Sonarr on ReadyNAS 204

I'm running Sonarr on my ReadyNAS 516.  It's using MONO to run, so it's more of a CPU hog then say SickRage.  I've been using SickRage also trying to get Sonarr to run and then run right and bootup when my NAS starts up.

As someone who is not a Linux person, which is what the ReadyNAS is running, it can be intemidating.  Installing vim, and how the hell do you save the file after editing.  I don't know which is why Google is your friend and I had to do a lot of Googling to get answers I needed.  You can see the end results here.  This is what I get going to System/Status.

About

Version  2.0.0.4146 Mono Version  4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-6) AppData directory  /home/admin/.config/NzbDrone Startup directory  /opt/NzbDrone

It would be nice if I could just install this like any DEB file like the other app's and turn it on/off with a switch like the other apps, but I have no idea how to create something like that.  

You need to follow the Directions here for the Linux Debian install.  That's what the readyNAS is running!!!

I'm using a program on my Windows computer called SmartTTY.  I use this to gain access to my ReadyNAS 516.  If your're not carfull you can screw things up!!!   This gives you a terminal window into your ReadyNAS.  You'll more then likey have to change some settings on your ReadyNAS to allow you to do this.  I log in using admin.   Once you have gained access to your NAS this way, then follow the directions.  I find it simple to Cut in the Windows the line to do, and then paste it into SmartTTY. If you just hit return, you'll get a ^m for whatever reason, just delete that and hit return again, or hit the space bar, then delete back and hit return and it'll work.

Just go step by step.  Once you get to the last part of starting Sonarr, go into your browser and see if you can gain access.  If you just close SmartTTY, that'll kill Sonarr so leave it running.   Make sure Sonarr is working at that point.  When you go to install the Script so it'll autostart on it's own, that is more of a hassle I think.  Stop Sonarr, then you want to install VIM, Go Google and find where to download and how.   You want to use this script here.

Again because the ReadyNAS is using the Debian version of Linux.  If you figured out how to get vim installed, which is just a text editor for Linux,  follow the directions. onthat link.  Create the nzbdrone script. hit e to edit, You want to cut that whole script out, usinf CTRL C to cut after you highlight, then go back to vim on use the top bar of the program and then the paste command and paste it all in.  If you just do CTRL P, it won't paste everything.  The only thing I had to change was the #USER. It defaults as Run_As=nzbdrone.  I changed it to Run_As=admin.

If you take your time and follow step by step.  If you don't kno how to do something, use Google and find the answer.  Again, I'm no Linux expert by a long shot.  I'm a Windows person.    The #1 thing is getting SONARR running and setup first!!!  Some use PuTTY, I like SmartTTY better as it worked better to auto log me in and for cutting and pasting.  You nead to turn on SSH and set that up to work with it on your ReadyNAS.  This part can be a bit tricky to get working.  How well this program well run on the ReadyNAS 204?  SickRage is still being worked on.  I've gotten updates.  Click the link simple to update.   It's simple to install on a ReadyNAS.  Takes up less resources.  I don't like it has much.  It sometimes has issues without failing to download some files.  It's not as simple to see what download last week and what failed for example.  I don't like it as much as Sonarr, but it has it's positives also.  

If there was a simple Sonarr.deb file you could grab and just install like the other app's, I'd say jump on it and use Sonarr.  But there isn't.  It's a hassle and has taken me hours to get working because I'm learning as I'm going.  SickRage does work pretty good.  It's not as pretty, but it does some things that Sonarr doesn't.   Good luck!!!
