Readme

nzbget

NZBGet — a fast, resource-efficient Usenet (NZB) downloader with a clean web UI. Low CPU and memory use makes it a great download client for the *arr stack or standalone Usenet grabbing.

Single host-networked Nomad service with config and downloads volumes.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run nzbget --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`6789`	Web UI port.
`username`	`nzbget`	Web UI username (`NZBGET_USER`).
`password`	`tegbzn6789`	Change this. Web UI password (`NZBGET_PASS`).
`image`	`lscr.io/linuxserver/nzbget:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`data_volume`	`nzbget_data`	`/config` — settings.
`downloads_volume`	`nzbget_downloads`	`/downloads` — your downloads.
`puid` / `pgid`	`1000` / `1000`	User/group that owns the files (`PUID`/`PGID`).
`tz`	`UTC`	Container timezone (`TZ`).
`resources`	`{ cpu = 300, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

Add your Usenet provider and indexers in the UI. Pairs with prowlarr and the *arr apps — share the /downloads path so they can import. Change the default password, and pin the job to the node holding the volumes with constraints.
