DEPRECATION NOTICE¶

This image is deprecated. We will not offer support for this image and it will not be updated. nzbget has been deprecated by its developers. Please consider switching to SABnzbd https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-sabnzbd

linuxserver/nzbget¶

Nzbget is a usenet downloader, written in C++ and designed with performance in mind to achieve maximum download speed by using very little system resources.

Supported Architectures¶

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/nzbget:latest 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:

Version Tags¶

This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags.

Application Setup¶

Webui can be found at <your-ip>:6789 and the default login details (change ASAP) are

login:nzbget, password:tegbzn6789

To allow scheduling, from the webui set the time correction value in settings/logging.

To change umask settings.

scroll to bottom, set umask like this (example shown for unraid)

You can add an additional mount point for intermediate unpacking folder with:-

-v </path/to/intermedia_unpacking_folder>:/intermediate

for example, and changing the setting for InterDir in the PATHS tab of settings to /intermediate

Media folders¶

We have set /downloads as a optional path, this is because it is the easiest way to get started. While easy to use, it has some drawbacks. Mainly losing the ability to atomic move (TL;DR instant file moves, rather than copy+delete) files while processing content.

Use the optional paths if you dont understand, or dont want hardlinks/atomic moves.

The folks over at servarr.com wrote a good write-up on how to get started with this.

Usage¶

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)¶

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  nzbget:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/nzbget:latest
    container_name: nzbget
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - NZBGET_USER=nzbget #optional
      - NZBGET_PASS=tegbzn6789 #optional
    volumes:
      - /path/to/data:/config
      - /path/to/downloads:/downloads #optional
    ports:
      - 6789:6789
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)¶

docker run -d \
  --name=nzbget \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e NZBGET_USER=nzbget `#optional` \
  -e NZBGET_PASS=tegbzn6789 `#optional` \
  -p 6789:6789 \
  -v /path/to/data:/config \
  -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/nzbget:latest

Parameters¶

Docker 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.

Ports (-p)¶

Environment Variables (-e)¶

Volume Mappings (-v)¶

Miscellaneous Options¶

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)¶

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications¶

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

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=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Docker Mods¶

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info¶

• Shell access whilst the container is running:
• docker exec -it nzbget /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
• docker logs -f nzbget
• Container version number
• docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' nzbget
• Image version number
• docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/nzbget:latest
