Install on Windows without Docker? about unpackerr HOT 13 CLOSED

I have no idea how to build an installer or setup a service in windows. :(

Check out https://github.com/mh-cbon/go-msi for building msi packages (which I think exists in github actions too), and there are examples for writing a windows service here

There is also https://github.com/judwhite/go-svc for writing services. I personally haven't done this, but I think that these options are pretty baseline for what people do.

There's a windows .exe file on the Releases page. Combine that with a config file, and this should run just fine on Windows. Let me know if you have any specific questions I can help with!

Oh I see, is it titled amd64.exe.zip? I didn't recognize that as a windows release, most other GitHub releases I find are labeled as "Windows". I'll give that a try!

from unpackerr.

That is correct! It's compiled 64 bit for a 64 bit Windows OS. amd64 and x86_64 are the designators for that. Windows is just weird. :D

Relevant to this issue, would be great to have this implemented as a service/daemon like sonarr/radarr. Perhaps supporting windows services and also linux systemd etc. I'm running this on docker in Windows, previously I was using task scheduler to fire it off in the background.

Appreciate the links. I still want to look into this more, but haven't had time. Leaving this issue open so I don't lose this context.

Having trouble with how to install this on windows, took a look at the links but cant figure out...any help?

Copy the executable and the conf to C:\ProgramData\unpackerr and run it from there (to simplify your life)
Open the conf and edit it accordingly with your api keys, etc

Thanks! I'll be trying it now

A few more questions and then I think it will be all cleared up:
Suppose both Sonarr and Radarr download to D:\sonarr_radarr_down, and, lets say, the Sonarr folder is D:\TV. The files downloaded via Sonarr (using Deluge) are being stored in D:\TV\show_name\Season_No\, under which each episode has a folder that contains the rared files.

I have set my Sonarr and Radarr download directories as D:\sonarr_radarr_down, but I also want to be able to delete the extracted files from the extracted folder after importing is finished but keep it in the Sonarr media library. Do I need to edit the bottom-most section of the conf file?

from unpackerr.

No, do not use the Folder feature for arr apps. The only thing that can be difficult to configure is the path, but on a single system (no Docker) it's much easier. Just run it, watch the log/output for a bit and see if it has the right paths in the messages. If not, quit it, fix the paths, and try again. It overall pretty easy. It will deleted the extracted files after sonarr/radarr import them.
