Sickrage and CouchPotato

[stripeyhorse]

Hi All,
i have got transmission , sick rage and couch potato installed using entware/debian

everything is working fine. One small problem is i cant figure out how to run them at startup. i have to manually login using Debian start to manual start sick rage and couch potato.

transmission and plex work great after reboot..

I love sick rage.

 

[stripeyhorse]

ill do a write up soon if there is interest.. im after a hand on getting the couch potato and sickrage to work after a reboot.

i have. transmission. plex. couch potato and sickrage all working perfectly on a ac68u on latest merlin. no overclock. 512mb swap.

Sounds interesting. Would be great to hear more about how you achieved it.

I am also extremely interested in how to install sickrage and couchpotato on asus merlin router. I currently have deluge and a vpn installed but would really like if I could turn this thing into an all in on appliance.

Any word on the write up? Thanks

lol

opkg install python

download tar ball or zip dont remember what exactly they had on the site

unpack

make a init file with

python /path/to/SickBeard.py

profit....

ohh and make sure to have a swap setup cause it will use memory not sure why you would want this in a router but there is your write up and its easily converted to couchpotato just change SickBeard.py to Couchpotato.py

 

[ikarma]

so you formated a HD with 512mb swap?

 

[swetoast]

well i got more then 512 as swap but yes a swap is necessary and dont forget to set swapiness

 

[ikarma]

I got it running except installing plex hosed everything so I left that out for now. I removed debian and went back to entware, and to restart it you make a file
nano /opt/etc/init.d/S96sickbeard

and put
PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH
/opt/bin/python2.7 /opt/local/SickRage/SickBeard.py -d

Thanks for the writeup. Can you be more specific with the download tar ball or zip and make an init file? I have optware set up but I only know how to follow simple instructions. I don't know python.

Here is the deal if your insecure about this its not gonna get better if you dont know how to setup a swap since most routers doesnt have much ram or cpu for that matter i would really recommend getting a Raspberry pi and set that stuff up on instead of running it in your router.

but download the tarball via wget or curl

wget www.yourdomain.com/example.tar

then

tar xvfz example.tar

then the init files are created in /opt/etc/init.d/S81-someservicename

#!/bin/sh
ENABLED=yes
PROCS=python
ARGS="/path/to/your/sickrage-folder/Sickbeard.py"
PREARGS=""
DESC=$PROCS
PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
. /opt/etc/init.d/rc.func

something like that should work but again i dont recommend doing that since a router is limited to not run alot of software it might effect performance so if you want a low powered device get a Raspberry Pi cheap and setup Sickrage there.
