SABnzbd is a binary newsreader.

It makes downloading from Usenet easy by automating the whole thing.

You give it an NZB file or an RSS feed, it does the rest.


Create the SABnzbd Directories

SABnzbd will store its configuration data in a directory on the Host VM.

On the Ubuntu VM Host, create a directory for this config data.

mkdir /home/peter/sabnzbd
mkdir /home/peter/sabnzbd/config
mkdir /home/peter/sabnzbd/downloads
mkdir /home/peter/sabnzbd/downloads-incomplete

NOTE: The downloads directory will be used by other services too, so not within the sabnzbd directory.


Determine the UID and GID

On the Ubuntu VM Host:

id peter

returns:

uid=1000(peter) gid=1000(peter) groups=1000(peter)...

NOTE: Take a note of the UID and GID numbers.

  • In this case 1000.

Install SABnzbd

In Portainer:


Confirm SABnzbd is running

Open Portainer.

Press F5 to refresh.

NOTE: This should show the SABnzbd container running.


Open SABnzbd

Visit http://192.168.1.30:8989 in a browser.

NOTE: The IP address is whatever the Ubuntu VM is using.

  • The 8080 port is the port configured for SABnzbd.
