Network PVR SABnzbd Servers Sick-Beard Sick-Beard: A PVR Relying on SABnzbd
Introduction This tool relies on SABnzbd and allows for easy management of TV series episodes.
Installation To install it, we need the following package:
aptitude install python-cheetah
Then we install Sick-Beard:
cd /tmp
wget -O sickbeard.tgz "https://nodeload.github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard/tarball/master"
tar -xzf sickbeard.tgz -C /usr/share/
mv /usr/share/midgetspy-Sick-Beard-* /usr/share/sick-beard
chown -Rf www-data. /usr/share/sick-beard/
And set up the init file:
cp /usr/share/sick-beard/init.ubuntu /etc/init.d/sickbeard
update-rc.d sickbeard defaults
Configuration We'll use a configuration file for default values:
# SickBeard configuration
SB_USER = www-data
SB_HOME = /usr/share/sick-beard
SB_DATA = /usr/share/sick-beard
SB_OPTS = /usr/share/sick-beard/config.ini
You can then start the service:
> /etc/init.d/sickbeard start
Removing stale /var/run/sickbeard/sickbeard.pid
Starting SickBeard
Apache Redirection You might want to have a simple URL for using this service, so let's create our configuration (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
):
<VirtualHost *:80 >
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory / >
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/ >
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin" >
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

</Directory>
# Sabnzb

order deny,allow

allow from all
ProxyPass http://server:8080/sabnzbd
ProxyPassReverse http://server:8080/sabnzbd
</Location>
# Sickbeard
<Location /sickbeard/ >
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
ProxyPass http://server:8081/sickbeard/
ProxyPassReverse http://server:8081/sickbeard/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Next, stop Sickbeard if it's still running:
/etc/init.d/sickbeard stop
Then edit the configuration file to modify the web-root like this (/usr/share/sick-beard/config.ini
):
[ ...]
web_root = "/sickbeard"
[ ...]
Finally, start Sickbeard and reload Apache:
/etc/init.d/sickbeard start
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Usage All you have to do now is type the URL: http://server/sickbeard/ and configure the software through the interface. It's quite simple, so I won't go into details.
