Service NZBGet

Service: NZBGet

Image	${NZBGET_IMAGE} = lscr.io/linuxserver/nzbget:latest (hotio with the per-app VPN file)
Profile	nzbget
Port	${NZBGET_PORT}:6789
Config	appdata/nzbget/nzbget.conf (ControlUsername / ControlPassword)
Volumes	appdata/nzbget:/config, ${DATA_ROOT}:/data
API	JSON-RPC at /jsonrpc, HTTP basic auth

Environment

Variable	From .env	Purpose
PUID, PGID, TZ, UMASK	same
NZBGET_USER	NZBGET_USER (default nzbget)	web/API login
NZBGET_PASS	NZBGET_PASS (default tegbzn6789)	change it

With APPS_AUTH=apps the setup wizard makes these the apps' shared login; with AuthTunnel the gate sends them for you (App logins). The linuxserver image applies NZBGET_USER / NZBGET_PASS at launch; nzbget.conf keeps its default ControlUsername / ControlPassword. The same two variables are passed to wranglarr, which uses them to log in.

Folders and categories

init.sh writes these into nzbget.conf, each only while it is still at the image's default:

Key	Value
DestDir	/data/usenet/complete (${USENET_DIR}/complete)
InterDir	/data/usenet/incomplete (${USENET_DIR}/incomplete)

It also creates incomplete/, complete/ and complete/<arr> for each enabled arr under DATA_ROOT. wranglarr adds a category per arr to nzbget.conf (Category<N>.Name = the arr's name, empty DestDir, so downloads go to /data/usenet/complete/<arr>), reloads NZBGet, and adds NZBGet to each arr with that category (App Connections). The arrs refuse a category NZBGet doesn't have.

wranglarr integration

Credentials are username / password in wranglarr.toml (the example uses ${NZBGET_USER} / ${NZBGET_PASS}), falling back to ControlUsername / ControlPassword in nzbget.conf. Each version holds a plain copy of /config as nzbget/config/ (without nzbget.log*): the settings, and the queue (QueueDir: each job's NZB and download state) and incoming NZBs (NzbDir) when those are inside /config. When they point elsewhere, the downloads suite page lists them under Not in the backup. Downloaded data on /data/usenet is never in the backup.

Restore copies the folder back with the container stopped. Stats: queue, history, paused, downloaded bytes.
