## What is SABnzbd?
|
|
|
|
From their [website](https://sabnzbd.org/):

|
|
So basically, SABnzbd is going to help us download stuff from Usenet servers. Pretty cool! 😎
|
|
|
|
## Initial configuration
|
|
|
|
In your browser, go to [http://{your-ip-address}:8080/]() and you'll see SABnzbd's setup page. First, choose your language and click on "Start Wizard":

|
|
|
|
Next up, you'll need to choose a Usenet server. [Newshosting](https://www.newshosting.com/) usually has good deals going on, but you can use whatever server you prefer!
|
|
|
|
When you've got your server details ready, input them and click on "Next".

|
|
|
|
You should now see the final wizard page - congrats! 🎉
|
|
|
|
You'll notice the Completed and Uncompleted download folders aren't quite where we want them. Don't worry, we'll fix that in a minute!
|
|
|
|
For now, just click on "Go to SABnzbd".
|
|
|

|
Head over to the settings page by clicking on the cog-wheel icon in the top right.
|
|

|
|
|
|
On the settings page, click on "Folders" and let's get those paths sorted:
|
|
- Set your "Temporary Download Folder" to `/data/downloads/usenet/incomplete`
|
|
- Set your "Completed Download Folder" to `/data/downloads/usenet/complete`
|
|
- Click on "Save Changes"
|
|

## Getting your API key for Sonarr and Radarr
|
|
|
|
You'll need this API key later when we set up Radarr and Sonarr. Feel free to skip this section for now if you want - you can always come back!
|
|
|
|
To get your API key:
|
|
|
|
First, head back to the settings.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Then, go to "General" and scroll down to "Security". You'll find your API Key right there!
|

Excellent! Now we can move forward with [Radarr](/config/radarr). Get ready - this is where things start getting really fun! 😄
