SABnzbd Forums

SAB doesn't let me connect with the hostname sabnzbd from Radarr.

I get the error message:
Refused connection with hostname "sabnzbd" from: ::ffff:172.20.0.2 [Radarr/4.3.2.6857 (alpine 3.17.2)]

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks in advance!

I have been struggling with the same issue. I could not get permissions working on a Docker network running on a Debian host. I tried "localhost", 172.0.0.1 and the private addresses for the containers displayed by the "docker inspect <network name>".

Yesterday and today I have been experimenting with SABnzbd and Prowlarr installed in a Truenas jail. I played around with various combinations of localhost and local LAN addresses. I was able to prove that Prowlarr is in fact communicating with SAB by intentionally making the API key invalid. In that case SAB displays:

API key incorrect, Use the API key from Config->General in your 3rd party program: 10.11.12.50 [Prowlarr/1.0.0.2171 (freebsd 13.1-release-p4)]

and the Prowler side displays:

Unable to connect to indexer, check the log for more details

This is consistent with my results on Docker. The rest of the *arr suite is able to communicate between themselves on Docker and within the TrueNAS jail.

With the correct API the Prowlarr side , the SAB console is quiet. but the Prowlarr console still shows the same error.

Next I checked the logs. For the case of the incorrect API key the SAB log has entries like:

I have not been successful posting my log fragments because I keep getting the error "New users are not allowed to post links", although I have added no links to the log text.

The tail of the SAB log looks like:

I'm looking forward to learning what I am doing wrong!

P.S. - Setting up SABnzbd as a download client succeeds. It is only when I attempt to set it up as an indexer does the call fail. Thanks!

I get the error message:
Refused connection with hostname "sabnzbd" from: ::ffff:172.20.0.2 [Radarr/4.3.2.6857 (alpine 3.17.2)]

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks in advance!

What happens if you google 'Refused connection with hostname "sabnzbd" ' ?

Well... maybe that's because sabnzbd is a download client, and not an indexer?

Hi.

I tried your " google" suggestion. As is usually the case with Google, I got many, many pages of results. That's about it.

I assume that you are unfamiliar with my network schema. I have all devices that serve the infrastructure set to a fixed IP address that doesn't change. For example:

x.x.x.1 - Cable modem
x.x.x.2 - LAN bridge
x.x.x.3 - Wireless AP
x.x.x.4 - Pi-Hole

x.x.x.1x - Servers

x.x.x.3x - Home automation devices
x.x.x.30 - T520 Thin Client (Full Debian install)
x.x.x.32 - Headless Debian install

x.x.x.4x - Workstations
x.x.x.40 - My host
x.x.x.41 - My old computer I use for Handbrake and other stuff that ties up the CPU

x.x.x.5x - TrueNAS jails
x.x.x.50 - jail running Sonarr/Radarr/Bazarr etc.

I never use DHCP for anything that I need to access over the LAN. In my testing of SAB I use x.x.x.30 (full debian install) for the version on my T520 Thin Client, 127.0.0.1 for the address of the localhost on the T520, and 127.0.14.6 for the address of the container inside the internal Docker instance. I have also experiment with the SAB app installed on my computer, With Docker on my computer running SAB and the *arr apps, etc. I have tried Docker on my x.x.x.32 headless T520 client. I get the same errors every time.

This all used to work as apps on my host until recent updates tightened security. I was getting "indexer" errors after an update, the Google searching that problem lead to the idea that running the suite in Docker would solve the problem.

At least now I can say that I Googled 'Refused connection with hostname "sabnzbd. In short, I do not use hostnames.

Ok. I am somewhat new to SABnzbd. When I first installed it as an app on my host months ago, I started out by configuring it to point to all of my media directories. When I deleted it to start over I discovered that it had taken my 30+ year music collection and moved it into it's personal directory structure. I was not expecting to lose all of my music by partially configuring an app and setting it aside. It may come down to the fact that multiple sections have individual "save" buttons, but each save button saves everything on that page and some setting I had abandoned was in fact saved.

Back to the topic at hand: in Prowlarr there is only one public indexer for news feeds. None of the private ones appear to directly expose an API for a usenet server. The usenet provider I use (recommended by SABnzbd - News.newshosting.com ) does provide an app, but I have not found a means of using it as an indexer. My understanding is that SAB acts as a front-end for newshosting.com for managing download requests. Thus SAB has the purpose of acting like an indexer.

At least it used to work that way.

@utahwazoo you're mixing things up, including advice written towards @ROLLER

Ok, I figured out what you are saying. @ROLLER's issue was specific to the DHCP issue, while mine is a more specific problem involving use of the IP address. Sorry about that.

How do I proceed?

I would go to square 1 and learn about the basics of newsgroups. https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/faq/ is a good start.

I'm sure you mean well, but this doesn't address my original question about why SABnzbd is failing to authenticate with Prowlarr with an IP address. The OP apparently had a problem with trying to use DHCP.

Perhaps you could explain why Prowlarr offers up SABnzbd as an indexer if SABnzbd doesn't function as an indexer.

I can't. I've never seen or used Prowlarr. This is the SABnzbd forum, not Prowlarr.
