[SNAP, LMDE 6] sabnzbd don't allow commandline parameters

[Mero]

I used all the time sabnzbd 3.7.1 provided by Synaptic Package Manager on LM Debian Edition 6.
With the last update & upgrade sabnzbd stopped working. Was still running, but after starting a download sabnzbd quits.
So I installed via apt the newest version, but the same issue. Running, but when starting a DL it just quits.

Now I installed SNAP-sabnzbd, that one is working.
But now I can't use my normal commandline parameters (My parameters)

After stopping the SNAP-sabnzbd-service I tried
1. snap run sabnzbd <parameters>
and
2. /snap/sabnzbd/6382/opt/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py <parameters>
but the parameters are not working. Running the 2. command the parameters are shown unter sabnzbd/config/parameters, but without effect.

so how can I make SNAP to use my parameters?

LMDE6 is based on debian bookworm, which had issues with a recent update of openssl/libssl3 from 3.0.16 to 3.0.17; see https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/issu ... 3153907759 for details. Should be fixed in bookworm by the new openssl/libssl3 update to 3.0.17-1~deb12u2.

(Noticed you already found a solution for the snap part in viewtopic.php?t=26666)

I think relevant is the new snap: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/pull ... 0arguments

Thanks for the Infos and Links @jcfp and @sander

I updated the system and 3.0.17-1~deb12u2 is installed. But if the snap-version is now accepting additional parameters I would stay with SNAP as it performs better on my LMDE6 running as VM on an old PC.

My SNAP-sabnzbd is also on newest version 4.5.3Beta2 and I read on Github #3126 "Command tweaked to allow extra arguments". My question now: How to add my extra parameters?

Thanks it works!!!

Code: Select all

mero@mintSDK:~$ snap stop sabnzbd
Stopped.
mero@mintSDK:~$ sudo snap run sabnzbd --logging -1 --clean --disable-file-log
<< Cursor in blinking mode >>

In SAB:

Config File: 		/var/snap/sabnzbd/common/sabnzbd.ini
Parameters: 		"/snap/sabnzbd/6389/opt/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py" "-f" "/var/snap/sabnzbd/common" "--logging" "-1" "--clean" "--disable-file-log"
Python Version: 	3.12.3 (main, May 26 2025, 18:50:19) [GCC 13.3.0] [UTF-8]

Is there a way to make it permanent to the service? Or have I to disable the service and run SAB from terminal?
