please clear this up? Sorry if it's a stupid question but I'm a total noob. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
SpaceInvaderOne Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, thanks for pointing that out. Its not a stupid question at all, we all started as noobs!! /mnt/cache/appdata/sabnzbd for me (as i set up my appdata folder to only use cache) is the same as /mnt/user/appdata/sabnzbd. As the appdata folder is a user share it will always appear under /mnt/user/appdata/sabnzbd. But as it is on my cache drive (and cache drive only) it also exists as /mnt/cache/appdata/sabnzbd. You can check this on yours by going to the main tab on unraid. Here, where you see the list of drives, under cache, press the view button. Here you will see the folders and files on the cache drive. You should see it there. So you can just use either when setting up your dockers, /mnt/cache/appdata/ or /mnt/user/appdata/ as it is the same place. **note for someone that didnt choose to use only cache on the share, then the data would be spread across all disks and the cache, so it wouldnt be safe to use the address that isnt the share. But as it is only on the cache and not the data disks the cache address is okay. I hope this answers your question. If not ask here or pm me. Quote Link to comment

I checked the contents of the cache drive as suggested above and I do not see the appdata directory in there. I think what maybe happened is that I installed needos MariaDB docker prior to making the appdata share and I believe it created the share automatically (even though it wasn't showing up under my shares). I say this because of the image below. So because cache only wasn't selected it got moved to the data disks and then when I created it while following your tutorial it just made it visible but it was already spread out across the data disks and even though I selected "cache only" it didn't take. Is that right? I have no idea what I'm talking about hehe. Quote Link to comment
SpaceInvaderOne Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 you can check this by pressing view on your other disks and see if the appdata folder is present on the other disks. It wouldnt matter if you were to use this location for the appdata folder and use for all your dockers. The reason i use cache is just for speed. I put my docker image file, appdata and vms on the cache. Alternatively you could create a new folder and call it for example appdatacache and set that as only cache and install sab and sickbeard into that. After that you could stop your maria docker then press edit and change the location of the database as below Then goto a windows machine or whatever you use and goto the original appshare folder and copy the folder mariadatabase to the newly created appdatacache folder. Start your maria docker and it should work off the new location. When you are sure it works then you can delete the original mariadatabase folder in the original appdata. I assume then the appdata folder will be empty so then you can delete the appdata share. (goto shares then click on appdata, check delete then apply) Just make sure you deleting the old folder created by maria not the new one !! Quote Link to comment

Thanks so much for all of your help! I've got everything running perfectly! My appdata folder shows up under disk1 but I'm going to leave it like that for now, don't want to "break" anything now that everything is working. Quote Link to comment
