@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.

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.

I'm getting no errors and I have python-lxml installed.

wilbowma commented on 2012-02-18 05:28 (UTC)

Nevermind, it seems to be related to python-lxml. Uninstalling it fixes this the issues with flexget, but...

wilbowma commented on 2012-02-18 04:49 (UTC)

I'm having tons of errors with flexget after updating. I talked with the devs on IRC and they weren't having issues, so I'm left wondering if it's something Arch specific or just me. Is anyone else having issues such as: http://flexget.com/ticket/1446 http://flexget.com/ticket/1342 http://flexget.com/ticket/1389

@tvalue: Thank you, added python2-chardet>=1.0.0 as a dependency. @foolosophy: I am currently using flexget with python2-requests 0.10.1-1 installed and flexget did not complain about the version.

Because after building and installing Flexget, it would crash. The python backtrace was complaining that it needed requests>=0.9.1 and <0.10.0

amrhassan commented on 2012-01-23 22:13 (UTC)

I updated the dependencies to require python2-certifi>=0.0.7 but how did you know about python2-requests<0.10?

foolosophy commented on 2012-01-23 18:21 (UTC)

I flagged this as out of date, but the latest version of Flexget (r2686) requires an old version of python2-requests (<0.10). Also python2-certifi AUR's version is out of date.

The most recent version of Flexget requires a couple new libraries.
