Systemd startup scripts for Sonarr and Nzbget

Can anyone help as to why these are happening?

Is what I’m getting now. I have managed to get Sonarr to work as a .service under systemd. I had forgotten to enable it via sudo systemctl enable sonarr. Any suggestions as to how to get NzbGet to run?

bit of a dead thread maybe, but in the unit section add

Type=forking

then sudo systemctl daemon-reload

eekfonky · 8 March 2016 19:50

OK got them both working, see below:

NZBGet;

[Unit]
Description=NZBGet Daemon
After=network.target
RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/ #or whatever your mountpoint is

[Service]
User=osmc
Group=osmc

ExecStop=/opt/nzbget/nzbget -Q

Sonarr;

[Unit]

After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
User=osmc

ExecStart=/usr/bin/mono /opt/NzbDrone/NzbDrone.exe --nobrowser

These both work well, tested today on RPi 2 & RPi3

Hey Everybody,
I’m fighting against NZBGet since 2 days… I reed every tuto, forum, i can’t find my mistake !

I installed successfully NZBGet but I completely lost with the autostart on my raspberry pi… I tried to add a Crontab, I tried the script from @eekfonky, I tried to add a script to etc/init.d/nzbget

Anyone have an idea to help me (or to put me on the right way !..)

Thanks a lot (out of home this week-end, so i’ll read the answer, but i’ll try it until monday )

eekfonky · 25 March 2016 06:42

As OSMC is running on Debian Jessie you’re best using the systemd folder. Put the script from above in /etc/systemd/system and name it nzbget.service. (Be carefule of the RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/ part as it’s important to use your own mount point). Now enable it with sudo systemctl enable nzbget and start it with sudo systemctl start nzbget.

You can check it’s running with sudo systemctl status nzbget if it’s not post the result here:

Hi, I’m having issues with my nzbget install…

I did a clean install of osmc and then wanted to have nzbget and sonarr to run on boot.
I installed nzbget using:
http://www.htpcguides.com/install-latest-nzbget-on-raspberry-pi-2-and-b-raspbian/

then created the systemd nzbget.service with

`[Unit]
Description=NZBGet Daemon
After=network.target
RequiresMountsFor=/media/INTENSO

[Service]
User=osmc
Group=osmc
Type=forking
ExecStart=/opt/nzbget/nzbget -c /opt/nzbget/nzbget.conf -D
ExecStop=/opt/nzbget/nzbget -Q
ExecReload=/opt/nzbget/nzbget -O
KillMode=process
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target`

as long as I do not reboot, nzbget works, but when I reboot, I’m getting permission issues:

`osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl status nzbget

`
it seems to be a write permission on my drive…but I’m clueless how to fix it.

any ideas?
thanks!

eekfonky · 27 July 2016 07:02

Have you mounted the drive in the fstab? That’s how I deal with it. If not you may need to make the service wait until the drive mounts. After the [Unit] section add in this;

[Timer]
OnBootSec=20

sambucca · 27 July 2016 08:27

thanks for that!
I edited my nzbget.service and rebooted, still no joy.
I wonder if something got messed up now and I need to do a full reinstall of osmc.

I didn’t mount the drive in fstab, since osmc mounts the drive…
how can I mount the drive in fstab? do I need to deactivate osmc´s auto mounting function?

update: I found this for fstab editing:
~/dev/sdax /media/user/label type options 0 0

I’m unsure which type to use… fdisk -l shows:Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 2048 3907024064 3907022017 1.8T 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

so what type do I use?

sambucca · 27 July 2016 08:46

sorry…
previous reply obviously referred to the timer line.

when starting the service after reboot manually, it tells me this:

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl enable nzbget
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl start nzbget
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl status nzbget

nzbget.service - NZBGet Daemon

Jul 27 10:42:06 osmc nzbget[646]: Unable to send request to nzbget-server at 127.0.0.1 (port 6789)

does this help?

i’ll still try to mount in fstab, my best guess is that that might help.

just a quick question on the side. I moved most nzbget directories to the external disk in the nzbget settings (when it was still working at initial install)
are there folders which I need to keep on the osmc sd-card?

eekfonky · 27 July 2016 09:14

OK, take out the;
[Timer]
OnBootSec=20

save and exit the file.

Please send the output of;
df -h

This will tell me what is mounted and where…lets’ not reinstall just yet! lol

sambucca · 27 July 2016 10:20

too late…already reinstalled.

I first changed the mount point from /media/INTENSO to /mnt/INTENSO.
rebooted, works…
then installed nzbget, reassigned folder paths in nzbget to the external drive, restarted nzbget, worked.
then I made and ran the system file…nzbget shut down, can’t start it anymore…
this is what it said:

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl enable nzbget
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nzbget.service to /etc/systemd/system/nzbget.service.
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl start nzbget

by the way: df -h showed me this (nothing out of the ordinary I think)

osmc@osmc:~$ df -h

eekfonky · 27 July 2016 10:33

So it’s all working now then?

sambucca · 27 July 2016 11:10

No. The mount worked, nzbget starts, but as soon as I start the nzbget.service, nzbget stops and cannot be restarted. Process still shows as inactive(dead).

Any ideas?

eekfonky · 27 July 2016 12:05

What file system is the External HD? ext4, ntfs, etc…?
Does your nzbget.service look like this?

this is my /etc/systemd/system/nzbget.service

Is nzbget installed in the /opt/ directory?

Try this wee guide I wrote

https://sliceopie.wikispaces.com/OSMC

sambucca · 27 July 2016 13:25

yes, I installed it in /opt/…

I did notice that I left out the following:

sed -i “/DaemonUsername=/c\DaemonUsername=osmc” /opt/nzbget/nzbget.conf

entering that line afterwards didn’t solve anything…i’ll start over once more…

great guide though! everything in one spot! Thanks!!

eekfonky · 27 July 2016 13:45

when you do an ls -la /mnt/INTENSO
what do you get? Maybe a permission issue?
