Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.5 Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 6.12.0.122 OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Debug logs: NA Description of issue: After installing Sonarr via the Sonnar Download page instructions, the service does not start. It fails because the folder /opt/NzbDrone/ does not exist (thus the sonarr.service file cannot open NzbDrone.exe).
I have tried apt-get remove sonnar & reinstalled. There are no errors on installation. Why is the sonnar installer not installing the /opt/NzbDrone/ directory?
it sounds like you have a service file you made and it did not update.
Sonarr v3 has it’s own service file upon install; was Sonarr v2 running at the time of the v3 install? if so this should have been handled automagically
I’ve now tried reinstalling sonarr via apt-get install --reinstall sonarr and I get the following error at the end of installation:
sonarr.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.
All is good - sonarr is running with systemctl. Not sure why I was getting the error “sonarr.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it”.
As long as systemctl status sonarr shows ‘Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/sonarr.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)’, it’s all good. (enabled = configured to start on boot)
