Service Configuration: Sabnzbd

download stack Sabnzbd

Sabnzbd is used to download from Usenet. You'll need Usenet account(s).

  • On your host, run chmod -R 755 shared/separate/
  • Connect to the Web UI on port 8080.
  • Follow the quick-start wizard
  • Click the cog at the top right

In the General tab

  • Note down your API Key

In the Folders tab

Setting Name Value
Temporary Download Folder /shared/merged/downloads/sabnzbd/incomplete
Minimum Free Space for Temporary Download Folder A reasonable number, I chose 300GB on a 2TB disk
Completed Download Folder /shared/merged/downloads/sabnzbd/default/ (We'll be overriding this with categories later)
Permissions for completed downloads 777

In the Categories tab Copy the below table:

Category Priority Processing Script Folder/Path Indexer Categories/Groups
Default Normal +Delete sabnzbd_post_process_clear_rclone_vfs_cache.sh
sonarr Default Default ../sonarr
headphones Default Default ../headphones
radarr Default Default ../radarr
lazylibrarian Default Default ../lazylibrarian
medusa Default Default ../medusa
mylar Default Default ../mylar

The script in the Default category is extremely important. It forces Rclone to update its VFS cache when a download finishes, which allows the clients (Radarr, Sonarr etc.) to actually see the completed download. If you don't have this, auto processing won't work!
