sabnzbd v0.1.0

Media

SABnzbd — a powerful, fully-automated Usenet (NZB) download client with a web UI: queue management, post-processing, categories, and an API the *arr apps use. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with config and downloads volumes.

nomad-pack run sabnzbd --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- sabnzbd

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Readme

sabnzbd

SABnzbd — a powerful, fully-automated Usenet (NZB) download client with a web UI: queue management, automatic par2 repair and unpacking, categories, scheduling, and an API the *arr apps use. The Usenet counterpart to the qbittorrent (torrent) pack.

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 sabnzbd --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`8080`	Web UI port. The container listens on 8080.
`config_volume`	`sabnzbd_config`	`/config` — settings and history.
`data_volume`	`media_data`	`/data` — downloads. Share with the arr packs.*
`puid` / `pgid`	`1000` / `1000`	User/group (`PUID`/`PGID`).
`tz`	`UTC`	Container timezone (`TZ`).
`image`	`lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 1000, memory = 512 }`	Task resources. Repair/unpack are CPU-bound.

Run the setup wizard, add your Usenet provider, and set download folders under /data. Connect it as the download client in sonarr / radarr / lidarr, sharing the same /data volume for hardlinks.

If you access SABnzbd by a hostname and get an "Access denied / refused" page, add that hostname to host_whitelist in /config/sabnzbd.ini. Serves plain HTTP — front it with a reverse proxy for TLS.
