In earlier versions of ClearOS we had to include quite some external repositories to make a workable SABnzbd. Obviously, that didn't help the stabitity of our systems. Or we could stay at very old versions of SABnzbd.
Now, with ClearOS 6 in beta version, we can upgrade to the latest version of SABnzbd, i.e. 0.6.15, with only very few external links. I will describe the entire installation process on a clean ClearOS 6 system step by step. It is assumed that a PuTTY/SSH terminal is available or you can do this from the command line.
First, we need to fetch and install auxilliary program par2cmdline.
Now, we will generate our own minimal repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/SABnzbd.repo. Type:
and copy-paste following text into the terminal:
Hit Esc and type
:w
:q
in order to write the file and leave the vi editor.
It is good practice to remove the last 7 lines of this file (beginning with [rpmfusion ... ]) after the installation, so that this repository will not interfere with future updates from ClearOS itself. The only thing you lose is that unrar will not be updated, but that's unlikely to happen anyway.
Do this only when you're quite satisfied with the installation, but please do it, for your own sake! The [SABnzbd] part needs to stay, so that we will get automatic updates of SABnzbd via yum update.
The final installation is easy:
This will install 11 packages, 9 from ClearOS plus unrar and SABnzbd itself.
Now we will install SABnzbd as a service on our ClearOS 6 system.
We will need a new, dedicated user for SABnzb. Using webconfig, add a new user, i.e. sabnzb. It can be every name, even an existing user name, but we will use sabnzb here. All configuration info for SABnzbd and all downloaded files of the future will end up in /home/sabnzb.
Provide user name, password and change Login shell to /bin/bash.
Back on the terminal, logout, log in again, now as sabnzb and run the program:
It is important you run the program as sabnzb, as the program will now make a user config file and store it at /home/sabnzb.
On your terminal you will see many commands coming by, ending with URLGrabber starting up.
You will not get a prompt as the program is still running. You can stop it from running at any time by typing Ctrl+C, but we will do some checks first.
With your browser, surf to
(substitute your own url for 192.168.1.1). You should now see a message from SABnzbd, although in my case that didn't happen. I assume this has something to do with the browser, not SABnzbd. It will be addressed later.
Also, check that your home directory contains the user config file:
should present sabnzbd.ini. This file will later be used extensively as all user data is located here. There is a different file containing the system config. We will now set some of the variables of the system config file. Better do that as root, so stop the terminal, start it again, log in as root and type:
You will probably want to change the lines
sabuser=
apikey=
host=
port=
username=
password=
sabuser will be sabuser=sabnzb (or whatever your chosen username was)
apikey must be copied/pasted from the user config file /home/sabnzb/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini. This makes sure that both config files refer to the same installation of SABnzbd.
host is the url of your ClearOS system, i.e. host=192.168.1.1 or whatever your system is at.
port is 8080 by default but can be anything. We will use port=8080 here.
username and password: use the entries for user sabnzb (see above).
You can change the line nicecmd if you want to use nice or ionice (set priorities for i/o). Save and quit by issuing
After all changes are made, we're proceeding by testing the service. Type (still as root):
It is important to check that the service can stop and restart. If that's not working, re-check host=, apikey=, username=, password=, etc. and make sure they match between user config file and system config file.
According to SABnzbd you should be set now, but in my case that wasn't so. Only after I made one more change to the user config file did I get a response from my browser at
(use your own url instead and make sure the port is open in the firewall). If you don't get a response either, you may try (as I did) to change the line host=localhost or host=127.0.0.1 to host=192.168.1.1 (change accordingly) in file /home/sabnzb/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini. For me that did the trick, funny enough.
Also, if you used other non-default entries in the system config file, these should be edited in the user config file as well.
Finally, you will have your SABnzbd service start up automatically by entering at the terminal (still as root):
The rest of the installation can be done through the SABnzbd wizard on the browser. Now you should have a nicely running SABnzbd with minimal links to outside repositories.
Success!

