FreeNAS and SABNZBD/Sickbeard

[SevenOut]

Hello Everyone,

I have been working with freenas a couple weeks now. I can't seem to get SABNZBD to work with it. I have an older system that I have dedicated to this NAS. It has a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 v3 mobo, Dual Core 2.4 ghz, 8 gigs Ram, and 4 WD 3TB Reds. I have been able to get freenas (latest version 8.3.1) installed on a 8 gb flash drive and have built a raid Z1 which turns out to be around a 8 TB drive. I downloaded all the plug ins and created the jail, but for the life of me when I try to launch Sabnzbd I get a page not found message. I have followed this guide to the "t", and it makes sense as I go through it, but I just don't get the final result.

After working with this for a couple weeks with no success, I thought I would try WHS 2011 and see If I would have more success with it. But after installing that I found that there is no software raid support with it since they took out drive extender.

Has anyone had any success with getting Sabnzbd to run on your Freenas 8.3.1? I really hope to be able them to work together.

Thanks in advance, for any advice or direction you can provide!

I have Sab running fine on my box. I am running 8.3.0. You are trying to connect to your jail ip and not your server ip correct? I would log into the jail and run these command to make sure sab is running and listening for TCP traffic

Code:

Sab's user account is media and here you see that it is listening on port 8080

Hey Caesar! Thanks for the reply. I'm very happy to read you have it running on your box. I just need to figure this out. I'm not sure which ip I was connecting to. I am reinstalling freenas and will see if i can follow along with your example. I remember on the prior install I was trying to connect to sab like this... my ip was a number like this.. 192.168.1.100 and I was trying to see sab this way... 192.168.1.100:8080

I notice python in your code, is that automatically installed with freenas or something I need to install myself. I remember installing python on my windows based system before.

Thanks for the help!

 

[Caesar]

Python is already installed and the IP for you PluginJail is going to be different that the one for your Server. For example my server IP is 192.168.184.148. My jail IP is 192.168.184.100 so Sab is running on 192.168.184.100:8080

Also you only need to complete step 2 Install all plugins and start them the site should be available once the plugin is started.

Awesome Info! Thanks Caesar, I have to run to work right now, but I can't wait to get home tonight and try this out.

I really appreciate your help. Will post an update tonight.

 

[SevenOut]

Awesome! Thanks Caesar, just reinstalled my jail and plugins. Thanks for the tip to only complete step 2 in that guide. I now can see SABNZBD through my jail ip. So I can just create all the folders I need manually than right? Instead of going through that shell window? Going to start tinkering with it, and see if I can set it up the way i knew it working in windows. I can't tell you how happy I was when I typed in my jail ip:8080 and the SAB wizard started.

Thanks again!

Well, I started the wizard and quickly came to a halt. When I test my usenet server address I get an invalid address message. I'm going to do some research and see If I can find an answer as I'm wondering If I am even able to connect out into the web at this stage.

 

[SevenOut]

Hmm, strange, I have sab set up on my windows pc so I know that my usenet server is working fine. I'm using the exact same settings for the server on the freenas side, but i get a "invalid server address" message. I almost feel like I'm not connected to the internet as when i try to update headphones or sickbeard I can't connect to their servers. But I am connected to my router with the freenas system, and I'm able to move around the GUI from this PC fine so I must be connected right?

This is an excerpt log from my Sickbeard attempt at updating the program...

I do not think that your jail is setup correctly... checkout this video for installing the jail and make sure that you can ping google.com from inside the jail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4zIZX8pOas

 

[SevenOut]

ok, i will try that right now

 

[SevenOut]

Awesome! Thanks Caesar!

My gateway settings were wrong, that video put me right on track. I can now see my servers. Unfortunately I have to go to work now, but at least I think the hard part is done now. I just need to set up my folders and such later.

I'm very glad that I came back to freenas now, I appreciate your kindness in helping me work this out!

Update, I have SAB and Sickbeard working beautifully on my freenas now. Big Thanks again to Caesar for his help. Today I tackle Couch Potato, seems to be a little tricky at the moment.
