Updating ReadyNAS Apps - NZBGet and SoftEther VPN
Hello happy owners of Netgear ReadyNAS. In case you need update some Apps on your ReadyNAS (mine is ARM based RN 104; OS Version 6.5.1) then I have for you 2 tips:
1) Updating SoftEther VPN (recommended to be done periodically due to security issues) - you can find manual step-by-step scenario description here on my Git - or here at the Netgear Community.
2) If you struggle with the App NZBGet (current version is 1.0.4) then it is most probably because it contains pretty old version of nzbget tool (v. 11.x) and latest release as of now is 16.4 and there is already testing version 17.x which will bring some nice new features (like “Retry Download of Failed Articles”). The detailed guide is posted on my git here.
1) Backup NZBGet App settings and uninstall it from ReadyNAS Admin Web UI
2) Logon as root to your ReadyNAS box (or logon as regular user and execute 'sudo su' to become root)
3) cd ~ (to make home dir working directory)
4) wget http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/apps/pool/n/nzbget-app/nzbget-app_1.0.4_all.deb (will download base package)
5) wget https://github.com/calaba/ReadyNAS-Apps/raw/master/NZBGet-update/repackage-latest-nzbget-for-ReadyNAS.sh
6) chmod 755 ./repackage-latest-nzbget-for-ReadyNAS.sh
7) ./repackage-latest-nzbget-for-ReadyNAS.sh https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget/releases/download/v16.4/nzbget-16.4-bin-linux.run nzbget-app_1.0.4_all - this will create installation package with version 16.4.
8) or just run the script ./repackage-latest-nzbget-for-ReadyNAS.sh and confirm default values when prompted - this will create installation package for the latest nzbget testing version - which is today version 17.0-testing-r1726)
9) Grab that installation package from your ReadyNAS box and install manually through Admin Web UI ; then restore the backup of NZBGet App settings you did in stetp 1) - see some pictures below & Enjoy !

After a while - be patient - it take 2-3 minutes on my system - you will get confirmation message about successful installation:
Now you can see the latest version - 17.x - in installed Apps of your ReadyNAS, click Launch button to execute the NZBGet Web UI (default user/password is admin/admin):
And now you can confirm the version installed also in the Web UI:
