Installation

NZBGet

1. Connect to your slot via SSH

2. Download NZBGet

    wget -O - http://nzbget.net/info/nzbget-version-linux.json | sed -n "s/^.*testing-download.*: \"\(.*\)\".*/\1/p" | wget --no-check-certificate -i - -O nzbget-latest-bin-linux.run
   

3. Install NZBGet

    sh nzbget-latest-bin-linux.run
   

   Note: By default NZBGet is installed into directory nzbget/ in the current directory. You can specify another directory using parameter --destdir.

    sh nzbget-latest-bin-linux.run --destdir /path/to/install/nzbget
   

4. Change the ports NZBGet uses by editing ~/nzbget/nzbget.conf

    nano ~/nzbget/nzbget.conf
   

   Press Ctrl+W, enter ControlPort, press Enter

   Change 6789 to 26731

   Press Ctrl+W, enter SecurePort, press Enter

   Change 6791 to 13365

   Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter

5. Fix NZBGet's certificates by running the following command.

    sed '/^DST Root CA X3$/,/^-----END CERTIFICATE-----$/d;' -i ~/nzbget/cacert.pem
   

6. Run in background as daemon (service). When starting NZBGet use command -D.

    ~/nzbget/nzbget -D
   

7. (Optional) Clean up the installation archive.

    rm nzbget*.run
   

8. Access http://server.whatbox.ca:26731 and change these settings:

   Log in with username: nzbget and password: tegbzn6789

   Go to Settings -> Security

   Set a secure username and password. You will need to use this new username and password to log in to NZBGet.

   Unset the AuthorizedIP setting - it should be blank.

Enable autostart on server reboot

1. Connect to your slot via SSH

2. Add Nzbget to your crontab

    crontab -e
   

   Add @reboot ~/nzbget/nzbget -D to the end of document.

3. Save and close Crontab

   Press Ctrl+o, then Press Ctrl+x

4. Verify your changes where made

    crontab -l
   

   the output will list all of your cron jobs. You should see the new line you just made.

Enable SSL (optional)

To do this, you will be creating a self-signed certificate, so note that your web browser might say that the connection is untrusted.

1. SSH into your slot.
2. Create the self-signed certificate. openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out ~/nzbget/nzbget.cert -keyout ~/nzbget/nzbget.key -days 365
3. Stop all running NZBGet processes. pkill -f nzbget
4. Open NZBGet's configuration file in a text editor. nano ~/nzbget/nzbget.conf
5. Change the following lines:
   SecureControl=no to SecureControl=yes
SecureCert= to SecureCert=/home/user/nzbget/nzbget.cert
SecureKey= to SecureKey=/home/user/nzbget/nzbget.key
6. Save the configuration file. Ctrl+x if you used the nano text editor like above.
7. Start the NZBGet processes again with ~/nzbget/nzbget -D

Access the secured web interface at https://server.whatbox.ca:13365

Usage with box.ca

If you are using NZBGet with a custom box.ca subdomain, make sure 'AuthorizedIP' is set to blank on the Security page to make sure authentication is used.
