Could you elaborate on the hurdles? Beyond installing mono/sqlite (if its not already there) it should be a matter of unzipping and running.Well the proper way would be using a Freenas plugin so that all that is needed is installing the plugin and the application and all dependencies are set. Currently I have to create a script to start/stop the plugin on reboot, manually install the dependencies, copy the needed program files over and set proper permissions. Also the issue is I have to use tmux in order to have the console stay running the background.
I mean for me, once i set everything up then its just a matter of keeping NzbDrone up to date. But for the community to take advantage of NzbDrone on Freenas a plugin would be much more suitable.
That is only the proper way for FreeNAS specifically and making a freenas plugin is typically a responsibility of the community itself as opposed to the developers of the software. The proper way as a whole for FreeBSD is getting it added to ports. It would basically be the FreeBSD equivalent of an apt repository on ubuntu as it will auto pull dependencies and help with updates.
If the devs got it added to ports then for the veteran freenas people it is pretty trivial to make a plugin from that and release it to the rest of the freenas userbase.
Yes exactly, once it is ported it should not be a problem.
