Help setting up Sonarr on FreeNAS

[morxy49]

So i’ve been using Sonarr on my PC for a while now, and i love it. But now when there’s an official Sonarr plugin for FreeNAS i’d rather use that.

So what i’ve done so far:

• Made a backup of my Sonarr database on my PC.
• Installed Sonarr as a plugin on my FreeNAS.
• Added storage “links” for all necessary folders.
• Turned it on to see if it starts, which it does.

What i need help with:

• Copy the backup from Sonarr (PC) to Sonarr (NAS) so everything is the same. I know how to SSH in to the jail, but that is basically all i know. I have no idea how to restore the backup.
• Fix any permission issues that might appear. Probably they won’t, but it seems as if i always get problems with my permissions.

I’m running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201412090314 and the plugin for Sonarr is sonarr-2.0.0.2850-amd64

Thanks!

Alright so I know a lot of people want Sonarr as a FreeNAS plugin. Well guess what? It's pretty damn easy to setup manually. I'll walk you through the unix commands, from there you're on your own. Ready? Crack dem knuckles! (NOTE: I did this with the latest version of FreeNAS (9.2.1.9)) Create a new jail in FreeNAS, just the default settings, give it a name and create. Ok 2 options for this. Either SSH into your FreeNAS box, run 'jls' to find your jail #, and then 'jexec # csh' OR y…

Thanks for the reply.
I’ve already read that guide, and it didn’t give much.
Sorry if i’m bad at searching, but i can’t find the freenas dirs anywhere.

EDIT: i found the dirs! they’re at /var/db/sonarr

so i restored the backup now. all the settings were copied, but it still says “You must be new around here, You should add some series.” on the front page.
