Running a FileBot Post-processor

Follow these instructions to configure the Unmanic Docker container for running FileBot as a Post-processor function.

Instructions:

1) Enable FileBot in the Unmanic container

The Unmanic container does not have FileBot installed out-of-the-box.

You will need to install it into the container during container startup.

1. Create a file inside the container /config/startup.sh
2. Inside this file append the following contents:

#  _____ _ _      _           _
# |  ___(_) | ___| |__   ___ | |_
# | |_  | | |/ _ \ '_ \ / _ \| __|
# |  _| | | |  __/ |_) | (_) | |_
# |_|   |_|_|\___|_.__/ \___/ \__|
#
# Flag to easily disable installation on startup
INSTALL_FILEBOT=true
INSTALL_LEGACY_FILEBOT=false
# Define software versions (only used for legacy installation)
ARCH=amd64  # (amd64, 1386, armhf)
FILEBOT_VERSION=4.7.9

if [[ ${INSTALL_FILEBOT} == 'true' ]]; then
    if ! command -v filebot &> /dev/null; then
        # 1. Import signing keys
        apt-get update
        apt-get install -y --install-recommends dirmngr gnupg apt-transport-https
        apt-key adv --fetch-keys "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/plugins/master/gpg/maintainer.pub"

        # 2. Add deb repository to sources.list
        echo "deb [arch=all] https://get.filebot.net/deb/ universal main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/filebot.list

        # 3. Update package index
        apt-get update

        # 4. Install dependencies explicitly (otherwise apt-get autoremove may purge them)
        apt-get install -y --install-recommends \
            default-jre \
            openjfx \
            mediainfo \
            libchromaprint-tools \
            p7zip-full \
            unrar

        if [[ ${INSTALL_LEGACY_FILEBOT} == 'true' ]]; then
            # 5. Install FileBot legacy version
            mkdir -p /config/filebot/
            pushd /config/filebot/
            if [[ ! -e /config/filebot/filebot_${FILEBOT_VERSION}_${ARCH}.deb ]]; then
                curl -kSL \
                    -o /config/filebot/filebot_${FILEBOT_VERSION}_${ARCH}.deb \
                    "https://cfhcable.dl.sourceforge.net/project/filebot/filebot/FileBot_${FILEBOT_VERSION}/filebot_${FILEBOT_VERSION}_${ARCH}.deb"
                chmod a+rw /config/filebot/filebot_${FILEBOT_VERSION}_${ARCH}.deb
            fi
            # apt-get install -y openjdk-8-jdk-headless   libjna-java
            apt-get install -y /config/filebot/filebot_${FILEBOT_VERSION}_${ARCH}.deb

            popd
        else
            # 5. Install FileBot from repo
            apt-get install -y --install-recommends filebot
        fi

    fi
fi

note

It may take some time for this script to complete the installation of FileBot and all of its dependencies. During this time, Unmanic will not start, and the web UI will not be accessible. Be patient, it will only need to run this installation the first time the container is started.

tip

You can configure the script in the following ways:

Variable	Set Value	Description
INSTALL_FILEBOT	true / false	Enable / Disable the script
INSTALL_LEGACY_FILEBOT	true	Install the legacy version of FileBot link rather than the latest release
ARCH	amd64 / 1386 / armhf	Specify the hardware (x86_64 / x86 / ARM) version of FileBot (only required when installing the legacy version)
FILEBOT_VERSION	4.7.9	Specify the version of FileBot to download (only required when installing the legacy version)

3. Restart the container

During startup, this script will install FileBot if it is not already installed in this container.

2) Install the 'External Post-processor Script' Plugin

Open the plugin installer and install the plugin named 'External Post-processor Script'

3) Configure the 'External Post-processor Script' Plugin

Once installed, click on the 'External Post-processor Script' Plugin icon.

Click on Settings

4) Enable the 'External Post-processor Script' Plugin

In the Plugin table, enable the configured 'External Post-processor Script' Plugin
