= Installation = [[ https://github.com/SickGear/SickGear/wiki/Installation-Instructions | Official installation instructions are available ]]; here are some more specific ones slimmed down and slightly embellished. These largely follow the [[ https://github.com/SickGear/SickGear/wiki/Install-SickGear-%5B3%5D-Ubuntu#install | manual Ubuntu installation ]] approach. == Basic Installation == # To get the dependencies: `sudo apt update && sudo apt install python-cheetah python-regex unrar-free git` # Now clone the git repo: `sudo git clone https://github.com/SickGear/SickGear.git /opt/sickgear` # Give yourself ownership: `sudo chown -R yourusername /opt/sickgear` # Start your initial run with: `/opt/sickgear/sickgear.py` ## First up, we're gonna be running this as a service, so we //don't// want it to launch the browser when it starts. {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=cog, name=General > Misc} and uncheck the {nav open the SickGear home page on startup} option at the top. You can always get back to it with your browser at https://localhost:8081 (or whatever you choose as the port, I just used the default). ## A bit further down, you'll probably want to set a root directory for shows. ## {nav Save Changes} ## Under {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=cog, name=General > Interface > Web Interface}, set a username and password (this application is acting as your user, keep it safe!). Hit the {nav Save Changes} button at the bottom of this section, too, and you should be dumped out to a login screen where you can now log in with your freshly set credentials. ## By default SickGear renames files. If you're using good sources, this might be annoying! This can be disabled under {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=folder, name=Post Processing > File Handling}. If you leave this enabled, make sure to check out the pattern set in {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=folder, name=Post Processing > Episode Naming} and change it if you have a different preference (click the {icon list-alt} button to show the naming legend). == Existing Media == The easy way is just to use {nav Settings > Import}. If you want to rename or restructure an existing download, # If the folder already exists in the intended destination folder, rename the existing folder (ex. add an underscore) # {nav Manage > icon=folderD'oh, name=Process Media}I though it was hard, and give it the folder to process and tell it to use Move (or Copy if you're feeling timid and want to make sure it works before removing the originals). ---- = Integrations = == Integration with Transmission == # Transmission's UI is terrible, so if you're like me you'll just install and configure the daemon. (Skip this of course if you already have Transmission installed and configured.) ## `sudo apt install transmission-daemon` ## `sudo service transmission-daemon stop` ## `sudo nano /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json` and set at least: ### `"rpc-password"` to your plaintext password (it will be hashed upon the daemon restart) ### `"download-dir"` to a directory where all your downloaded TV episodes go once complete but unsorted (must be writeable by Transmission) ### `"incomplete-dir"` to a temp directory to keep incomplete downloads (must be writeable by Transmission) ### `"incomplete-dir-enabled"` set to `true` ### `"script-torrent-done-enabled"` set to `true` ### `"script-torrent-done-filename"` set to `"/opt/sickgear/autoProcessTV/onTxComplete.sh"` # Make a config file: ## From the CLI, `cd /opt/sickgear/autoProcessTV/ && cp onTxComplete.sample.cfg onTxComplete.cfg` and then `nano onTxComplete.cfg`, or open the sample file up from your text editor of choice and save it as `onTxComplete.cfg` ## Comment out the Windows param1 line by adding a `;` at the start ## Set param1 to the path you used for `"download-dir"` for Transmission # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=search, name=Search > Torrent Results} and checkmark {nav enable torrent media providers}, then fill in your Transmission settings, {nav Test Connection}, and {nav Save Changes}. # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Options > icon=book, name=Media Providers > Priorities}, enable your preferred trackers/indexes and order them, {nav Save Changes}, and then go over to the {nav Options } tab to configure them (for each provider you will need to enable options under {nav Options > Perform search tasks} if you want them to actually be used at all). # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=folder, name=Post Processing} and set ## the {nav Completed TV downloads} folder to the `download-dir` specified for Transmission above ## Checkmark {nav Scan and post process} ## Make sure {nav Postpone post processing} is checked == Integration with SABnzbd == === SABnzbd to SickGear === # `cd /opt/sickgear/autoProcessTV/ && cp autoProcessTV.cfg.sample autoProcessTV.cfg` # `nano autoProcessTV.cfg` (or your text editor of choice) and change at least the username and password to match your SickBeard setup as above. # In the SABnzbd web interface, go to {nav Config > Folders} and set {nav Scripts Folder} to `/opt/sickgear/autoProcessTV/`, and {nav Save Changes}. # Still in SABnzbd, {nav Config > Categories} and add a TV category with the Script set to `sabToSickBeard.py`. # Leave that window open (don't save changes yet) and now back in SickGear, {nav icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=folder, name=Post Processing}, ## Change {nav Post-Processing > Process episode method} to {nav Move} ## Toggle on {nav Failed Downloads > failed download handling} ## Checkmark {nav delete left over files from a failed download} which should now have appeared. ## Over in SABnzbd, we need to set some stuff so that this orchestration is handled right ### {nav Config > Switches} and at the top checkmark {nav Advanced Settings}. ### {nav Config > Switches > Queue} and disable {nav Abort jobs that cannot be completed}, and {nav Save Changes}. ### {nav Config > Switches > Post processing} and disable {nav Post-Process Only Verified Jobs}, and {nav Save Changes}. ### {nav Config > Special > Switches} and enable {nav empty_postproc}, then {nav Save Changes} # Now finally save changes in SickGear's {nav Post Processing > Failed Downloads} config section. === SickGear to SABnzbd === # Get your API key from {nav SABnzbd > Config > General > Security } # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Settings > icon=search, name=NZB Results} and ## Enable {nav Search NZBs}, then ## Set {Send .nzb files to} to {nav SABnzbd} ## Set your server URL ## Paste in your API key ## The category should be "tv" by default, but change this if you used something else above ## {nav Test SABnzbd} and {nav Save Changes} if all is well. # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Options > icon=book, name=Media Providers > Priorities}, enable your NZB service and {nav Save Settings}. # {nav SickGear > icon=cogs, name=Options > icon=book, name=Media Providers > Options}, set your credentials for your NZB provider, and {nav Save Settings}.
