FlexGet
FlexGet is a multipurpose automation tool for content like torrents, NZBs, podcasts, comics, series, movies, etc, and can handle different kinds of sources like RSS feeds, HTML pages, and CSV files. This allows you to integrate and create powerful automation between your downloaders, organizers, and your media servers.
This guide shows you the following:
- Install FlexGet to your service
- Create your first FlexGet configuration
- Upgrading and Removing FlexGet
Install FlexGet via Python's virtual environment
- First, connect to your Ultra service via SSH.
- To install FlexGet, execute the following command and follow the instructions.
bash <(wget -qO- https://scripts.ultra.cc/main-v2/FlexGet/flexget-install.sh)Configure FlexGet
Create config.yml
- Here, we will now create your first FlexGet YAML. Start by creating FlexGet's config folder by running the following command:
mkdir -p "$HOME"/.config/flexget- Navigate to your created folder by doing
cd "$HOME"/.config/flexget- Create a config.yml with the following
nano config.ymlRefer to FlexGet Configuration for information about making your config as well as FlexGet Cookbook for some basic automation tasks that you can do with FlexGet.
To check if your config is correctly formatted and configured, you may have to use the following commands:
flexget checkto check the config file for any errorsflexget --test executeto test run your configuration.