Hmm.. not when I posted my reply. I did a successful yum update as well. Sab was updated immediately.
Did you use a webbrowser to go to the posted URL? I bet you did. That won't work. It gives a 404. Yum does know how to handle it though.
If you try the wiki link you'll see you are able to browse the repository.
So:
1. Ignore 404
2. Update /etc/yum.repos.d/SABnzbd.repo
3. yum update
4. sab is updated -

hmm, now I am installing a new system on ClearOS 6.5, but not succeeding in installing SABnzb at all..
After some google-ing:
http://tepette.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/sabnzbd-6-x-on-clearos-6-2/
[code]Install unrar (symlink to 7z does not work for the dependency):
rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/unrar/unrar-4.1.4-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm
First enable the EPEL repository:
rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.nl.eu.kernel.org/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
Create a SabNZBd repo by pasting the following code in “/etc/yum.repos.d/SABnzbd.repo”:
[SABnzbd]
name=SABnzbd for RHEL 6 and clones - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://fedora-sabnzbd.dyndns.org/SABnzbd/RHEL-CentOS/6/
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Notice! Remove any space in front of each line.
Install SabNZBd and it’s dependencies:
yum --enablerepo=clearos-core install SABnzbd
Start SabNZBd:
SABnzbd
Stop SabNZBd:
ctrl-c
Edit “/[homefolder]/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini” and find the “host” property and remove the “localhost” value. This way it looks up and listens to the system ip address.
Start SabNZBd:
SABnzbd -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini -

Thank you, Tim. I'm om 6.5 myself and hadn't realized that brend's question was about the latest final and stable version. I do encounter short syncing problems between mirrors, though. This is usually corrected within a few days. I see no reason at all for a new How-To as nothing has changed, but if anybody can improve it I would welcome that.

ClearOS 6.4 is stable / final release
ClearOS 6.5 is currently in beta, and can be tested by enabling the clearos-updates-testing repo. If you want to install third party packages outside of the normal clearos repos then you'll likely need to enable clearos-core as Nick posted above.
The mirors do change and sometimes there are somtimes short periods when packages are moving around, but it is incorrect to state that they are all 'beta' -

Hi Brend,
I would advise to wait a bit and try again. It's my experience that ClearOS 6 sometimes is incomplete for a while, but this is repaired in a few day's time. It's a beta system after all.
Obviously you could try running
yum install pyOpenSSL python-cheetah
but if that doesn't solve things immediately I would just wait for a few days.

When I looked over it I followed the install method and OP's post to configure it, I have it working. So read over the OP's post first. I added a bit to simplify the installation side of it
Tested on Clear 6.3 Community x64 i386 and Pro 6.3 x64
Works fine on all of them, something I have noticed however is that with my install method that it happens to want to use the same port 8080 which coincidentally in use by dansguardian av so I changed that to port 8085 when you first run it as whatever user you created to generate and run the configuration files
The port change I assume has changed sometime between the original op's post and my own -

Hi Theo,
I only noticed this now after your remark. My original text must have been too long and therefore having been shortened by the editor. In themirrorlist-rpmfusion line a piece of text was replaced by "... ". You can try to reconstruct the line, but it's probably faster to remove this line and uncomment (removing the leading #) the previous line containing baseurl. This way you will not search for the fastest mirror, that's the only drawback.
Success!

Hi Theo,
If including the "http"-part makes the difference for you, that's fine. It was not necessary in my case so I left it out.
You seem to have skipped the rpmfusion-part so you don't have unrar, which is necessary for SABnzbd to load.
My policy is to use rpmfusion only once for downloading unrar, but remove the repository from the list once that is done. This way you will not get any updates of unrar (which shouldn't be too big an issue) but at least you are sure you will not pick up unwanted upgrades of other apps which might interfere with the stability of your system.
Hope this helps,

Hi Marcel,
My suggestion is to entirely remove the rpm-fusion part after installation. I do not expect unrar being updated very often and rpm-fusion is a large repo, so I would prefer to leave it out entirely after unrar has been installed.
The SABnzbd part, on the other hand, is advised to stay in. SABnzbd is updated very frequently (more than 10 updates the last 6 months) and this way you will benefit from every yum update, so you will always have the latest version. The SABnzbd repo part refers to a very small fedora repo. You always take some risk when allowing outside repo's but this risk is calculated.
Obviously, your suggestion is excellent. Problem is, that many people don't know exactly what the --enablerepo part means or will have forgotten the repo name and will just do a yum update. I wanted to make sure that these people also will get (frequent) updates, with still minimal risk. That's why I left out all the other repo stuff that is normally included and brought it back to the bare minimum. Most ClearOS systems are in environments where reliability is key. Anyway, this is my approach.
I think this will be much safer than the situation under ClearOS 5.2, with many external repos needed. -
