Home Assistant Community Add-on: Spotweb

Spotweb is a decentralized usenet community based on the Spotnet protocol. Please support the developers of this software at spotweb.

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Home Assistant add-on.

  1. Add my Hass.io add-ons repository to your Hass.io instance.
  2. Make sure that the MariaDB addon is installed or use a remote MySQL server.
  3. Install the Spotweb add-on.
  4. Click the Save button to store your configuration.
  5. Start the add-on.
  6. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
  7. Carefully configure the add-on to your preferences, see the official documentation for for that.

This addon will automatically configure and create the database. These steps can be skipped following the official documentation. All you have to do: enter your usenet server details and your download client (eg: nzbget).

Configuration Spotweb

The official documentation mentions: Please run 'http://yourdomain.com/install.php' from within your browser before attempting anything further with Spotweb and make sure all items are checked 'OK'. These steps can be skipped as this addon will automatically configure and create the database.

All you have to do: enter your usenet server details and your download client (eg: nzbget).

Note: Spots are retrieved via an hourly cron job. It can take up to an hour before the spots start appearing. Depending on the specs of your system, it can take more than 24 hours before all spots are retrieved.

Configuration Addon

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.

Example add-on configuration:

log_level: info
ssl: false
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem

Note: This is just an example, don't copy and paste it! Create your own!

Option: log_level

The log_level option controls the level of log output by the addon and can be changed to be more or less verbose, which might be useful when you are dealing with an unknown issue. Possible values are:

  • trace: Show every detail, like all called internal functions.
  • debug: Shows detailed debug information.
  • info: Normal (usually) interesting events.
  • warning: Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.
  • error: Runtime errors that do not require immediate action.
  • fatal: Something went terribly wrong. Add-on becomes unusable.

Please note that each level automatically includes log messages from a more severe level, e.g., debug also shows info messages. By default, the log_level is set to info, which is the recommended setting unless you are troubleshooting.

Option: ssl

Enables/Disables SSL (HTTPS) on the web interface of Bookstack Panel. Set it true to enable it, false otherwise.

Option: certfile

The certificate file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default

Option: keyfile

The private key file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default

Option: remote_mysql_host

If using an external database, the hostname/address for the MYSQL/MariaDB database.

Option: remote_mysql_database

Only applies if a remote MYSQL database is used, the name of the database.

Option: remote_mysql_username

Only applies if a remote MYSQL database is used, the username with permissions.

Option: remote_mysql_password

Only applies if a remote MYSQL database is used, the password of the above user.

Option: remote_mysql_port

Only applies if a remote MYSQL database is used, the port that the database server is listening on.

Database usage

By default, spotweb will automatically use and configure the Home Assistant MariaDB addon which should be installed prior to startup, this can be changed within the configuration to use an external MySql/MariaDB Database. Please note that there is no easy upgrade path between the two options.

Known issues and limitations

When configuring the download client (NZB handling), 'addon_62c7908d_nzbget_docker' is automatically filled in as hostname of nzbget. You'll have to lookup the correct hostname of your nzbget addon. It is usually 'local-nzbget'.
