@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.
  • Removed check function in PKGBUILD due to the official testing of flexget before release.

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

After updating I got permission errors on /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/FlexGet-1.0-py2.7.egg-info/*. File permission was -rw-r----- instead of -rw-r--r--.

I'm getting permission denied errors on the templates directory when using the email output. 'sudo chmod -R o+r /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flexget/templates/' did the trick.

Yay it works again! Thanks a bunch!

python2-dateutil dependency added. Please upgrade.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-03-10 07:24 (UTC)

I'm also getting errors after upgrading: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/flexget", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2707, in <module> working_set.require(__requires__) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 686, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 584, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: python-dateutil<2.0

1.0r2790 works well with python2-sqlalchemy-0.7.5-1 on my end. Are you still having problem?

B-Con commented on 2012-03-09 05:40 (UTC)

Won't run properly with the recent update to python2-sqlalchemy 0.7.5. Until flexget can work with python2-sqlalchemy 0.7.5, the PKGBUILD here needs to lock the dependency to 0.7.4.
