[Nzbget](http://nzbget.net/) is a usenet downloader, written in C++ and designed with performance in mind to achieve maximum download speed by using very little system resources.

## Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as `x86-64`, `arm64` and `armhf`. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/). 

Simply pulling `linuxserver/nzbget` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

| Architecture | Tag |
| :----: | --- |
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v7-latest |

## Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags. `latest` tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them.

| Tag | Description |
| :----: | --- |
| latest | Stable nzbget releases |
| testing | nzbget pre-releases |

## Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

### docker

```
docker create \
  --name=nzbget \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 6789:6789 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -v <path/to/downloads>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/nzbget
```


### docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

```yaml
---
version: "2"
services:
  nzbget:
    image: linuxserver/nzbget
    container_name: nzbget
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
      - <path/to/downloads>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 6789:6789
    restart: unless-stopped
```

## Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.

### Ports (`-p`)

| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `6789` | WebUI |


### Environment Variables (`-e`)

| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |

### Volume Mappings (`-v`)

| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | NZBGet App data. |
| `/downloads` | Location of downloads on disk. |



## User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:

```
  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
```

## Application Setup

Webui can be found at  `<your-ip>:6789` and the default login details (change ASAP) are

`login:nzbget, password:tegbzn6789`

To allow scheduling, from the webui set the time correction value in settings/logging.

To change umask settings.

scroll to bottom, set umask like this (example shown for unraid)

You can add an additional mount point for intermediate unpacking folder with:-

`-v </path/to/intermedia_unpacking_folder>:/intermediate`

for example, and changing the setting for InterDir in the PATHS tab of settings to `/intermediate`
