Not sure if this is the right place to be asking.. but I have to start somewhere.
First, restrictions. My workplace only allows me to use default web ports, so I cannot type http:/www.sample.org:81 at all. I cannot use FTP from work.
I need to run a Linkstation on my network 24/7 for hosting a website and a few minor tasks. I can get the Linkstation to wake the PC, by using Perl Wake on LAN script (or I assume I can, not actually tried it yet).
I run SABnzbd on a PC - yes, could run on my Linkstation but it can't cope with the bandwidth and struggles to PAR check or unRAR 10gb+ files. The PC is set to go to S3 Standby after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Question is how to get SABnzbd controlled remotely when its web interface sits on the PC as I cannot FTP files into the SABnzbd "NZB blackhole". My IP address port 80 is set to forward to the Linkstation so that the website is reachable. Then I cannot reach the SABnzbd web interface as its not on the right machine.

Re: SABnzbd web interface remote access
Create the Blackhole on the NAS and share it, so it can be seen by the PC.
Run a script on the NAS to monitor the blackhole, when sees files it wakes up the PC.
Use port 443, that's normally used for https, so it's very likely that your company proxy will allow it.

Re: SABnzbd web interface remote access
Shy, thanks for such a speedy response
I can't do that as I cannot get files to the blackhole on the NAS from work but I can remotely execute a script from work via the port 80 website on the NAS which could/would wake the PC. Then as long as I can access the SABnzbd interface I can send files etc to the PC.
My work have URL blocking work by blocking all ports entered in an address so that....

Does that mean if my website is on http:www.madeupaddress.com, my NAS gets all port 80 forwarded traffic, my PC could be set to get all port 443 traffic and then
https://www.madeupaddress.com/sabnzbd/ would get me to the SABnzbd interface? Would the interface be able to receive NZBs and/or download them from Newzbin if it needed "https" to function?

Re: SABnzbd web interface remote access
SABnznd does not respond to https.
You would Apache on the PC as a front-end to SABnzbd and have Apache handle https.
In a later release (not 0.4.0) we will support https, but you will still have the inconvenience of an unofficial certificate.
What I have other people seen doing is use tunneling (over https).
They install CopSSH on the Home PC and use Putty on the work PC to make a tunnel.
Then use the work browser to address the tunnel (or use remote desktop).

But don't ask me for help with this

Re: SABnzbd web interface remote access
What is the webserver on your NAS? If it is apache you can try using the ModProxy option. See the apache configs on this page for an idea: http://tools.cherrypy.org/wiki/ModProxy or try and find it in the apache docs.

Re: SABnzbd web interface remote access
You guys are something!! It's so pleasant to have Devs who are so in touch and helpful to their users. My Linkstation does run Apache so it looks like ModProxy MIGHT be the answer. Have to admit I am confused by those links but I'll persevere!
If not as long as I can get some sort of web upload working I can always fall back onto the initial suggestion - script to check the NZB black hole and if there is anything there fire up the PC to download it.

Re: SABnzbd web interface remote access
Gave up on idea of using NAS to wake PC...
So I am back to running SAB on the NAS box (Linkstation Live) which is struggling to max my connection.. I can get around 1000k/s but no faster. It would be nice if there was another 10% of so speed to come with SAB optimisations but SAB has been so tweaked I doubt there is much more to come (or is there???)
Now my issue is hosting a website AND CherryPy SAB interface. If I could understand ModProxy for Lighttpd I would use that to pass thru the SAB interface requests. Another possibility I THINK is to use CherryPy to host my website. Is that something that could be done or does it need SAB to be re-written?
