No Nonsese guide to install sabnzbdplus on a raspberry PI

Installing sabnzbdplus on the raspberry pi is pretty straight forward IF you have unrar installed. Unrar however is not part of the raspberry pi's resource lists. You can try to fiddle around with unrar-nonfree or similar solutions and symlink them - sometimes they break, sometimes they don't work and I find it's a hassle for no reason at all. Even the PI0 is capable of unraring large archives; it just takes a while.

It's quite simple to resolve this, we simply ad debian to the sources.list.

wget -qO - https://ftp-master.debian.org/keys/archive-key-10.asc | sudo apt-key add -

echo deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install unrar

Not we install sabnzbdplus sudo apt install sabnzbdplus

Most likely you want to run sabnzbdplus headless. sabnzbdplus --server 0.0.0.0

If you'd like to run it as a service: sudo nano /etc/default/sabnzbdplus

Change the line USER=

to USER=pi

And lets start it. sudo service sabnzbdplus start

Tadaaa. We're done.
