How to add JD2 to Ubuntu Server autostart - without gui. Only Ubuntu console.

[Jiaz]

Write a script that starts JDownloader in headless mode

java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar JDownloader.jar >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
you should run that script as different user
eg
su -c "/.../script.sh &" user

You can either place it in /etc/rc.local or write a systemd file for it

[pietrek]

I do not know what I'm doing wrong, but something does not work for me.

[Jiaz]

write little script, eg start.sh

#!/bin/bash
cd /pathtoJDownloader
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar JDownloader.jar >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &

chmod +x start.sh

now edit /etc/rc.local

add line to start.sh, next start your system will execute the script

in case you want to use a different user

su -c "...start.sh" user

[pietrek]

I followed the above guidelines and it looks like JD has started.

pietrek@testujemy:~$ ps aux | grep JDownloader.jar

There is something wrong with this launch because I can not connect through Web Interfaces: https://my.jdownloader.org/

What could be wrong? How to modify it?

[Jiaz]

the output shows that JDownloader was updating
did you setup MyJDownloader logins for this installation yet?

[pietrek]

Login data was given. When I run the command:

java -jar JDownloader.jar

the web interface works and I can log in. Where can I verify this password and login?

[Jiaz]

can you show the complete script?

[pietrek]

pietrek@testujemy:~/jd2$ cat start.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/pietrek/jd2
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar JDownloader.jar >/dev/nu
l 2>/dev/null &

pietrek@testujemy:/etc$ cat rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runl
vel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any
other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the
execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

su -c "/home/pietrek/jd2/start.sh" pietrek

exit 0

[Jiaz]

make sure the folder has correct permissions
sudo chown -R user:group /home/pietrek/jd2

[pietrek]

I have the following permissions:

drwxrwxr-x 17 pietrek pietrek        4096 lip 22 20:38 jd2

What to change?

[Jiaz]

and all files in it as well?
all ower are correct?

Convert from user pietrek to root or vice versa root on pietrek?

[raztoki]

if you've already run chown -R then you must be running JDownloader as root as ownership has changed

build.json, JDownloader.jar, and Core.jar is owned by root:root

Raztoki is right, please fix all owner (recursivly) with that command!

[raztoki]

and then never run as root again ;p

[pietrek]

Thank you. It works. :-)

[Jiaz]

Thanks for the feedback!
