FreeNAS 11 setup for Plex, PlexPy, Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, NZBGet, Organizr, NGinx, and Ombi

I am currently working on updating this guide after updating my media server. I have added notes on things I no longer use but may update those sections in the future for users who still use them. As of now, I have everything working with the exception of Ombi and the plugins I no longer use.

Datasets

Create (1) Unix dataset to store your media content (possibly 2 if you want to seperate torrents) Create (1) parent Unix dataset named apps and a child dataset of apps for each app installed (7 in my case). Configs will be stored here.

Dataset permissions

pw groupadd -n MAINGROUP -g GID
chown -R :MAINGROUP /mnt/MAINDATASET/NEWDATASET
chmod -R 770 /mnt/MAINDATASET/NEWDATASET

Jail permissions

pw groupadd -n MAINGROUP -g GID
pw groupmod MAINGROUP -m USER

Install QoL editor and nzbget

pkg upgrade
pkg install nano nzbget

Link config files to /config:

ln -s /usr/local/etc/nzbget.conf /config/nzbget.conf
ln -s /usr/local/share/nzbget/scripts /config/scripts

Link Python environment so scripts can work. Alternatively you can edit scripts with the correct path at the top (ie: #!/usr/local/bin python)

ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2

Update nzbget.conf file (you can configure everything here or just what's below)

MainDir=/mnt/downloads
WebDir=/usr/local/share/nzbget/webui
ScriptDir=/config/scripts
LockFile=/config/nzbget.lock

ControlPassword=[admin password]
CertCheck=yes 
LogFile=/config/nzbget.log
DaemonUsername=nzbget
UMask=0002 #if needed

Create a user for NZBGet to run as

pw user add nzbget -c nzbget -u 504 -d /nonexistent -s /usr/bin/nologin

Create group for main dataset permissions

pw groupadd -n MAINGROUP -g GID
pw groupmod MAINGROUP -m nzbget

Make NZBGet the owner the NZBGet files

chown -R nzbget:nzbget /usr/local/share/nzbget
chown -R nzbget:nzbget /config

Enable and start nzbget

sysrc "nzbget_enable=YES"
service nzbget start

If you haven't setup group write permissions on your video dataset yet you'll get some errors here but they are just saying folders can't be created. You can still check that the webui works and update permissions after.

At the time of writing this guide (2017-09-29) there was a bug in the default scripts included with NZBGet that would cause them to error out if you had special characters in your user_password. I put in a pull request (#453). If you have this problem, change the following in the default scripts:

# Add to other import statements at the top
from urllib2 import quote

# Change
rpcUrl = 'http://%s:%s@%s:%s/xmlrpc' % (username, quotepassword, host, port);

# To
rpcUrl = 'http://%s:%s@%s:%s/xmlrpc' % (quote(username), quote(password), host, port);

I'm unable to get Radarr or Sonarr to start following this process. I navigate to the Jails IP and the default port and no page is returned.
Plex worked just fine. Is there a step missing?

@we7313, I had a similar issue that I resolved by removing sqlite3 and installing an older version. Check out this post: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/error-trying-to-process-tv-shows.60696/#post-432996
