iocage sonarr

So I have installed sonarr using the new GUI in the 11.2 nightlies. Everything gets installed fine and seems to be running fine. I mounted my media dataset to the jail. Sonarr can see it and browse it just fine. When I go to add existing series, sonarr tells me that I don't have permission to write to the directory. This makes sense because sonarr is running as user 'sonarr' and the dataset is owned by another user. In the old warden jail system I followed these instructions to change the user that sonarr starts/runs as:

Code:

pw useradd -n USER -u UID -d /nonexistent -s /usr/sbin/nologin

service PLUGIN onestop
chown -R USER:GROUP /var/db/PLUGIN
sysrc 'PLUGIN_user=USER'
service PLUGIN start

The first, second, fourth and fifth command work fine. The third command doesn't because that directory doesn't exisit.

After I run the above commands I can no longer start sonarr. If I switch the user back to 'sonarr' then it starts just fine...but I don't have permission to write to the directory.

Anybody have any words of wisdom :)

 

[blubyu]

ok, I figured it out :)

Replace this step:

Code:

chown -R USER:GROUP /var/db/PLUGIN

With this step:

Code:

chown -R USER:GROUP /usr/local/sonarr

This is just for sonarr...it might be different for another plugin.

After I ran all the commands I restarted sonarr and it started fine. I then had read/access to the dataset and was able to add all of my existing shows.

Thanks for this, having a similar issue when trying to add shows to Sonarr wasn't sure how or what permissions to change.. will give this a shot.

Keeps telling me the user/group does not exist.. did you create a new user and group in the Sonarr shell or did you link it with the user/group defined under FreeNAS?

You can't link users and groups in a jail to them in freenas. You have to create them in the jail.

I would also suggest not following these instructions. They are not very simple or good. Best way is to just add the sonarr user in the jail to the group that owns the folder you are writing to.

Okay a little slow so please be patient with me.. if the folder permissions are set to user: daniyal, group: GreatApe.. I should go into accounts and add a sonarr user to GreatApe?

No.

Create a group in the jail with the same gid as GreatApe and in the jail add sonarr to that new group you created.

 

[Daniyal]

No.

Create a group in the jail with the same gid as GreatApe and in the jail add sonarr to that new group you created.

Thank you! Will try and get this done tonight.. have zero programming knowledge or know how so highly appreciated.

This isn't programming, this would be system adminstration. Most programmers wouldn't know this stuff. There is a great thread around here or possibly a resource that talks about permissions and jail setup for Plex, sonarr, ect. Do a quick search in the resources section.

The dataset you are using as the mount point can be made so the owner is "nobody" and the "other" has write access. I'm using the same dataset for multiple plugins that need the same rights. This was just the easy option for me.

did you change the permission on the main pool or the data set e.g. media?
