I wish there was some manual for total newbies on how to install and run this on a linux server.
It would save me so much time when i would be able to download directly to my server.

I actually think i installed it successfully.

I have questions however:

1) I did not performed this step yet https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...tostart-script
Where is this needed for?

2) I managed to perform a download and save it directly on my server but i used the my.jdownloader web interface for this.
I'm trying to figure out how to use Jdownloader2 to download files to the server? How to select a map on the server since Downloadmap only shows directory on my computer.

1.) not required, only an example how to achieve autostart of JDownloader
2.) I'm sorry but I don't understand. You've installed/setup JDownloader on your server, then you just have to control that instance via https://my.jdownloader.org
I don't understand your question, sorry

2) I was hoping i could control JDownloader (installed on server) with JDownloader installed on my desktop.

So the only way to control the server is by https://my.jdownloader.org/?

The reason i ask this, is because the desktop application has more info about the video when viewing "Download" tab (such as size, filetype etc)

you can't control a client with a client.
so you can either use browser extension, my.jdownloader.org webui, or apps that support mobile devices andriod/ios/etc

Got it.
What about selecting a download folder on a server with the desktop client? Any plugin or work around or do i simply want to much ?

[Jiaz]

@cliors: There are ideas/thoughts about JDownloader with GUI connect/control headless/remote JDownloader instance but no real work done on that yet. Until then you can only use Webinterface/Apps/BrowserExtension and write own tools/scripts.

Hallo,
ichmusste mein system neu machen .
leider ist das tutorial aus dem zyxel forum nicht mehr vorhanden
habe java installiert und jdownloader gestartet und die login daten eingegeben.

ich habe dieses script von früher angepasst und unter etc/ini.d abgelegt.
die rechte habe ich mit win scp auf 0755 gesetzt.
da es über ssh nicht geht.

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/jd2-start.sh
chmod: cannot access `/etc/init.d/jd2-start.sh': No such file or directory

starten tut es nicht automatisch

was ist noch zu tun?

#!/ffp/bin/sh
DESC="JDownloader 2 Headless"
NAME=JDownloader2
PIDFILE=/i-data/9bce3fb0/Jdownloader/JDownloader.pid
USER=admin
RUN_AS=admin
COMMAND="/ffp/opt/java/jre/bin/java -- -jar /i-data/9bce3fb0/Jdownloader/JDownloader.jar"

d_start() {
sleep 10
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --pidfile $PIDFILE --user $USER --chuid $RUN_AS --exec $COMMAND
}

d_stop() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE
sleep 10
if [ -e $PIDFILE ]
then rm $PIDFILE
fi
}

case $1 in
start)
echo -n "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
d_start
echo "."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
d_stop
echo "."
;;
restart)
echo  -n "Restarting $DESC: $NAME"
d_stop
sleep 10
d_start
echo ":"
;;
*)
echo "usage: $NAME [start|stop|restart]"
exit 1
;;
esac


exit

@wuffwuff
Funktioniert das Skript überhaupt von Hand? stimmen alle Pfade?

[wuffwuff]

Habe festgestellt das mein scribt vom NAS unter /etc/init d immer wieder gelöscht wird, pfade stimmen
soweit

[Jiaz]

@wuffwuff: Evtl ist das nen InMemory Only Pfad oder wird beim Booten eingehängt? Aber das "Problem" sollte doch via Suchmaschine leicht gelöst sein?

To make it easy to manage I wrote "Start Stop Restart Status" SCRIPT

Here is HOW-TO for newbies:

1. Create file jdownloader with text editor of your choice at /etc/init.d/ i.e.:

sudo vim /etc/init.d/jdownloader

2. Paste this content and replace red-bold text with your variables:

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/jdownloader
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: jDownloader2
# Required-Start: networking
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: jDownloader2 Server Daemon
# Description: T_Send's Starts/Stops/Restarts/Status the jDownloader2 Server Daemon
### END INIT INFO
# Author: T_Send  Contact: t_send@itnu.pl  Web: www.itnu.pl

set -e
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DESC="jDownloader2 Server"
NAME="jdownloader"
## USER for new files ownership & make sure USER has read/write permission to DOWNLOAD-DIR
USER=<User_Name_or_UID_to_run_as>
GROUP=<Group_Name_or_GID_to_run_as>
UMASK=<Change_umask_to_UMASK_before_starting>

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

start_daemon () {
        start-stop-daemon --start \
			--chuid $USER \
                        --group $GROUP \
                        --umask $UMASK \
			--oknodo \
			--background \
			--make-pidfile --pidfile $PIDFILE \
			--exec $JAVA -- $PARM
		log_end_msg $?
}

case "$1" in
    start)
        log_daemon_msg "Starting daemon" "$DESC "
        start_daemon
        ;;
    stop)
        log_daemon_msg "Stopping daemon" "$DESC "
        start-stop-daemon --stop \
            --pidfile $PIDFILE
        log_end_msg $?
        ;;
    restart)
        log_daemon_msg "Restarting daemon" "$DESC "
        start-stop-daemon --stop
            log_end_msg $?
        start_daemon
        ;;
    status)
        status_of_proc "$STATUS" "$DESC " && exit 0 || exit $?
        ;;
    *)
        log_action_msg "Usage: $SCRIPT {start|stop|restart|status}" || true
        exit 2
        ;;
esac

exit 0

Ad.2. To find <complete_path_to_java_exec> follow by sym-links i.e.

ls -l /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 paź 25 08:18 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java

ls -l /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 paź 25 08:18 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java

3. Save file, exit and run:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/jdownloader


4. You're DONE. Now you can use:
/etc/init.d/jdownloader start | stop | restart | status
or
service jdownloader start | stop | restart | status

For init systemd system (i.e. new Debian Jessie) read 5.b.


5.a. (optional for sysvinit based systems i.e. Debian 7 Wheezy / Ubuntu):
If you want to automatically start JD at system bootup, run:
sudo update-rc.d jdownloader defaults (for sysvinit systems)

5.b. (optional for systemd based system i.e. new Debian 8 Jessie):
run:
systemctl daemon-reload - to reload scripts from /etc/init.d dir (otherwise next command won't work)
systemctl enable jdownloader - to enable service autostart at boot
systemctl disable jdownloader - to remove service autostart at boot
systemctl status jdownloader - to show service status info
systemctl start | stop jdownloader - to start or stop service
Jessie is sysvinit backwards.


For additional SCRIPT parameters read

start-stop-daemon --help
or
man start-stop-daemon

and edit start_daemon () entry

Hope it helps someone.
Regards,
T_Send

Changelog:
- Added info for systemd systems (i.e. new Debian 8 Jessie)
- Added change umask before start option
- Added Run As Group option
- Changed PID location to JD HOME_DIR as it creates one on start, so it supports CLI commands after "Update & Restart" in WebInterface or other remote API.

Hello,

what do i put in UMASK line?

I've just removed the sticky of this thread.
A lot of information in this thread is outdated.
By now we do now have several help articles and other forum threads about headless installation on different devices.
Here is a quick overview of some of them:

• Overview headless installation: https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...bedded-devices
• Synology installation: https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...nstallation/13
• Synology forum thread: https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=65599
• Qnap forum thread: https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=64965

Some of the mentioned threads will stay pinned in this subforum.
