linuxserver/sabnzbd

Sabnzbd makes Usenet as simple and streamlined as possible by automating everything we can. 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

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 and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/sabnzbd 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 SABnzbd releases
unstable	Beta/Stable SABnzbd releases at edge

Usage

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

docker

docker create \
  --name=sabnzbd \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -p 9090:9090 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -v <path to downloads>:/downloads \
  -v <path to incomplete downloads>:/incomplete-downloads `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/sabnzbd

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  sabnzbd:
    image: linuxserver/sabnzbd
    container_name: sabnzbd
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
      - <path to downloads>:/downloads
    volumes:
      - <path to incomplete downloads>:/incomplete-downloads #optional
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 9090:9090
    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
8080	HTTP port for the WebUI.
9090	HTTPS 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=Europe/London	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.

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.

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

Initial setup is done from the http port. Https access for sabnzbd needs to be enabled in either the intial setup wizard or in the configure settings of the webui, be sure to use 9090 as port for https. See here for info on some of the switch settings for sabnzbd https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/configuration/2.3/switches .

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running:
