Fire up PuTTY or Terminal
Change dir
cd /opt/share/
Download the latest version of Sickbeard
wget https://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard/tarball/master
Rename
mv master sickbeard.tar.gz
Extract
tar -xzvf sickbeard.tar.gz
Remove download
rm -f sickbeard.tar.gz
Rename folder
mv midgetspy* sickbeard
In Putty type
nano /opt/share/sickbeard/config.ini
Then paste these 2 lines by right clicking your mouse button in the PuTTY window
web_port = 8081
web_host = 0.0.0.0
Hit control and o
Hit enter
Hit control and x
This will save the file
Now let’s start sickbeard manually
/opt/bin/python2.5 /opt/share/sickbeard/SickBeard.py
Let it run for a minute or so and a menu will come up
You may have to hit the space bar a few times to get to the menu
Hit q to quit and when asked if you are sure hit y
Hit Control and c to get back to the command line
Now lets create the startup script
nano /etc/init.d/sickbeard
There we enter the following text (right-click the way you can paste into Putty text from the clipboard):
#! /bin/sh
#Required -- Defaults Provided (only change if you know you need to).
HOST="0.0.0.0" #Set Sick Beard address here.
PORT="8081" #Set Sick Beard port here.
#Optional -- Unneeded unless you have added a user name and password to Sick Beard.
SBUSR="" #Set Sick Beard user name (if you use one) here.
SBPWD="" #Set Sick Beard password (if you use one) here.
#Script -- No changes needed below.
case "$1" in
start)
PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin
echo "Starting Sickbeard."
# use /opt/bin/python2.5/ if you skipped the Python update!
/opt/bin/python2.5 /opt/share/sickbeard/SickBeard.py -q > /dev/null 2>&1 &
;;
stop)
#Shutdown Sick Beard and delete the index.html files that wget generates.
echo "Stopping Sick Beard"
wget -q --user=$SBUSR --password=$SBPWD "http://$HOST:$PORT/home/shutdown/" --delete-after
sleep 6s
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Now let’s set Sickbeard to start on a MBL reboot
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/sickbeard
update-rc.d sickbeard defaults
Now let’s restart Sickbeard
/etc/init.d/sickbeard start
Now in your web browser go to your mbl name or ip:8081
Set it all up
Done…
I don’t use Sickbeard so please feel free to post any setup instructions on how to set it up and integrate it with SABnzb
