nzbget 21.1 stable on os 6.10.7
Hey folks!
i have a readynas rndp6000-100nas that i've gone through all the upgrades to (firmware is 2010FLAME6, OS 6.10.7, intel E7600 cpu, and 4GB of DDR2 800).
has anyone been able to install the latest version of nzbget stable (21.1) successfully?
The latest from the apps installer is 17.xx and it doesn't allow me to run the auto update.
according to the developers, it should have no issue whatsoever installing and running on my version of the OS.
however, it won't install probably due to the letsencrypt cert issue.
everything i find online addresses what to do if you already have nzbget installed and it stopped running because of the cert.. there is NOTHING to address a fresh install.
I've followed the instructions for both the automated wget install and uploading it and manually installing it as per the instructions found here: https://nzbget.net/installation-on-linux but they both fail due to the expired letsecrypt cert (cacert.pem)
i'm pretty much useless when it comes to linux, so if anyone can give me some advice i'd greatly appreciate it.

Have you tried installing the fix for the letsencrypt issue here: https://rnxtras.com/addons/letsencryptfix
I have not.. i'm not comfortable creating an account for something like that.
I think i was able to get it working. again, i'm a total bozo when it comes to linux/cli so. i'm definitely taking a crash course on it now... 🐵
i didn't have anything on the nas, so i ended up doing a factory reset to start fresh.. then i just kept going through the instructions and realized the installer was doing more of the work than i realized. i also didn't know how to start the nzbget service via the commandline.. which now i do.
next thing will be to get it to auto-start as a daemon so i don't have to keep starting it via ssh just to connect to the webgui..
i'd definitely like to run an update that would fix all the cert issues though.
btw, how does yours handle the downloads of the nzbs and merging, etc....? my biggest concern right now is how this will handle the workload once i get it configured and it starts downloading..
Thanks for your insight!

No account needed to download and install that fix - it is freely available.
The site is WhoCares_ - long time ReadyNAS owner, and someone who has made many posts here.

I don't use that app, so my reply was only directed to your letsencrypt issue.
yup, i just tried it again..
it's free, however they want an email address and an account to be created, then they send a receipt..
it won't allow me to download it unless i fill in my name and email address blah blah blah...
i'm not doing that.
I'd hope there are instructions somewhere out there that will walk a person through updating the certs.
Thanks for your help!
If you had read the description of the package you'd see it's a lot more complicated than updating the certs:
"This add-on fixes the problem by installing an updated version of the ca-certificates package (backported from the latest Debian release “bullseye”) and updated curl- and openssl- libraries built with support for the new certificate chains."
So unless you have a development environment installed on your NAS (or elsewhere) and know how to do backporting, you're not going to do it yourself. I can pretty much guarantee nobody will ever create a "how to for dummies" on such a complex fix.
I'm a long time customer of RNXtras and have never received any SPAM from the site or anything that I believe came form them sharing my email address. The only think I ever received, besides payment receipts, were forum notifications from when he ran his own. Not even notices of updates to aps I purchased. So, I believe you are being overly cautious with regard to not signing up for the site while failing to see the benefit of getting his fix
Hi,
If you haven't got it sorted, yet. Give me a shout. In the mean time I'll try to remember how I did it. I'm sure I have notes somewhere, as the last one brain cell I have can't cope with much these days. I've had it running since Nov 2021.
I know nothing about the "LetsEncryptFix". That's news to me, sorry.
Hey!
thanks for offering! i'm not sure if i have it sorted out.. i don't think i do.
As per the recommendation of others, i went to rnxtras.com and downloaded the cert fix.
I uploaded it per the instructions, however one of my apps (nzbget 21.X (latest stable)) claims there's a cert problem and the only way around it is to disable cert validation in the app, which they (the folks who wrote nzbget) strongly recommend against (for obvious reasons).
nzbget comes with all updated certs and in this simple and straightforward install, it should all work right off the bat.
any advice is greatly appreciated!
Oh dear I seem to have two sets on notes on how I installed it, lets go with this one!
Install the rn version of nzbget from netgear.
Get hold of an updated version from nzbget.net. (ie nzbget-21.1-bin-linux.run) I'm using "nzbget-21.2-testing-r2333-bin-linux.run".
Copy the new version to the nas. Or use WinSCP to drag & drop straight into /apps.
Log into the nas with putty (or your weapon of choice!). I logged in as root (can be a disaster if you do something wrong here).
If you haven't dumped it into the location above, locate the new file and copy it to /apps
mv /where/ever/nzbget-21.1-bin-linux.run /apps/
Navigate to the "/apps/" folder.
Make sure it's there and the folder for nzbget (nzbget-rn).
ls -l (this show them)
Then run the below...
chmod +x nzbget-21.1-bin-linux.run
Then use the below to install the new version.
./nzbget-21.2-testing-r2333-bin-linux.run --destdir /apps/nzbget-rn
That hopefully should work. I do have it running here!
Remember linux is case sensitive.
