If you are anything like me [[1][1]], you like to have dedicated Services which do stuff for you.
|
|||
|
One of the Services I like in particular is pyLoad [[2][2]].
|
|||
|
This program you be used to automatically load files from OneClick Hosters.
|
|||
|
This is esspecially useful if you run this on a small computer like the Raspberry Pi [[3][3]]
|
|||
|
and dump the downloaded data to a central Storage like a NAS.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There are lots of blogposts out there which detail how to install pyLoad on a RaspberryPi [[4][4], [5][5], [6][6]].
|
|||
|
For most parts I don't really want to say anything against these,
|
|||
|
but there was one point in particular that I dislike about all of these.
|
|||
|
This is the reason why I am now writing my own guide. So let's get started.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<!--more-->
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In the following I assume that you are running a Raspberry Pi with a recent version of Raspbian.
|
|||
|
At the point of writing this means you are running some version of Debian Jessie.
|
|||
|
This is the first reason for this guide, because most guides are written for older Debain
|
|||
|
versions and they don't care about things like systemd.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
First we are going to create a system user for running pyload.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
sudo adduser --system pyload
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Next we are installing some dependencies for pyLoad.
|
|||
|
First make sure that you have the following two lines in your `/etc/apt/sources.list`
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
|
|||
|
deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Then we update our package list and install the dependencies.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|||
|
sudo apt-get -y install git liblept4 python python-crypto python-pycurl python-imaging tesseract-ocr zip unzip python-openssl libmozjs-24-bin
|
|||
|
sudo apt-get -y build-dep rar unrar-nonfree
|
|||
|
sudo apt-get source -b unrar-nonfree
|
|||
|
sudo dpkg -i unrar_*_armhf.deb
|
|||
|
sudo rm -rf unrar-*
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Please notice the list of packages that are installed here.
|
|||
|
This is the one point I really dislike about the other guides.
|
|||
|
Most guides are not installing rhino instead of libmozjs here.
|
|||
|
Both of these packages are JavaScript environments.
|
|||
|
The difference between rhino and libmozjs is the language they are implemented in.
|
|||
|
While rhino is implemented in Java libmozjs is using c++.
|
|||
|
For this reason you need the whole Java execution environment on your system if you want to use rhino.
|
|||
|
I don't think it is reasonable to install a complete java runtime on a server that should be running a python program.
|
|||
|
So I think the C++ implementation is superior in this point.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On older versions of Debian there was the package `spidermonkey-bin`, which was more or less equivalent to libmozjs, but newer versions don't ship this anymore.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To get spidermonkey (let's just call it that) running with pyLoad we need to create a symlink.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
cd /usr/bin
|
|||
|
ln -s js24 js
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Now we can download the current version of pyLoad and install that.
|
|||
|
We are using the current git version which is a bit newer that the latest release.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
cd /opt
|
|||
|
sudo git clone https://github.com/pyload/pyload.git
|
|||
|
cd pyload
|
|||
|
sudo -u pyload python pyLoadCore.py
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The last line should start the configuration wizard of pyload and create an initial setup.
|
|||
|
Just follow the on-screen instructions. If everything went well you should have a running pyLoad instance.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you want to start pyload at every reboot you can create a systemd service file for that. Just create a new file
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pyload.service
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and dump the following code in there.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[Unit]
|
|||
|
Description=Python Downloader
|
|||
|
After=network.target
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[Service]
|
|||
|
User=pyload
|
|||
|
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /opt/pyload/pyLoadCore.py
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[Install]
|
|||
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Now we need to activate this rule with systemd.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
sudo systemctl enable pyload.service
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
After a reboot this should automatically be executed and you can see the status of the service with
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
sudo systemctl status pyload
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I hope this guide is helping you in getting pyload running. Even if you already have a running version, you might want to change your js interpreter if you are currently using rhino.
