CouchPotato and SickBeard

I'd like to share with you the way I got CouchPotato and SickBeard to work on my ReadyNAS Duo. It's FYI and please inform me if I'm abusing my ReadyNAS too much.

My goal was to get both programs working with Transmission, since I'm not a big newsgroup user. Using RAIDiator 4.1.7, Windows 7 and putty.

SSH into the readynas and install the sqlite thingy:

apt-get -y install sqlite
apt-get -y install libsqlite3-dev

LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"

cd /root/src

wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-autoconf-3070400.tar.gz
#wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-autoconf-3070500.tar.gz
gunzip -d -c sqlite-autoconf-3070400.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd sqlite-autoconf-3070400
./configure --build=sparc-linux

# The following takes a long time
make && make install

Next, install python:

apt-get update
apt-get install libc6-dev
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install gdb
apt-get install libtag1-dev
apt-get install uuid-dev
apt-get install libssl-dev
apt-get install zlibc
apt-get install zlib1g-dev

mkdir /root/src/
cd /root/src/

wget ftp://ftp.gnome.org/cdimage/snapshot/Debian/pool/main/c/coreutils/coreutils_5.2.1-2_sparc.deb
dpkg-deb -x coreutils_5.2.1-2_sparc.deb .

wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/Python-2.6.6.tgz
gzip -d Python-2.6.6.tgz
tar xf Python-2.6.6.tar
cd Python-2.6.6
./configure --build=sparc-linux
make
make install

I also had to install pysqllite (I put it in /src/root):

wget http://pysqlite.googlecode.com/files/pysqlite-2.6.3.tar.gz
gzip -d pysqlite-2.6.3.tar.gz
tar xf  pysqlite-2.6.3.tar
cd pysqlite-2.6.3

python setup.py build_static install

Then, download Couchpotato from https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotato. Extract it and copy it to somewhere on the ReadyNAS, I used /home/couchpotato.

cp /shared/couchpotato /home

Now when you run:

python /home/couchpotato/CouchPotato.py -d

it starts and you can reach it on http://[ip]:5000

To get it to start on booting the readynas I changed the initd script that comes with couchpotato to:

#! /bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          CouchPotato application instance
# Required-Start:    $all
# Required-Stop:     $all
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: starts instance of CouchPotato
# Description:       starts instance of CouchPotato using start-stop-daemon
### END INIT INFO

############### EDIT ME ##################
# path to app
APP_PATH=/home/couchpotato

# path to python bin

# startup args

PID_FILE=/var/run/couchpotato.pid

############### END EDIT ME ##################

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

case "$1" in
  start)
        echo "Starting $DESC"
        start-stop-daemon $RUN_AS --start --quiet --pidfile "$PIDFILE" --make-pidfile --exec "$DAEMON" -- $OPTIONS &>/dev/null
        ;;
  stop)
        echo "Stopping $DESC"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PID_FILE
        ;;

  restart|force-reload)
        echo "Restarting $DESC"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PID_FILE
        sleep 15
        start-stop-daemon -d $APP_PATH -c $RUN_AS --start --background --pidfile $PID_FILE  --make-pidfile --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
        ;;
  *)
        N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
        echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

exit 0

named the script couchpotato and copied it to /etc/init.d. Then performed these steps:

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/couchpotato
sudo chown root.root /etc/init.d/couchpotato
sudo update-rc.d couchpotato defaults

It still doesn't start on boot, though, so I added the line below to /etc/frontview/addons/addons.conf:

COUCHPOTATO!!Couchpotato!!0.1!!sudo /etc/init.d/couchpotato start!!sudo /etc/init.d/couchpotato stop

and added COUCHPOTATO=1 to /etc/default/services.

And now it works!

Sickbeard worked exactly the same, but I had to install cheetah beforehand. And I changed the startup script (in /etc/init.d/sickbeard) to:

#! /bin/sh

# Author: daemox
# Basis: Parts of the script based on and inspired by work from
#		tret (sabnzbd.org), beckstown (xbmc.org),
#		and midgetspy (sickbeard.com).
# Fixes: James (ainer.org), Tophicles (ainer.org), croontje (sickbeard.com)
# Contact: http://www.ainer.org
# Version: 3.0

cd /home/sickbeard
echo "Starting Sick Beard"
sudo -u $USER -H nohup python /home/sickbeard/SickBeard.py -q > /dev/null 2>&1 &
;;
stop)
#Shutdown Sick Beard and delete the index.html files that wget generates.
echo "Stopping Sick Beard"
wget -q --user=$SBUSR --password=$SBPWD "http://$HOST:$PORT/home/shutdown/" --delete-after
sleep 6s
;;

echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
 
exit 0

P.S.
I'm probably abusing my ReadyNAS a little, by not using http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=52246 or http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=51609. But so far I've not found performance or resource issues. Another downside may be missing the ability to enable/disable the services from the frontview panel.

P.P.S.
While I was editing /etc/default/services I noticed that TRANSMISSION=0! Which makes sense, cause it didn't start on boot. So I set it to TRANSMISSION=1 and now also transmission auto-starts on boot.
