How to install NZBMegasearch for free on the cloud

This document explains how to install NZBMegasearch on a freely available free cloud service. For this task, we will use OpenShift, a cloud computing platform from Red Hat.

It is really very easy to install it by using the step-by-step instructions.

These are the advantages of a cloud-installed NZBMegasearch:

  • it is always online, no need to start it from your computer
  • it is connected on a crazy fast network (less waiting time)
  • it is free
  • your configuration, your providers!
  • it is SSL and password protected

Note: This kind of installation does not support heavy traffic/load. It is designed only for personal usage (or small groups).

  • STEP 0: Tools needed
  • STEP 1: Register on Openshift
  • STEP 2: Create your site on Openshift
  • STEP 3: Install NZBMegasearch on the cloud
  • STEP ??: Update NZBMegasearch (when updates are available :] )

STEP 0: Tools needed

You only need to install:

STEP 1: Register on Openshift

A valid email is required:

STEP 2: Create your site on Openshift

  • Go to console, make a folder, enter in it and type:

$ rhc app create flask python-2.7
This will take few minutes. The tool will ask for a 'namespace', part of the domain name of your online install. E.g.: If you enter 'dog'. Your url on the cloud will be: flask-dog.rhcloud.com

  • Continue on the console:

$ cd flask $ git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/openshift/flask-example.git $ git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master $ git push


* You can now check out that everything has been correctly installed by opening with your browser:
> `http://flask-dog.rhcloud.com/`

---

### STEP 3: Install NZBMegasearch on the cloud

* Login in  [https://www.openshift.com/](https://www.openshift.com/)

* You will be presented with a list of installed applications. Click on 'Flask'. It should also visualize the domain you have created at STEP 3.

* On the page of the Flask application click on the link: `WANT TO LOG IN TO YOUR APPLICATION?`  

* Copy the line similar to this: `ssh 123456890123456890@flask-dog.rhcloud.com`.

* Issue the command:
> `$ ssh 12361287362187368713621@flask-dog.rhcloud.com` (if you are using Windows, put that as your url)

* If everything went fine, you are now logged in the Openshift cloud and you should be presented this kind of prompt:
> `[flask-dog.rhcloud.com 123456890123456890]\>`

* On the remote server prompt (shortened for visibility), type:
> ```
[flask-dog.rhcloud.com]\> cd app-root/repo/wsgi/
[flask-dog.rhcloud.com]\> git clone https://github.com/pillone/usntssearch.git
[flask-dog.rhcloud.com]\> cd usntssearch/NZBmegasearch/openshift
[flask-dog.rhcloud.com]\> ./install_openshift.sh
[flask-dog.rhcloud.com]\> ctl_app restart

then select 1 (python-2.7) to start

  • You can now check out that everything has been correctly installed by visiting:

http://flask-dog.rhcloud.com/

  • The DEFAULT username and password are:

User: 'NZBMadmin'
Pwd: 'NZBMadmin' ... that I strongly suggest to change ;)

  • Configure all your options, as a standard NZBMegasearch install

  • Disconnect from SSH and remove your directory flask on your hard drive

  • THAT'S IT! You have successfully installed NZBMegasearch on the cloud!

STEP ??: Update NZBMegasearch

  • In case updates are available (via notification in NZBMegasearch), you need to:

Log in: ssh 12361287362187368713621@flask-dog.rhcloud.com (if you are using Windows, put that as your url)

  • and on the remote prompt:

[flask-dog.rhcloud.com]> cd app-root/repo/wsgi/usntssearch/NZBmegasearch/openshift [flask-dog.rhcloud.com]> ./install_openshift.sh [flask-dog.rhcloud.com]> ctl_app restart

then select 1 (python-2.7) to start 

* You can now disconnect from SSH

* **THAT'S IT! You have successfully updated NZBMegasearch!**
