This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Sonarr on OpenBSD, a free and open-source operating system that is known for its security and reliability.
The first step is to install the dependencies required to run Sonarr on OpenBSD. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkg_add mono sqlite3 icu
This will install Mono, SQLite3, and ICU packages, which are required by Sonarr.
Next, you need to download the Sonarr package from the official website at https://sonarr.tv/. Once you have downloaded the package, extract it to your preferred location.
tar xzf Sonarr*.tar.gz -C /opt/
This will extract the Sonarr package to the /opt/ directory.
To ensure that Sonarr starts automatically when the system restarts, you need to create an OpenRC script.
Create a file named sonarr in /etc/rc.d/ directory with the following content.
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: sonarr
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: shutdown
. /etc/rc.subr
name=sonarr
rcvar=$name_enable
command="/usr/local/bin/mono /opt/NzbDrone/NzbDrone.exe"
pidfile="/var/run/$name.pid"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
Set executable permission on this script by running the following command:
sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.d/sonarr
Finally, you can start Sonarr by running the following command:
sudo /etc/rc.d/sonarr start
To verify that Sonarr is running, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8989/. You should see the Sonarr dashboard, which means that the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Sonarr on OpenBSD. Now, you can use Sonarr to manage your TV show downloads and keep your media library organized.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
