Recommended Configuration

Intro

If you are new, you may be lost as to what you should do setting up my plug-ins. All of my plug-ins keep the same format so once you learn one, it carries over to the rest(with a few minor differences).

Recommended Configuration

Alright, I suggest leaving the install dir as /usr/local/*******. This installs the app to the Ram cache, which will be lost on powerdown or reboot. _When you start back up the app will redownload, ensuring you have the latest version without having to update yourself._

Check the box next to Data dir/ and make it something like /mnt/cache/apps/sabnzbd and /mnt/cache/apps/sickbeard . If you are using basic unraid, you will not have a cache disk and will either need a separate disk outside of the array or keep the data directories on the array, _see note below_. The plug-in will alert you after you save your config if your data directory will not survive a reboot. If you don't want to reconfigure the apps everytime you reboot, you MUST choose a location on disk. It is also not a good idea to put these directories on your flash drive. By nature, these apps write a lot to the data directories which will greatly shorten the lifespan of your flash drive.

NOTE

In addition, if you are using a Basic version of unraid, there may be an issue with your data directory residing on the array. If you have the issue the array will get stuck "Starting...". If this happens you must telnet in and manually kill the apps from the running processes. You can ask on the support thread for help here. I am aware of the issue but cannot reproduce so I haven't been able to have a reliable fix for it. If you will PM me and test some changes, we will try to get this fixed!

Change the ports to whatever you want, defaults will work or another port if you prefer. Just nothing under port 1000 as these are reserved for system(root) use.

Runas User should be "nobody" and all other default options will be fine. Change "Enable" to Yes and click "Apply", it will automatically create the directories, install and start the apps.

Plus & Pro Instruction Only

Once this has been successful for your plug-ins:

Go to the "Shares" tab in the unRAID Webgui Click on the "apps" share Change the "Use Cache Disk" setting to "only" Click "Apply"

This will keep your app settings on the cache disk, otherwise the mover script would move them to the array automatically.

After this is done, you can access the apps at their respective ports and configure them however you like. You can setup the categories in sab and have it move the finished downloads to your movies or shows share automatically, just make sure to point to the share and not the disk, i.e., /mnt/user/Movies instead of /mnt/disk1/Movies
