Sabnzbd update to 1.2?

[fmdx]

Is an update to 1.2 expected any time soon or does anyone have a way to do it aside from Freenas UI?

I'll work on updating the freebsd port. this update had a few depemdency changes so its not a straight forward as usual.
ill also try working on the plugin

any chance 1.2 will actually work? why is sabnzbd the only plugin that seems to have issues with permissions that you can only fix by creating a user, then it messes up the permissions on the share. why can't IT JUST WORK RIGHT? I didn't know when I built this freeNAS server. This shit just doesn't work and I have spent hours trying to get stupid shit like permissions and users working. This should just work, that is why I thought people used FreeNAS... You get a Web UI and THINGS WORK. So far, I don't see any advantage, it is so different from linux, I am not a command line genius and I guess you have to be because the Web UI doesn't let you do much at all.

Your outdated tutorial on youtube is proof this shit is very complex to setup. In linux it just works. I don't see the point in all this Jail crap. I give up. fuck FreeNAS. Wow it has ZFS but the only plugin that actually works is Plex. Unless you want to take the time to fix a bunch of permission and user crap that shouldn't be a problem in the first place, I don't see the point of all this fucking bullshit.

I've never had an issue with it nor any tutorials. I've nuked my jails from scratch and rebuilt them multiple times using tutorials.

Thanks Josh for doing that work to keep things up to date, I'm never sure if you just didn't notice an update or you've got a full desk.

Thank you for your feedback @RumbleNAS. I'll actually be in San Jose this Saturday for a Jiu-Jitsu tournament if you want to meet to discuss? =]

@fmdx
You're welcome, glad to help! I built version 1.2.0 yesterday, I see it is available in the repo now.

@RumbleNAS
With regards to permissions, v1.2.0 will work exactly as previous versions.
The reason Plex work more easily than Sabnzbd is because for most people's use cases, Plex only needs read access. With default permission (644), any user, including Plex's user could read files.
But, since Sabnzbd needs write access two complications are experienced.
1) The folder Sabnzbd writes to, has to have ownership/permission levels allowing Sabnzbd user to write.
2) The files Sabnzbd creates may have ownership/permission levels that doesn't allow your other user to modify these files.

The youtube video is outdated, as noted in the blog post, linked in the youtube video's description. The steps on my blog are up-to-date.

Reasons some linux distros work easier...
* it uses the same user for multiple services (which you could do in FreeBSD if you choose)
* it doesn't separate different plugins/services into separate jails
The steps on my blog detail what I do, including installing all of the related plugins in the same jail, and running the plugins as the same user.

When you say v1.2.0 will work exactly as previous versions do mean i should expect to get the " Cannot change permissions of /media/Downloads/sabnzbd/Complete/tv/" error or will that go away? Also,can i update from within the app now or do i need to use the freenas gui?

that error won't go away. I usually see that when there are windows permissions on the files/folders sabnzbd is needing to modify.
"ls -l /media/Downloads/sabnzbd/Complete/tv"
would be helpful

unfortunately, sabnzbd does not have in-app updating. you would need to use the FreeNAS webui.

Thanks for the clarification. I will update through the webui next chance i get.

i haven't had a chance to do that update yet. if you do get errors related to unrar tell me. another forum member had errors but I wasn't sure if it was the download they were trying, or an actually issue with sabnzbd v1.2.0

 

[fmdx]

I did a fresh install of 1.2 a few weeks back, I haven't had an issue with anything.

 

[fmdx]

1.2.1 was released... ;)

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

1.2.1 was released... ;)

should be in the freenas repo tomorrow.

Will there be a version 2.0 plugin for 9.10.x or is development finished for the old jails?

Thank you very much for all of your efforts supporting the old jail system by the way!!

Cheers,

yup I plan on updating it soon.
I'll keep the PBI plugins updated until there is a new alternative.

I read future versions of FreeNAS will have a plugin system (using iocage), excited to switch to something better without losing performance like with docker.

2.3.1 now :D

It seems every time you catch up, another patch comes out :P

 

[fmdx]

Have there been any attempts to bring this into 11.2? (Sabnzbd is up to 2.3.5)

i havent had a chance to test or develop for version 11.2 yet, but i am fairly sure there is an iocage plugin for sabnzbd.
thanks, yeah i assume lots of the PBI type plugins are way behind lol.

Yes, entirely.

I don't know why the devs aren't using my version or telling me where I went wrong!
I'm a newbie, with no idea, but I managed to write a working plugin for iocage.
I've then let them know in the official "fix up sabnzbd plugin for iocage" request on the bug tracker.

For some reason no one has stolen my code (at my request / permission - no problem!) tweaked it and done it - it's good to go.

You can install my plugin right now from the CLI

Here's the repository thing for it.
https://github.com/jaxjexjox/freenasplugintest

I did it 2 months ago, I forget the command but it's in that thread.

Oh and you can be sure, if someone as basic as me can do it, you're going to see some great plugins for iocage / FreeNAS in the next 12 months, people like Josh have 10x more skill than me, when he gets time for example you'll see more good stuff

I'm curious why it hasn't shown up yet, too. This was one of the big things holding me back to jumping to 11.2!

Maybe you should hook up with Josh and getting it into official-ness.

Here's basic instructions on how to get 2.3.4 working in FN 11.2 RC1

Not the best, but I'm sure someone will do a better job soon.
