How to install SABnzbd on FreeNAS v0.7.1

This tutorial is written for a clean install of Freenas full ( on install, I set the OS partition on 1GB to make sure it ‘d be enough for some package installing ).

[1.] Make sure you have the following set:
-SSH enabled (Services>SSH, root access checked)
-DNS server set (General>DNS settings) to your routers ip address
-Network>LAN Management>IPv4 Configuration>Type = STATIC
-Gateway set (Network>LAN) to your routers ip address
-Make sure WebServer is NOT running on port 8080 (we can change it later)

[2.] Connect to Freenas using SSH software. I use Putty, get it here.

[3.] Fill in your Freenas ip address and click open

[4.] Log in using root, password: [your freenas password, default: freenas]

[5.] type: pkg_add -r sabnzbdplusThis will install sabnzbd and required components, it might take a while depending on your internet connection. Just make sure you don’t see any messages containing “fail” and you’re ok.

[6.] type: pkg_add -r py25-yencThis will install python 2.5

[7.] type: pkg_add -r unzipThis will install the unzip package(note: unrar comes with the sabnzbdplus package)

[8.] type: rehash #
This will reload the hash table of your directories

[9.] type: pkg_info
Make sure your output looks like the following:

par2cmdline-0.4_1 Tools for using Parity v2 Archive files

py25-chardet-1.0.1 Character encoding auto-detection in Python

[10.] type: pkg

[11.] A little check of disk space by typing: df -h

[12.] Let’s see if it runs, type: SABnzbd.pyYou should get some output containing this: “28/Nov/2008:09:31:34 HTTP INFO Serving HTTP on http://localhost:8080/”

[13.] Now what we need to change is localhost to the ip your freenas is running on(192.168.1.250 for example).

[14.] type: CTRL+C on your keyboard(Windows) to end the sabnzbd process

type: cd .sabnzbd
type: nano .sabnzbd.ini
edit the line that says;
host = localhost change it > host = 192.168.1.12  ( your servers ip address )

[19.] type: SABnzbd.py and let sabnzbd run

[20.] Fire up your browser and check if you can access the webpage.
http://192.168.1.12:8080/sabnzbd  ( yours may be different )

Next, fill in your server settings, directories etc.

[21.] If you want an automatic startup and shutdown of sabnzbd, add the following
lines to your scripts(System>Advanced>Command scripts)

/usr/local/bin/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini (type: PostInit)

/usr/bin/fetch “http://192.168.1.250:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown” >/dev/null (type: Shutdown)

How to SSH into FreeNAS on a MAC

1. Open Terminal
2. type ssh root@192.168.0.20
3. enter your password

Voila console access to your FreeNAS box

Usefull commands:

mv = move
example: mv /mnt/data3/Movies3/* /mnt/data6/

cp = copy
cp /mnt/data3/Movies3/* /mnt/data6/

ls = list directory contents
example: ls /mnt/data/movies

cd = change directory
example: cd /mnt/data/files or cd /


df = Disk Filesystem
example: df -h 
output: shows the disk space in "human readable" form.

Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad6p1     902G    759G     71G    91%    /mnt/data1
/dev/ad7p1     902G    647G    183G    78%    /mnt/data2
/dev/ad8p1     902G    602G    228G    73%    /mnt/data3
/dev/ad9p1     902G    690G    140G    83%    /mnt/data4
/dev/ad10p1    1.8T     45G    1.6T     3%    /mnt/new
/dev/ad12p1     67G    7.5M     62G     0%    /mnt/data5

du = Disk Usage
example: du /mnt/data/images
output: lists all subdirectories to show how much disk space each has occupied.
..
example: du -h -s images
output: shows the disk usage of a directory (folder)
