sabnzbd on Raspberry Pi5 (headless) [flatpak]

[Oceanwaves]

Hello,

I would like to install sabnzbd on my Pi5. It is running Debian Bookworm with no graphical interface (no Gnome, KDE, etc.).

I tried to install it using flatpak. It's running fine, but I cannot access it from my PC using a browser.

I tried

Code: Select all

flatpak override --system --share=network org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd

but this didn't help.

sabnzbd is started using

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/flatpak run org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd -f -s

On the Pi5 I can connect to sabnzbd:

Code: Select all

curl http://localhost:8080
This resource can be found at <a href="/wizard/">/wizard/</a>.

But using a browser I can't connect to <ip of pi5>:8080.

Is there a way to use sabnzbd with flatpak? As I understand a native installation is not recommended. It will install sabnzbd 4.5.0 at the moment, not 4.5.5.

/usr/bin/flatpak run org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd -f -s

That's incomplete

Try this:

/usr/bin/flatpak run org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd -s 0.0.0.0

Try this:

/usr/bin/flatpak run org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd -s 0.0.0.0

That leads to an error:

Code: Select all

Using

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/flatpak run org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd -f -s 0.0.0.0

sabnzbd starts fine, but is still inaccessible from my browser

On pi5 port 8080 is listening:

Code: Select all

# netstat -antop|grep 8080

sabnzbd.service looks like this:

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=SABnzbd headless server

[Service]

That lonely -f argument doesn’t look right. Try removing it from your command.

As I wrote: without the "-f" (ExecStart=/usr/bin/flatpak run org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd -s 0.0.0.0) I get an error when trying to start sabnzbd:

Code: Select all

It's working now! Guess "-f" specifies the ini file sabnzbd uses. Created a base ini file in /etc and specified the path in the service file:

Code: Select all

ExecStart=/usr/bin/flatpak run org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd -f /etc/sabnzbd.ini -s 0.0.0.0

/etc/sabnzbd.ini just contains

Code: Select all

[general]
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 8080

[misc]
host_whitelist = *

Now I can access sabnzbd through browser from pc.
