SOLVED how to autostart NzbGet

[dirkme]

Hi there,

I have created a jail, got into the jail (oh dear me) and installed nzbget with

Code:

pkg install nzbget

but now I would like to start and autostart it after reboot.

Thanks for all willing to help

Did it, just downloaded the FreeBSD version and followed their instructions.

Can you please elaborate? From the NZBGET installation page (https://nzbget.net/installation-on-freebsd), all they say is:

Starting on boot
NZBGet can run in background as daemon (service). When starting NZBGet use command -D instead of -s:

<nzbget-directory>/nzbget -D

You will not see any output of this command. Add this line to the init scripts of your system. Also add a shutdown line to the shutdown scripts:

<nzbget-directory>/nzbget -Q

I couldn't figure out how to do this on my own so I installed via the command you first shared but it doesn't allow for automatic upgrades.

I'm unsure how to execute a .sh script to start and stop the nzbget daemon at startup and shutdown of the jail. The nzbget package [pkg install nzbget] isn't being maintained.
