Nzbget is a usenet downloader.

Create the NZBget Directories

NZBget will store its configuration data in a directory on the Host VM.

On the Ubuntu VM Host, create a directory for this config data.

mkdir /home/peter/nzbget
mkdir /home/peter/nzbget/config
mkdir /home/peter/nzbget/downloads

NOTE: The downloads directory will be used by other services too, so not within the nzbget directory.

Determine the UID and GID

On the Ubuntu VM Host:

id peter

returns:

uid=1000(peter) gid=1000(peter) groups=1000(peter)...

NOTE: Take a note of the UID and GID numbers.

In this case 1000.

Open NZBget

Visit http://192.168.1.30:6789 in a browser.

NOTE: The IP address is whatever the Ubuntu VM is using.

The 6789 port is the port configured for NZBget.

It is suggested to set this URL in the web browser to be the default loading page.
