@cmm11 I added this file /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget.service with the intention of reducing the running permissions for users who use flexget-webui. Users using the webui can directly run command within the webui. If you have to run these commands from the command line, traditional su cannot do it because the shell of the flexget user is /usr/bin/nologin and login is prohibited.

  • You can run sudo -u flexget flexget -c /var/lib/flexget/config.yml execute --task task_name

  • Or You can use the gosu that I just packaged to implement: sudo gosu <user>:<group> <command>, for example: sudo gosu flexget:flexget flexget -c /var/lib/flexget/config.yml execute --task task_name.

If you are using /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget.service, you can add a alias in your shell rc file: alias flexget="sudo -u flexget /usr/bin/flexget -c /var/lib/flexget/config.yml or alias flexget="sudo gosu flexget:flexget /usr/bin/flexget -c /var/lib/flexget/config.yml".

After taking over Flexget, I had

  • Added flexget-webui and flexget-webui-v1 in optdepends, you can install and enable webui if you need. When using webui, it is recommended to use /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget.service I have newly added.
  • Fixed dependency packages.
  • Added /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget.service to run as a system user, the original methods that run as normal user still exists: /usr/lib/systemd/system/flexget@.service and /usr/lib/systemd/user/flexget.service.

If upgrade fail, you should remove old flexget first, and reinstall.

The following patch did it in my case (simply removed the “upper bound” from SQLAlchemy dependency check): --- pavement.py.old 2013-04-03 00:53:25.257784397 +0200 +++ pavement.py 2013-04-03 00:55:23.184820740 +0200 @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ sys.path.insert(0, '') options = environment.options -install_requires = ['FeedParser>=5.1.3', 'SQLAlchemy >=0.7, <0.7.99', 'PyYAML', 'BeautifulSoup>=3.2, <3.3', +install_requires = ['FeedParser>=5.1.3', 'SQLAlchemy >=0.7', 'PyYAML', 'BeautifulSoup>=3.2, <3.3', 'beautifulsoup4>=4.1, <4.2', 'html5lib>=0.11', 'PyRSS2Gen', 'pynzb', 'progressbar', 'jinja2', 'flask', 'cherrypy', 'requests>=1.0, <1.99', 'python-dateutil!=2.0'] if sys.version_info < (2, 7):

pyrss2gen has been renamed: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-pyrss2gen/

No pip please. The current PKGBUILD is clean and simple. The reason it breaks so often is, that the devs move older version to a separate directory (http://download.flexget.com/archive/), which I find rather strange.

It fails to download the package. Moreover, the suggested way to install it is by pip. http://flexget.com/wiki/InstallWizard/Linux/Environment/FlexGet
