SickBeard, move settings & data from PC to unRAID. possible?

(1/1)

HiSoC8Y:
hi

got sickbeard now running on my PC, and soon will have unRAID.

is there a way to migrate all the settings, instead of reconfiguring all settings all over again on unRAID?

opentoe:
I've done this several times. Your best bet is to take a snapshot of each page you currently have, print them out and then install fresh on the server. One day I installed Sickbeard/Sabnzbd on my unraid server but doing udpates and having too much server load just wasn't worth it so I went back to having all the processing/work done on a Windows workstation computer, then just have the downloads moved over to unraid. I also found out it is just much easier to update the programs also while on a Windows based machine.

Influencer:
You can go into the apps settings, I believe they are in appdata but could be wrong, and copy the config files and sh files to the unraid data directories for each respective app. This is exactly how I did it when I transitioned. Note that any path that is not relative(if written like C:Sab) will have to be changed, but all in all pretty simple.

Just finished doing this, what I did was change the ports of the unraid plugin installs to non standard ports.  So I basically had parallels of both programs (one on locahost:80whatever, and another on tower:90whatever)  once I did the transition and was confident everything was working I copied everything in my sabnzbd\download\incomplete (on my pc) to the same folder on the unraid box.  Sab picked up and continued where it had left off, with sick, I just pointed it to my series share and it re-scanned all the episodes I had. 

I did sab first and like its been said by influencer, I used /usr/local/sabnzbd for the install and /mnt/cache/apps/sabnzbd for the data.  Tested it with a few nzbs then went for sickbeard using the same folder structure.

Since I had two installs, I was able to toggle back and forth to make sure everything was the same.  I still did screenshots in case anything went astray.

Good luck!
