Jdusablon: Initial page setup for nzbget install under Alpine Linux 3.18

Initial page setup for nzbget install under Alpine Linux 3.18

New page

{{TOC right}}

= Introduction =

* This guide explains how to install the popular service [https://nzbget.net/ nzbget] on Alpine Linux. Specifically, the environment used is 3.18 running in an LXC container. This guide should still work in a standard Alpine Linux install.
* This guide sets up nzbget as a standard rc init service.
* The path {{path|/opt}} is used in this guide, however the choice of path is immaterial to the outcome, for example, {{path|/srv}} should work fine.
* This guide assumes all commands are run as root unless specified.

== Download and install nzbget ==

Fetch and install the latest nzbget install script. (If you have security concerns, nzbget code is available to inspect at [https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget github]).

<code>wget https://nzbget.net/download/nzbget-latest-bin-linux.run</code>

Run the install script.

<code>chmod +x nzbget-latest-bin-linux.run</code>
<code>./nzbget-latest-bin-linux.run</code>

Move the nzbget directory to {{path|/opt}}}

<code>mv nzbget /opt/</code>

= Create nzbget service=

Create the nzbget init file:

<code>vi /etc/init.d/nzbget</code>

With the following content:

<pre>
#!/sbin/openrc-run

depend() {
need net
}

start() {
/opt/nzbget/nzbget -D
}

stop() {
/opt/nzbget/nzbget -Q
}
</pre>

Notice that the commands <code>/opt/nzbget/nzbget -D</code> and <code>/opt/nzbget/nzbget -Q</code> are used to cleanly start and stop the service.

Add the service to rc init:

<code>rc-update add nzbget</code>

Start the service:

<code>rc-service nzb start</code>

== Notes ==

* At this point, you should be able to reach nzbget at '''http://<YOURIP>:6789'''. You should be able to start and stop the nzbget service and the service should start after a system restart/reboot:

<code>rc-service nzb start</code>
<code>rc-service nzb stop</code>

* Any further configs can be set using the webgui or in /opt/nzbget/nzbget.conf.
* Of note is the line

<code>DaemonUsername=root</code>

This allows the service to start and run as a specific user, which is a common setup if nzbget is used in conjunction with other media managers and shared storage. Note that any working directories specified in the settings will require their permissions updated to work correctly.
* nzbget is quite descriptive in its logs. Check nzbget's '''Messages''' section for errors, including permissions and paths.

== Updating nzbget ==

As of version 21.2, the certificate that ships with nzbget for updating from nzbget.net is expired and updates will consequently fail until it is updated. Fortunately, this can be rectified:

Stop the nzbget service:

<code>rc-service nzbget stop</code>

If you run the nzbget service under any other user than root, change this back to root temporarily for the update in {{{path|/opt/nzbget/nzbget.conf}}:

<code>DaemonUsername=root</code>

Fetch the new and valid certificate:

<code>curl --remote-name --time-cond cacert.pem https://nzbget.net/info/cacert.pem</code>

Move the new certificate to the correct path:

<code>mv cacert.pem /opt/nzbget/cacert.pem</code>

Start the nzbget service:

<code>rc-service nzbget start</code>

Navigate to your instance of nzbget, Settings, System, Update NZBGet:

[[File:2023-07-04 01-07.png|thumb|left|nzbget update screenshot]]
<br />

If required, stop the nzbget service again and revert the DaemonUsername to its normal value in {{path|/opt/nzbget/nzbget.conf}}:

<code>rc-service nzbget stop</code><br>
<code>DaemonUsername=root</code>

and start the service again:

<code>rc-service nzbget start</code>
