Git path for DSM git package

[piejanssens]

I see the following error in my logs which makes git update check and update not possible. I assume this is just a matter of setting the git binary path somewhere:

nzbToSickBeard: [09:11:51] [ERROR]::MAIN: Unable to determine installed version via git, please check your logs!

I believe this happens if your scripts were not installed using git (i.e the source was included in an App and not installed via git clone) or when the .git folder was created by another user and therefore the downlaoder user can't access it.

So, if your downloader runs as user 'nzbget' or 'sabnzbd' etc, check to see what the owner and permissions are for ....nzbToMedia/.git folder. If it doesn't exist, you may want to do your own git clone (as the downloader user) to replace the existing version (just make a backup of your autoProcessMedia.cfg first and copy this back into the newly cloned repository

[piejanssens]

I did the clone using ssh with my admin user, but I gave the nzbToMedia folder 777 permission and I just checked and this is also true for the .git folder in there.

If I log in with SSH I cannot run command 'git'. I can only use it with the full path to the binary "/usr/local/git/bin/git". Maybe that's the issue?

[clinton-hall]

try setting autoProcessMedia.cfg

[General]
    git_path = /usr/local/git/bin/git

I set the git_path and reloaded nzbget, but I still see: nzbToSickBeard: [13:34:49] [ERROR]::MAIN: Unable to contact github, can't check for update

[clinton-hall]

wow. different error. this time it can't connect to github...

just to humour me cd into your ppscripts folder

chown -R nzbget:nzbget nzbToMedia

then try postprocessing again.

[piejanssens]

DiskStation> cd /volume1/downloads/nzbToMedia/
DiskStation> chown -R nzbget:nzbget nzbToMedia
chown: unknown user/group nzbget:nzbget

OK Now did it with group 'users' instead:

DiskStation> chown -R nzbget:users nzbToMedia
chown: nzbToMedia: No such file or directory
DiskStation> cd ..
DiskStation> chown -R nzbget:users nzbToMedia

[clinton-hall]

so what user does nzbget run as? ps aux | grep nzbget

[piejanssens]

Solved! nzbget is in group 'users'. This is the nzbget package from SynoCommunity, anything that can be done to that package to a. set the git path correctly and b. removes the need to chown the nzbToMedia folder manually?

nzbToSickBeard: [13:47:53] [INFO]::MAIN: No update needed
nzbToSickBeard: [13:47:52] [INFO]::MAIN: Checking if git needs an update
nzbToSickBeard: [13:47:52] [INFO]::MAIN: Checking database structure...

FYI nzbget is running as user nzbget.

[piejanssens]

That was a stupid question since nzbToMedia does not come with nzbget. Maybe this should be put in the wiki for Syno(community) nzbget users.

[clinton-hall]

yeah... my wiki is public... can you add this? Either start a new page or edit the appropriate one.

I can do it, but it will be second hand....

[piejanssens]

Yes no problem, happy to help. Will close this, but #457 is still open.
