PSA: Changes are happening
From August 2018 onwards, Linuxserver are in the midst of switching to a new CI platform which will enable us to build and release multiple architectures under a single repo. To this end, existing images for arm64 and armhf builds are being deprecated. They are replaced by a manifest file in each container which automatically pulls the correct image for your architecture. You'll also be able to pull based on a specific architecture tag.
TLDR: Multi-arch support is changing from multiple repos to one repo per container image.
linuxserver/sabnzbd
Sabnzbd makes Usenet as simple and streamlined as possible by automating everything we can. All you have to do is add an .nzb. SABnzbd takes over from there, where it will be automatically downloaded, verified, repaired, extracted and filed away with zero human interaction.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/sabnzbd should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Tag |
|---|---|
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v6-latest |
Version Tags
This image provides various versions that are available via tags. latest tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them.
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| latest | Stable SABnzbd releases |
| unstable | Beta/Stable SABnzbd releases at edge |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker
docker create \
--name=sabnzbd \
-e PUID=1001 \
-e PGID=1001 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 8080:8080 \
-p 9090:9090 \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-v <path to downloads>:/downloads \
-v <path to incomplete downloads>:/incomplete-downloads `#optional` \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/sabnzbd
docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---
version: "2"
services:
sabnzbd:
image: linuxserver/sabnzbd
container_name: sabnzbd
environment:
- PUID=1001
- PGID=1001
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- <path to data>:/config
- <path to downloads>:/downloads
- <path to incomplete downloads>:/incomplete-downloads #optional
ports:
- 8080:8080
- 9090:9090
mem_limit: 4096m
restart: unless-stopped
Parameters
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
-p 8080 |
HTTP port for the WebUI. |
-p 9090 |
HTTPS port for the WebUI. |
-e PUID=1001 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1001 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
-v /config |
Local path for sabnzbd config files. |
-v /downloads |
Local path for finished downloads. |
-v /incomplete-downloads |
Local path for incomplete-downloads. |
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
Application Setup
Initial setup is done from the http port. Https access for sabnzbd needs to be enabled in either the intial setup wizard or in the configure settings of the webui, be sure to use 9090 as port for https. See here for info on some of the switch settings for sabnzbd http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-switches
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it sabnzbd /bin/bash - To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f sabnzbd - container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' sabnzbd
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/sabnzbd
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Run/Create
- Update the image:
docker pull linuxserver/sabnzbd - Stop the running container:
docker stop sabnzbd - Delete the container:
docker rm sabnzbd - Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) - Start the new container:
docker start sabnzbd - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Compose
- Update the image:
docker-compose pull linuxserver/sabnzbd - Let compose update containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
