Install NZBGet 17.1 on ReadyNAS OS 6.6.0 (working)
Hello everyone,
I spent some time with @hugbug (offical developer of NZBGet) over the weekend and let him know about the issues we are having getting a working version for OS 6.6.0.
He encouraged me to use the offical installer and pretty much guaranteed it would work on OS 6.6.0, while hesitant, I took him up on his offer since he was willing to support the install should anything go wrong.
Here is what you need to do to get NZBGet current version working, and best of all the update within app now works!
(Note: My machine is RN516, your mileage may vary. This will not give you a visible app in the apps section of front end, but it will persist and auto-start on reboot).
This will work very similiar to Sonarr as it just runs all the time in the background and start on reboot of the NAS. Webgui is always availble this way.
If you are on 6.5.2, run NZBGet and backup your settings/config to your local computer
Start the installer (custom path, I chose /apps/nzbget)
sh nzbget-latest-bin-linux.run --destdir /path/to/install/nzbget
Test that you get the command console
<nzbget-directory>/nzbget -s
If you get an error about the config file not being read, you need to make sure a copy of it is in one of the directories it specifies in the error message. Just drag or make a copy of the default config file and drop it into one of the required directories such as /.nzbget
Now start a web-browser and open URL http://ip-address-of-linux-machine:6789. You should see NZBGet web-interface. Default login credentials are username: nzbget, password: tegbzn6789.
Once you have access to webgui, you can restore your settings you backed up in the old version. (everything backs up perfectly except the paths section. If you try to restore those form the old ReadyNAS app you will get a 404 error not found. This is because the ReadyNAS app and Official NZBGet installer use different folder structures. I had to manually recreate my paths to match the same folders but it only takes a few minutes.
Run as a service (Daemon mode)
<nzbget-directory>/nzbget -s
Let's make NZBGet persist and auto-start on reboot (credit to HTPC setup guide for Debian installations for this one, don't use hugbug's script it doesn't work)
Fire up WinSCP browse to and create /etc/init.d/nzbget or nano to create the empty file:
nano /etc/init.d/nzbget
Paste this code and save the file
(Change the path in these 2 areas to reflect your path i.e./usr/local/bin/nzbget -D, /usr/local/bin/nzbget -Q)
Create /downloads folder or you will get errors that looks like this during the boot sequence:
mkdir /path/to/downloads
(These nzb.conf errors can be solved by creating the /downloads directory)
Start services: NZBgetnzbget.conf(49): Invalid value for option "InterDir" (/downloads/inter/): could not create directory :
nzbget.conf(70): Invalid value for option "TempDir" (/downloads/tmp/): could not create directory :
nzbget.conf(67): Invalid value for option "QueueDir" (/downloads/queue/): could not create directory :
nzbget.conf(61): Invalid value for option "NzbDir" (/downloads/nzb/): could not create directory :
Now NZBGet will start automatically on boot!
That's it, you are up and running with NZBGet on ReadyNAS OS 6.6.0
Again special thanks to developer of NZBGet hugbug for making this dream a reality, enjoy 🙂

Thanx for following up on this. I can confirm successfull test on ReadyNAS 104 with OS 6.6.0. I used the install path /apps/nzbget - thus had to correct the /etc/init.d/nzbget accordingly to have 'service nzbget start' and 'service nzbget stop' working properly
To see the NZGGet in the installed apps on my ReadyNAS I did:
1) created empty file .localapp file in /apps/nzbget
2) copied the config.xml and logo.png from the old NZBGet Get App 1.0.4 into the /apps/nzbget and renamed the 'nzbget-app' to 'nzgbet' inside the config.xml (the old 1.0.4 NZBGet app is installing into /apps/nzbget-app)
Most of the debian based installation guides help with many applications out there. I saw the nzbget in the debian repo and go a bit of the build configurations from their repo. I change the configuration files to point to ReadyNAS config files (in the /app/nzbget-rn/ directory).
Re: Install NZBGet 17.1 on ReadyNAS OS 6.6.0 (working)
The start/stop does hold through NAS reboot for me, did you check your paths in the script and make sure the script is named nzbget and dropped into the /etc/init.d/ folder?

@Frosti, I am not sure why the errors, I had other issues figuring out the process, but never any such erros, that part was very clean for me. The good thing is since you are installing the offical app you can goto the offical NZBGet support forums and ask this question, when I did, I got responses and help back within a few minutes, straight from the developer, you may have a different experience but I think that is your best starting point:
