Set sonarr_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, then start the Sonarr service by executing
root@Sonarr:/usr/local/etc/rc.d # service sonarr start
Make the user sonarr the owner of Sonarr’s startup directory. This will enable you to update Sonarr from the GUI.
root@Sonarr:/usr/local/share # chown -R sonarr sonarr/
Configuring folders
Stop the Sonarr jail.
Add two mount points, one folder for the TV Shows, the other folder for handling the Deluge transfer.
- Source: /mnt/Breaking/TV Shows
-
Destination: /mnt/Breaking/iocage/jails/Sonarr/root/mnt/TV Shows
- Source: /mnt/Breaking/Torrents
- Destination: /mnt/Breaking/iocage/jails/Sonarr/root/mnt/Torrents
Under the installation, a sonarr user and group was created with a uid and gid of 351:
(...)
===> Creating groups.
Creating group 'sonarr' with gid '351'.
===> Creating users
Creating user 'sonarr' with uid '351'.
(...)
You can change the uid:gid with this;
root@Sonarr:~ # id sonarr
uid=351(sonarr) gid=351(sonarr) groups=351(sonarr)
root@Sonarr:~ # pw usermod sonarr -u 923
root@Sonarr:~ # pw usermod sonarr -g 923
root@Sonarr:~ # id sonarr
uid=923(sonarr) gid=923(sonarr) groups=923(sonarr)
Replace ownage of 351 with user:group sonarr:
root@Sonarr:~ # find / -user 351 -exec chown -h sonarr {} \;
root@Sonarr:~ # find / -group 351 -exec chgrp -h sonarr {} \;
root@Sonarr:~ # getfacl /mnt/TV\ Shows/
