Update fails on FreeNAS

[ormanya]

I installed 0.2.0.210 on FreeNAS using the instructions on the wiki here. When I try to update to 0.0.0.266 via the gui, the new package downloads ok, and starts the updater, but then the update fails as follows:

[Info] InstallUpdateService: Updater Arguments: 23123 /tmp/radarr_update /usr/local/Radarr/Radarr.exe  
[Debug] mono: Starting mono --debug /tmp/radarr_update/Radarr.Update.exe 23123 /tmp/radarr_update /usr/local/Radarr/Radarr.exe

Usually Permissions, or Mono version problem. Can you double check your perms? Cannot find the specified file leads me to think it couldn't write to the folder.

Mono version is 4.6.2 (Stable 4.6.2.7/08fd525 Tue Jan 17 01:47:51 UTC 2017)

Permissions are as follows:
/tmp/radarr_update 755 (contents are 644)
/usr/local/Radarr 755 (contents are 700)
/usr/local/Radarr/Radarr.exe 700

Ownership for everything is root:wheel and since this is running in a FreeBSD jail, mono runs as root

/tmp/radarr_update contents should be 755 or else the updater exe cannot be executed.

Same permissions as OP, changed /tmp/radarr_update contents to 755. Still failing to update.

@mow4cash did you try chmod -R 755 /tmp/radarr_update ? or you did only chmod 755 /tmp/radarr_update ?

[zenxedo]

The problem is Radarr keeps changing the permissions to 644 when you start the updater.
I manually changed the permission to -R 755 after the zip was downloaded and ran
mono /tmp/radarr_update/Radarr.Update.exe 2383 /tmp/radarr_update /usr/local/Radarr/Radarr.exe

The update was successful. I then had to restore my backup. Now I get this error database disk image is malformed database disk image is malformed

I am finding the same issue where all permissions are reset when update is run from within the app.

When I ran the updater manually it worked, but initially looked like all my settings were nuked. I tried restarting from within radarr, but still was all default settings. However, upon killing Radarr and manually restarting, everything seems ok and is running new version. This works for now, but would be nice if within app update worked.

I have changed radarr to run in the FreeNAS jail as a non-root user and chowned the application and tmp folders for the non-root user. Now the updates work. It appears the issue only happens when radarr runs as root. This might be intentional since typically it is not a good idea to run services like this as root (although this is not necessarily the case in a FreeBSD jail)

How did you change the user you were running Radarr as? I thought maybe changing the startup command to su USER -c "command" would work but no luck

[ormanya]

I created a daemon script in /etc/rc.d https://ghostbin.com/paste/nbzkt

Of course you will also need to create the new user and change ownership of the appropriate folders.

It is based on the latest sonarr script in FreeBSD ports. Note that the code is still a work in progress (a bunch of stuff commented out).

#521 : "ln -s /usr/local/bin/mono /bin did the trick now I can update Radarr with GUI "

That's what I found on Freenas inside a jail.
