Everything downloads properly and Sonarr can see the file is downloaded however it cannot move the file. I hope this makes sense, I struggled with this concept at first when I set my unraid rig up as well. Hello everyone, I am having a ton of trouble getting SABNZBD working correctly with sonarr. This way when SAB says “hey this file just finished downloading, and it lives in /data/complete”, Sonarr or Radarr will understand that (because they both have /data mapped to the same folder) and then move them to wherever you have those apps set up to move them to.ĪFAIK you can also set this up within Sonarr/Radarr by using remote path mappings, but I’ve never dealt with that because this setup works fine and never gives me any issues.

1 First time writing something up like this so forgive how poorly written and organized.

My Sonarr/Radarr dockers also have /data mapped to /mnt/user/downloads/ How to install SABnzbd in iocage jail and change permission to write to Freenas Pool owned by other user.

If you needed to modify ExecStart, you need to clear it by having just that empty line and then on the next line repeat it, but w/ the command you want.This is the right way to override a package.

so within SAB, my download folders are /data/incomplete and /data/complete jdart: EZPZ, just systemctl edit sabnzbd and override the User and Group as needed. My SAB docker has /data mapped to /mnt/user/downloads/. Your problem is that most likely Sonarr/Radarr can’t see where the SAB downloads folder actually is because you don’t have your dockers set up correctly. OP, you can have everything from SAB download into your SAB complete folder with no labels and then let Sonarr/Radarr find it in there and move it to where it needs to go. People are suggesting to use labels and have SAB do the sorting but I feel like that defeats the purpose of having Sonarr/Radarr do that for you. Now that this is setup Sonarr and Radarr will begin sending jobs to the client via API calls.This is most likely what’s going on. Since we are using a SABnzbd Docker container our folder structure a slightly different from those running SABnzbd on their PC. In this section download priority can also be set allowing downloads to take priority over other downloads that may be less important.

The folders need to be made manually, as Sabnzbd will not make them. This step is optional, but if categories are set they also need setup within the download section of Sonarr and Radarr. This will ensure all of your downloads will be nicely organized into Sabnzbd’s /complete folder. Next navigate to the Categories tab and set your various categories.

The Add Server box includes everything you need to get up and running. Yes, would be a good idea to add to the tutorial. To do this, click the cog icon in the upper right corner to open up the settings. Now that the SABnzbd setup is complete, we need to change the download path as well as get the API key so that it can talk to Sonarr and Radarr. There are several out there and you should choose the one that is right for you. Next put in the details from your Usenet provider. Choose your language and click Start-Wizard Once SABnzbd is running it will stay open in the background and can be opened using your favorite internet browser and navigating to The first time SAB is started you will be met with a very simple setup wizard. We use the Docker version on our Linux server and you can read about how to install that here. From here you will see the 2 default directories that need to be changed. Go to Settings In the top right corner of the menu at the top of the initial login page. First download the copy that you would like to use and install it as you would any normal program. Access and log in to your SABbzbd instance using the credentials you have set in the application. Newsbins are similar to torrents but are far superior. SABnzbd is a program available for Windows, OSX, and Linux that is used for downloading newsbins.
