@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.

See my comment there, the PKGBUILD misses deps indeed.

After 1.2.378-1 update I'm getting ' The 'pathlib' distribution was not found and is required by pyScss. ' After installing python2-pathlib everything is fine. May be strange, but pathlib is not listed as dependancy for python2-pyscss 1.3.4-2 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-pyscss/)

I updated flexget to the latest version and added a small patch to bypass the "beautifulsoup4 < 4.4" dependency since it is still present upstream. It seems to work fine on my side, let me know if you see a problem with this new version.

sleduc commented on 2015-09-13 10:29 (UTC)

Indeed there is an explicit dependency check for beautifulsoup. But I did some quick tests and flexget seems to work fine with beautifulsoup4-4.4.0 (at least with my configuration, and TUs provided by Flexget work as well). There is currently an open bug for this on their side : http://flexget.com/ticket/3059 For now the workaround would be to block the update of beautifulsoup, or simply apply https://gist.github.com/sleduc/e9fbf58e2a78895bc5ad on the source code...

Here we go again :) - Arch now has python2-beautifulsoup4-4.4.0-1, flexget is not ready for it. So it's --ignore time again....

flexget works with the regular python2-dateutil, there's no need to make a special package just to use an out-of-date version of it.

Now running with SQL Alchemy 1.0

rbellamy commented on 2015-05-31 18:22 (UTC)

Nicely done, @sebleblanc. For those who are still hoping for an "Arch" way of managing this package, take a look at the flexget-git package - I've updated it to point to a branch I'm currently synching that allows the Arch packaged SQL Alchemy.

@sebleblanc Great guide, any idea how I'd get the deluge plugin working through the virtual environment or would I just have to change it to download to a folder instead. Thanks
