All you have to do is add an .nzb. SABnzbd takes over from there, where it will be automatically downloaded, verified, repaired, extracted and filed away with zero human interaction. ## Supported Architectures 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 `lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest` 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 | Available | Tag | | :----: | :----: | ---- | | x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-\ | | arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-\ | | armhf | ❌ | | ## Version Tags This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags. | Tag | Available | Description | | :----: | :----: |--- | | latest | ✅ | Stable SABnzbd releases | | unstable | ✅ | Pre-releases from the develop branch | | nightly | ✅ | Latest commits from the develop branch | ## Application Setup Initial setup is done via http://: ie, http://192.168.1.100:8080. See the [SABnzbd wiki](https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/) for more information. ### nzb-notify nzb-notify is included with this image as a convenience script. To use it set the Scripts folder in the Folder settings to /app/nzbnotify and then configure it under Notifications. See [nzb-notify](https://github.com/caronc/nzb-notify/) for more information. ### Download folders In Sabnzbd gui settings, under `Folders`, make sure to set the `Completed Download Folder` as `/downloads` and the `Temporary Download Folder` as `/incomplete-downloads` We have set `/incomplete-downloads` and `/downloads` as ***optional paths***, this is because it is the easiest way to get started. While easy to use, it has some drawbacks. Mainly losing the ability to hardlink (TL;DR a way for a file to exist in multiple places on the same file system while only consuming one file worth of space), or atomic move (TL;DR instant file moves, rather than copy+delete) files while processing content. Use the optional paths if you dont understand, or dont want hardlinks/atomic moves. The folks over at servarr.com wrote a good [write-up](https://wiki.servarr.com/docker-guide#consistent-and-well-planned-paths) on how to get started with this. ## Usage To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli. ### docker-compose (recommended, [click here for more info](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose)) ```yaml --- version: "2.1" services: sabnzbd: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest container_name: sabnzbd environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Etc/UTC volumes: - /path/to/data:/config - /path/to/downloads:/downloads #optional - /path/to/incomplete/downloads:/incomplete-downloads #optional ports: - 8080:8080 restart: unless-stopped ``` ### docker cli ([click here for more info](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/)) ```bash docker run -d \ --name=sabnzbd \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Etc/UTC \ -p 8080:8080 \ -v /path/to/data:/config \ -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads `#optional` \ -v /path/to/incomplete/downloads:/incomplete-downloads `#optional` \ --restart unless-stopped \ lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest ``` ## Parameters Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `:` 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 | | :----: | --- | | `8080` | HTTP port for the WebUI. | ### Environment Variables (`-e`) | Env | Function | | :----: | --- | | `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation | | `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation | | `TZ=Etc/UTC` | specify a timezone to use, see this [list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List). | ### Volume Mappings (`-v`) | Volume | Function | | :----: | --- | | `/config` | Local path for sabnzbd config files. | | `/downloads` | Local path for finished downloads. | | `/incomplete-downloads` | Local path for incomplete-downloads. | #### Miscellaneous Options | Parameter | Function | | :-----: | --- | ## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets) You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`. As an example: ```bash -e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword ``` Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file. ## Umask for running applications For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support. ## 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: ```bash $ id username uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup) ``` ## Docker Mods [![Docker Mods](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/yaml?color=94398d&labelColor=555555&logoColor=ffffff&style=for-the-badge&label=sabnzbd&query=%24.mods%5B%27sabnzbd%27%5D.mod_count&url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Flinuxserver%2Fdocker-mods%2Fmaster%2Fmod-list.yml)](https://mods.linuxserver.io/?mod=sabnzbd "view available mods for this container.")
