This is related to #227, to keep a log. And ask for help if needed.

Step 1 to install is setting al Prerequisites

Enable php and webstation in DSM.
Do NOT enable register_globals
add :/opt/share/pear to php open_basedir
ipkg install php-curl
ipkg install php-pear
edit php.ini
(set max php memory limit to 256), won't know if this will work.
add pear to openbase_dir (include_path = ".:/php/includes:/opt/share/pear")

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

Picture Just fill the boxes And Succes

Step 6 NZB File Path Picture

And we're done!

Now to the Admin Hangout and configure the rest

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

Next you will want to get the latest headers:

cd newznab/misc/update_scripts
php update_binaries.php

But i'll get this error:

PHP Warning:  require_once(PEAR.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /volume1/web/www/lib/Net_NNTP/NNTP/Protocol/Client.php on line 73
PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='.:') in /volume1/web/www/lib/Net_NNTP/NNTP/Protocol/Client.php on line 73

Looking into it at the moment

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

Fixed this to use the full path: /usr/bin/php update_binaries.php

Now working!

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

@Diaoul: Looks like it is working. It's slow, but it works. I'm getting a lot of time-outs from my server:

Error 205: Unexpected response: 'Timeout after 30 seconds, articles 0, bytes 0, groups 1, posts 0, postbytes 0'

but repeating the script will eventually get everything.

Furthermore, I dit not set it up to be accessed from outside, but only to test if it works, and it does!

Tested with my local provider retention of 30 days :-)

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

I'm now backfilling 6 groups up to 30 days.... If my DS211J could sweat, it would ;-)

Diaoul commented 12 years ago

It works, I never said I wouldn't. It's just slow as hell with many groups. I think that's OK if you want a few groups but if you need TV + Movies + Music + Games then go buy a real server :P Could you post some performances here? The update scripts are outputing some interesting informations :)

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

update_releases.php is to big to post. But is pretty fast

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

Got it running for a time now, reworked the cronscript.

Picture

Diaoul commented 12 years ago

What changes did you do to the update scripts ?

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

I replaced all the php commands to the full path and addded a rm -f command to remove the PID. but as I'm looking now it is still not working. I use this script:

#!/bin/sh
# do not forget to change NEWZNAB.. vars =)

set -e

export NEWZNAB_PATH="/volume1/web/misc/update_scripts"
export NEWZNAB_BINUP="update_binaries.php"
export NEWZNAB_RELUP="update_releases.php"
export NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME="10" # in seconds . 10sec is good for 100s of groups. 600sec might be a good start for fewer.
export NEWZNAB_PID_PATH="/volume1/web/" # don't forget the trailing slash . need r/w on it

export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
PIDFILE="newznab_binup.pid"

case "$1" in
  start)
    [ -f ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE} ] && { echo "$0 is already running."; false; }
        echo -n "Starting Newznab binaries update"
        cd ${NEWZNAB_PATH}
        (while (true);do cd ${NEWZNAB_PATH} && /usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_BINUP}  2>&1 > /dev/null && /usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_RELUP}  2>&1 > /dev/null ; sleep ${NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME} ;done) &
        PID=`echo $!`
        echo $PID > ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Stopping Newznab binaries update"
        kill -9 `cat ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}`
        rm -f ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}

After the script is done, the PID is still there and will not restart with my cronjob. stopping will not help, because it stops the script because there is no process to kill.

Maybe you have a suggestion??

Diaoul commented 12 years ago

What is the condition to exit the infinite loop? Because I don't see how the PID could even be written to the file.

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

There is none, it keeps looping according tot the script. There is a PID-file written, I see it. But if you manually stop the script, it is not removed. maybe that's the problem....the PID is not written to the file???

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

BTW, the script is part of the package you get if you download it. I'm not a real expert on this...

