Command Line Upgrade

Post by Quagwa »

I am running Ubuntu 20 LTS without a GUI. I would like to upgrade SABnzbd 3.0.0-develop to the most recent 3.0.2. I am also fairly new to running the OS without a GUI and also Linux in general, but I am enjoying learning. I am looking for assistance in using the command line to update my installation.

Thanks,
Quagwa

After reading through the instructions found at https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... buntu-repo, I believe this would NOT be the instructions to follow when performing an upgrade from version "SABnzbd 3.0.0-develop" to version "3.0.2 [51cc765]".

After further research, this is the method I used.
1. sudo wget https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/rele ... src.tar.gz
2. shutdown my SABnzbd version "SABnzbd 3.0.0-develop"
3.used the mv command to rename current installation directory to a different name
4."unzip" downloaded file (this will create a folder with a bunch of files and sub-folders in it)
5.used the cp command to rename the "unzipped folder of SAB" to the original installation folder name of the previous version
6.restarted server and verified SAB is working. It is now at 3.0.2 [51cc765]

Now you will be stuck with 3.0.2 unless you do a manual upgrade.
The PPA method linked by Sander is specifically designed for Ubuntu and automatically keeps your system up to date with the latest stable release of SABnzbd and it's dependencies.
If you didn't specify a custom location for you sabnzbd.ini, the PPA method will also automatically pick up your sabnzbd.ini from the standard location.
