To install NZBGet package from Synology Package Center press Manual Install and select downloaded package -> Next -> Agree -> Select shared folder and download directory -> Credentials for web interface -> Done. After installation NZBGet web interface will be available from http://[Synology NAS IP or Hostname]:6789 with provided during installation username/password (nzbget/nzbget by default). Also this link available from package center "Open" button on installed NZBGet package icon.
To upgrade nzbget package - do the same thing with new package. NZBGet settings will be keeped.
Uninstall - from Package center select NZBGet package and hit uninstall in action combo box. You can keep existing config files or cleanup all package data. If you keep existing config files, all settings selected in next package installations will be ignored, old config files settings will be preferred.
When installed, the package adds all the necessary permissions for the selected Shared folder to work correctly. If you want to change the download path to another shared folder, you must manually add permissions for the nzbget user. For example - you changed MainDir to /volume2/some_shared_folder/some_download_directory. You must add r/w permission to nzbget user via Control Panel -> Shared Folder -> Select some_shared_folder -> Edit -> Permissions tab -> select from combobox System internal user -> nzbget -> Read/Write -> Save.
You can put custom extension in ScriptDir directory. During installation this directory appears in selected_shared_folder\selected_download_directory\scripts. Synology DSM 7.x bundled with python 3.8, so you must make sure that the script you are installing supports it. Our forks of VideoSort/FailureLink/FakeDetector are tested and working.
- backup settings via WebUI
- remove old package completely (with wipe settings)
- install new version

- if you switch from our old native SPK package to SynoCommunity, you may get an error running the package. To fix - install latest testing SPK for your platform and remove it completely (this error fixed in latest SPK) OR uninstall SynoCommunity package completely (with wipe settings) and reinstall again.