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

makes it:

#!/bin/sh
# do not forget to change NEWZNAB.. vars =)

set -e

export NEWZNAB_PATH="/volume1/web/misc/update_scripts"
export NEWZNAB_BINUP="update_binaries.php"
export NEWZNAB_RELUP="update_releases.php"
export NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME="120" # in seconds . 10sec is good for 100s of groups. 600sec might be a good start for fewer.
export NEWZNAB_PID_PATH="/volume1/web/" # don't forget the trailing slash . need r/w on it

export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
PIDFILE="newznab_binup.pid"

case "$1" in
  start)
    [ -f ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE} ] && { echo "$0 is already running."; false; }
        echo -n "Starting Newznab binaries update"
        PID=`echo $!`
        echo $PID > ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}
        cd ${NEWZNAB_PATH}
        (while (true);do cd ${NEWZNAB_PATH} && /usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_BINUP}  2>&1 > /dev/null && /usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_RELUP}  2>&1 > /dev/null ; sleep ${NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME} ;done) &
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Stopping Newznab binaries update"
        kill -9 `cat ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}`
        rm -f ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}
        ;;

  *)
        echo "Usage: $0 [start|stop]"
        exit 1
esac

I'll have a look. Let you know tomorrow. Thanks

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

BTW Working on this....I'm now up to 23 groups. This NAS is so slow, that you should not try it on a machine under 256MB RAM. You'll get time-outs and it will not work properly. If you make a spk, people will submit issues caused by ther slow machines. Maybe a restriction in arch or a disclaimer???

Diaoul commented 12 years ago

I tried on a Raspberry Pi which has a slow CPU too and didn't get any timeouts. Maybe use a different usenet provider? I heard Astraweb does the job with Newznab

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

Hmmm that can be the cause, will have a try....

It is a great package though Cool :-)

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

Tried again with another provider Did a reset of the DS211J and started from scratch. Worked much better! Here is the first output. This is a better performance indicator

thatroots commented 12 years ago

It's all good, I managed to install , I just had an issue were I had php installed in /etc while installing pear, i was editing the wrong php.ini ipkg remove php -force-dependance , and it's all good.

I managed to install all of it and everything seem to work fine....load seem find...for the moment @G1zm0 Let me know if you need anything. @Diaoul Un grand must ..:) qui manque dans ta collection de spk,

Do you know if there is a way of scheduling updates?

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

In the folder /misc/update_scripts/cron_scripts there is a script called newznab.sh This enters a loop to execute update_binairies.php and update_releases.php and than take a short break/pause

thatroots commented 12 years ago

my bad , I hadn't read the whole exchange...I'll set it up and let you know how it goes, what kind of scheduling did u use?

Diaoul commented 12 years ago

Anyways, 30 sec range is fine for 20k parts. I had 110 with my Raspberry Pi

thatroots commented 12 years ago

I ended up just changing the sleep time and NEWZNAB_PATH, the rest seemed ok

Did you add the script to crontab? @reboot?

thatroots commented 12 years ago

added also ,

rm -f ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}

had same issue as G1zm0

thatroots commented 12 years ago

I let it run during the night....no luck :(...the script doesn't seem to work...any ideas?

G1zm0 commented 12 years ago

If fixed this by timing the time it took to update. Than added this to the crontab. Starting update_binairies.php every 20 min and the update_releases.php 5 minutes before that.

But the problem is the script. If the process is stopped for some reason there is no process to kill and the PID-file is never removed.

I've had a friend update the script yesterday, but haven't had the time to test it.

#!/bin/sh
# do not forget to change NEWZNAB.. vars =)

set -e

export NEWZNAB_PATH="/usr/local/www/newznab/misc/update_scripts"
export NEWZNAB_BINUP="update_binaries.php"
export NEWZNAB_RELUP="update_releases.php"
export NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME="600" # in seconds . 10sec is good for 100s of groups. 600sec might be a good start for fewer.
export NEWZNAB_PID_PATH="/var/run/" # don't forget the trailing slash . need r/w on it

export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
PIDFILE="newznab_binup.pid"

case "$1" in
  start)
        if [ -f "${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}" ]; then
            if (ps -p `cat "${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}"` &> /dev/null); then
                echo "Process is already running!"
                exit 1
            else
                rm -f "${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}"
            fi;
        fi;

        echo -n "Starting Newznab binaries update"
        cd ${NEWZNAB_PATH}
        (while (true);do cd ${NEWZNAB_PATH} && php ${NEWZNAB_BINUP}  2>&1 > /dev/null && php ${NEWZNAB_RELUP}  2>&1 > /dev/null ; sleep ${NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME} ;done) &
        PID=`echo $!`
        echo $PID > ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Stopping Newznab binaries update"
        kill -9 `cat ${NEWZNAB_PID_PATH}${PIDFILE}`
        ;;

