Getting started

Prerequisites

  • Proxmox Virtual Environment 6.1-5
  • Ubuntu 18.04.3 Server

Update 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Install qemu-guest-agent

The qemu-guest-agent is a helper daemon, which is installed in the guest. It is used to exchange information between the host and guest, and to execute command in the guest.

In Proxmox VE, the qemu-guest-agent is used for mainly two things:

To properly shutdown the guest, instead of relying on ACPI commands or windows policies To freeze the guest file system when making a backup (on windows, use the volume shadow copy service VSS).

jack@ett:~$ sudo apt-get install qemu-guest-agent
jack@ett::~$ sudo shutdown now

In Proxmox, go to Options and Enable by selecting Use QEMU Guest Agent. Start your VM again.

.NET

https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/Documentation/linux-prereqs.md

jack@ett:/tmp$ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev bzip2 mono-devel

Install Jackett

Go to https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases, download the latest Jackett.Binaries.Mono.LinuxAMD64.tar.gz (copy link):

jack@ett::~$ cd /tmp/
jack@ett::/tmp$ wget https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases/download/v0.14.365/Jackett.Binaries.LinuxAMDx64.tar.gz

Unpack the Jackett release:

jack@ett::/tmp$ tar -xvf Jackett.Binaries.LinuxAMDx64.tar.gz

Make the Jackett installation folder:

jack@ett::/tmp$ sudo mkdir /opt/jackett

Move the unzipped Jackett installation:

jack@ett::/tmp$ sudo mv Jackett/* /opt/jackett/

Change ownership of /opt/jackett to your main user:

jack@ett::/tmp$ sudo chown -R jack:jack /opt/jackett/

Test running Jackett which runs on port 9117 http://ip.address:9117

jack@ett::/tmp$ cd /opt/jackett/
jack@ett::/opt/jackett$ ./jackett

Runs OK? Then you can opt in to start Jackett at boot. Let us execute service systemd script to configure this:

jack@ett::/opt/jackett$ ./jackett sudo ./install_service_systemd.sh
jack@ett::/opt/jackett$ sudo systemctl status jackett.service
jack@ett::/opt/jackett$ sudo systemctl enable jackett.service

Fault finding 

root@jackett:~# curl 127.0.0.1:9117
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 9117: Connection refused

This is what I have found out so far:

root@ett:/home/jackett/_jackett# systemctl status jackett

   Main PID: 7994 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

But it is not listening on any interfaces:

Do not know what has happened, it was just down (probably a corrupted install)

Think I’ll just try to backup my settings https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/issues/2576 and throw in a new install. ..
