linuxserver/nzbget This container is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay. For shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it nzbget /bin/bash.

Parameters The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080⁠ would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

-p 6789 - NZBGet WebUI Port -v /config - NZBGet App data -v /downloads - location of downloads on disk -e PGID for for GroupID - see below for explanation -e PUID for for UserID - see below for explanation -e TZ for timezone EG. Europe/London User / Group Identifiers Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

$ id uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup) Setting up the application Webui can be found at :6789 and the default login details (change ASAP) are

login:nzbget, password:tegbzn6789

To allow scheduling, from the webui set the time correction value in settings/logging.

To change umask settings.

scroll to bottom, set umask like this (example shown for unraid)

Info Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it nzbget /bin/bash To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f nzbget
