Why would you comment about the sabnzbd-git aur package on the sabnzbd package? :)

I just attempted to install sabnzbd-git, but it is failing the download of python2-setuptools-2:44.1.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst edit: oops. synced repository and redownloaded. Good to go

Okay, made an sabnzbd-desktop package for all your crazy kids that want to click on nzbs. I don't use it, so let me know if it works. Then I'm going to disown it and someone who does use it can take over ownership.

If it was a natural feature, why don't any of the other daemons w/ web interfaces do it? Nzbget doesn't. Neither do any of the Sonarr, Radarr or Lidarr packages (though I manage most of them, but they never have). Maybe the torrent clients do, since they're actual clients in some cases?

I think we should support loading and associating nzb files with sabnzbd again though. This is a very natural feature, also for a service.

I will warn though, it looks like the python3 version of sabnzbd is coming and I'm going to use that to move sabnzbd out of /opt (like I've done for sabnzbd-git), so it'd probably be a good idea to modify an sabnzbd-desktop type package to work w/ the paths it has or at least prepare for it to change.

Because it is a daemon w/ a web interface, not an application. Also because I don't use it that way and don't want to support it.

If you want, an AUR package that adds those things would be pretty easy and could be usable by the sabnzbd-git package too. You can dig through commit history and find the handful of files that were used to do it. There are a few people in these comments that would probably appreciate it too.

I don't understand why we now have to launch this application as a service instead of being able to manually run "sabnzbd" or use the application's icon installed into gnome. I don't want this application running all the time, and I'd prefer to launch it in the same way I do all of my other applications.

Thanks for pointing it out and helping me figure it out. In the future, I'll probably automate putting the config file somewhere better and switch to using it from there. :)

@fryfrog: Thank you very much, I can confirm that it works now: "sudo systemctl start sabnzbd@user.service". And "sudo systemctl enable sabnzbd@user.service" of course.

And good catch with the config directory!
