Do NOT attempt this guide if your MyCloud has v4 firwmware as it will result in a bricked unit
I put together a nice clean and simple guide for anybody looking to install NZBGet 11.0 for usenet downloading
The performance of NZBGet far outperforms that of SABnzb
Tools needed: PuTTY (Windows) or Terminal (MAC)
SSH enabed
Username: root
Password: welc0me
This type of modification is done at your own risk and will void the warranty of the drive
Update 11-9-2013 The startup issue was resolved. The MainDir has to be specified in NZBGet and saved before the startup script will work properly
Backup your sources.list file
cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
Add a source to the sources.list
echo deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Add another source
echo deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Update your package lists
apt-get update
Install the required programs…Type y when asked if you would like to proceed with the installation and hit enter
apt-get install nzbget par2 unrar
Copy the config template to /etc
cp /usr/share/nzbget/nzbget.conf /etc/nzbget.conf
Replace ControlIP=127.0.0.1 with 0.0.0.0 so you can access the GUI from your computer
sed -i 's/ControlIP=127.0.0.1/ControlIP=0.0.0.0/g' /etc/nzbget.conf
Now let’s create a startup script
nano /etc/init.d/nzbget
When the blank window opens, copy the text in the box below and right click inside your Putty window to paste the script
#!/bin/sh
# Start/stop the NZBget daemon.
#
case "$1" in
start) echo -n "Start services: NZBget"
/usr/bin/nzbget -D
;;
stop) echo -n "Stop services: NZBget"
/usr/bin/nzbget -Q
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*) echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
To save the file
Hit Control and o
Hit enter
Hit Control and x
Now let’s change the scripts permissions
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/nzbget
Add the script to startup
update-rc.d nzbget defaults
Now let’s start NZBGet
/etc/init.d/nzbget start
And finally let’s revert the changes made to sources list
mv -f /etc/apt/sources.list.bak /etc/apt/sources.list
To login to the NZBGet GUI
Your mycloud ip or network name :6789
Username: nzbget
Password: tegbzn6789
Some basic setting changes
Settings → Permissions → UMASK 000
Settings → Paths → MainDir → /DataVolume/shares/Public or any other share on your drive
It’s very important that you change the MainDir or NZBGet will NOT automatically start on a reboot
Settings → Unpack → UnrarCmd → /usr/bin/unrar
The rest you should be able to figure out on your own
Remember to save all settings and restart NZBGet
