Couchpotato jail

couchpotato jail

Setup for couchpotato service jail with iocage.

On FreeNAS

Create jail:

iocage create --release 11.1-RELEASE --name couchpotato \
          boot="on" vnet=on bpf=on \
          allow_raw_sockets="1" \
          ip4_addr="vnet1|172.20.40.31/24" \
          interfaces="vnet1:bridge1" \
          defaultrouter="172.20.40.1" \
          resolver="search ramsden.network;nameserver 172.20.40.1;nameserver 8.8.8.8"

On Freenas create datasets:

• Datasets

  • Couchpotato Data

    • tank/data/database/couchpotato

  • Media

    • For all media tank/media/Movies/...

  • Downloads

    • For all Downloads tank/media/Downloads/...

Create media user/group using uid from freenas:

iocage exec couchpotato 'pw useradd -n media -u 8675309'

Nullfs mount datasets in jail:

Couchpotato data:

iocage exec couchpotato 'mkdir -p /var/db/couchpotato && chown media:media /var/db/couchpotato'
iocage fstab --add couchpotato '/mnt/tank/data/database/couchpotato /var/db/couchpotato nullfs rw 0 0'

Downloads:

iocage exec couchpotato 'mkdir -p /media/Downloads/Complete /media/Downloads/Incomplete && chown -R media:media /media/Downloads'

iocage fstab --add couchpotato '/mnt/tank/media/Downloads/Complete /media/Downloads/Complete nullfs rw 0 0' && \
iocage fstab --add couchpotato '/mnt/tank/media/Downloads/Incomplete /media/Downloads/Incomplete nullfs rw 0 0'

Setup directories:

iocage exec couchpotato 'mkdir -p /media/Movie/Movies /media/Movie/Sports && chown -R media:media /media'

Repeat for media:

iocage fstab --add couchpotato '/mnt/tank/media/Movie/Movies /media/Movie/Movies nullfs rw 0 0' && \
iocage fstab --add couchpotato '/mnt/tank/media/Movie/Sports /media/Movie/Sports nullfs rw 0 0'

Check fstab:

iocage fstab --list couchpotato

Start jail and enter.

iocage console couchpotato

In Jail

Install couchpotato freebsd version from git.

pkg update && pkg upgrade

Install required tools

pkg install python py27-sqlite3 fpc-libcurl docbook-xml git-lite

Use user media, clone to a temp repo in /var/db.

cd /var/db
git clone https://github.com/CouchPotato/CouchPotatoServer.git temp

Move the bare repo that was just cloned to the dataset we mounted earlier to /var/db/couchpotato.

mv temp/.git couchpotato/
rm -rf temp

Switch to the media user and reset the repo to HEAD.

su media
cd couchpotato
git reset --hard HEAD
exit

As root, copy the startup script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d and make the startup script executable.

mkdir /usr/local/etc/rc.d
cp /var/db/couchpotato/init/freebsd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchpotato
chmod 555 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchpotato

Read the options at the top of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchpotato.

If not using the default install, specify options with startup flags.

sysrc 'couchpotato_enable=YES' 'couchpotato_user=media' 'couchpotato_dir=/var/db/couchpotato'

Finally, start couchpotato.

service couchpotato start

Restart the jail, open your browser and go to http://server:5050/.
