SickChill installation Debian Ubuntu 14 15 16

Ubuntu 14.x 15.x 16.x

The following instructions are for installing SickChill on Ubuntu 14.x 15.x 16.x

The installation is applicable to the upcoming 16.04 LTS as it is the same systemd setup as 15.x. The provided script can distinguish the difference between systemd/init/upstart for you.

The installation assumes that you're not using the root user to install/run sickrage - the entries for user:group throughout the document will be set as sickrage:sickrage and you will have to modify if if you want it to match your user configuration.

If you trust us and would like us to just do it for you just paste this:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SickChill/SickChill/master/contrib/debian-ubuntu-install.sh | sudo bash

Otherwise:

1. Update repositories and install SickChill dependencies This will give you unrar-free (guess), and git to pull the repo

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unrar-free git-core openssl libssl-dev python2.7

2. Create sickrage user and group This makes sure that sickrage is isolated and is best practice for security

   sudo addgroup --system sickrage
   sudo adduser --disabled-password --system --home /var/lib/sickrage --gecos "SickChill" --ingroup sickrage sickrage

3. Clone SickChill git repo

   sudo mkdir /opt/sickrage && sudo chown sickrage:sickrage /opt/sickrage
   sudo -u sickrage git clone https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill.git /opt/sickrage

For Init Systems

4. Copy init.d service

   sudo cp -v /opt/sickrage/runscripts/init.ubuntu /etc/init.d/sickrage

5. Make sure your new service has correct permissions

   sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/sickrage
   sudo chmod 644 /etc/init.d/sickrage

6. Update and start your new service

   sudo update-rc.d sickrage defaults
   sudo service sickrage start

For Upstart Systems

4. Copy init.d service
