[GUIDE] Install SABnzbd 0.7.12

How to manually update from 0.7.11 to 0.7.12 if you followed the old guide

Also let’s fix the sabnzbd script while we’re at it so we can shut down the server from SSH

 

Let’s get our API Key and fix the sabnzbd script first

Login to the SABnzbd dashboard from a browser yourmybookliveip:8080

Click on Config and General and on the right side of the screen look for your API Key

Copy the key to your clipboard

Now let’s edit sabnzbd

nano /etc/init.d/sabnzbd

Look for the text that says ENTERAPIKEYHERE and delete just that text and right click to paste your API key

The line should look similar to this after you paste your API Key

/usr/bin/wget -q --delete-after "http://0.0.0.0:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown&apikey=a6ebdd7158c2d5eg9e0ac91ad3ad5114"

Hit control and o
Hit enter
Hit control and x
This will save the new file and close nano

Now we can stop the server from SSH by typing

/etc/init.d/sabnzbd stop