  *)
        echo "Usage: $0 [start|stop]"
        exit 1
esac

If you start this every hour it should work. If it is already running -> no actions. If it stopped for some reason it will restart

thatroots commented 11 years ago

@Diaoul , Can we expect an spk for this, or should we keep going through G1zmo procedure? Thanks for all the efforts.

Diaoul commented 11 years ago

When i'll have some time I may work on this

thatroots commented 11 years ago

Thanks!!

theCheek commented 11 years ago

@G1zm0 Interesting work. Wanting to set this up on my 2411+ with 2GB memory. Would like to add my experience but slightly new to this. Still stuck on step 1: "add pear to openbase_dir (include_path = ".:/php/includes:/opt/share/pear")"

What do you mean by this? Is this in the Synology GUI or via the commandline? Thanks for your assistance

G1zm0 commented 11 years ago

It is part of the "edit php.ini" There is a section where "include_path" is specified. Not in the GUI, but in the commandline

G1zm0 commented 11 years ago

This "SPK-under-investigation" is becoming more interesting since the closing of more and more index sites.

theCheek commented 11 years ago

@G1zm0 thanks for the response. Ok so in my php.ini i found:

; open_basedir =

So i just remove the comment, and add the above so it reads:

open_basedir = include_path = ".:/php/includes:/opt/share/pear

is this correct? doesn't look right but then what do i know? :)

thatroots commented 11 years ago

@G1zm0 I second that

@theCheek without an spk , you will need to use php installed using ipkg to be able to use pear. so the php.ini is only editable through command line.

But we are waiting for @Diaoul to make us a clean spk without any manual config.

Diaoul commented 11 years ago

Don't wait, make it yourself ;) I have no time for a new big SPK. Maybe in a month or so.

theCheek commented 11 years ago

thanks @thatroots

yeh I figured i'd give it a go following @G1zm0 concise instructions. So far so good I have managed to get to the admin hangout following the install. Will keep you posted on performance of the DS2411+

Yep following nzbmatrix and newzbin closure..this will become a very popular project so an spk would be great. If you can point me in the right direction of a guide on how to do this, then let me know and i will have a bash myself.

G1zm0 commented 11 years ago

@thatroots, @Diaoul I must agree with Diaoul. It is an open source. Diaoul is aready spending a lot of time on this Read the https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc README.rst for guidance to make your own SPK.

@theCheek, I'm looking forward to your experiences

thatroots commented 11 years ago

no problem, I'll start working on it.

@Diaoul I might bother you with a few questions Maybe @G1zm0 can help me out

Diaoul commented 11 years ago

I don't think that's possible to make a SPK out of that as it requires php-pear that's not available. I suggest you ask Synology for that extension and then we'll try to make a SPK for this.

JorenRapini commented 11 years ago

Hey everyone. I've got everything working on my DS411+ except for a cron job. Originally I tried editing /etc/crontab and adding update_binaries/update_releases to it to run on alternating hours, but it didn't seem to be working and once I rebooted my diskstation all of my changes to crontab were erased and set back to default synology settings.

I see that you're using g1zmo's newznab.sh script, but where and how are you adding that to the cron? Thanks all!

On a side note in regards to performance, I'm trying to pull in about 35 groups right now. Once it gets to about 30, I receive the "Could not select group (bad name?)" error even though my cpu/memory usage is only about 25%, so I'm going to see if reducing the amount of days of headers to grab will help next, maybe to 0.5 down from 1.5.
