[SCRIPT] DownloadDaemon (lightweight download server)

[josch]

Hi community,

as it seems that you are getting here not only a super XBMC distro for the Raspberry Pi
but also gold status support for free, I decided to give something back.

For all who want to use their Raspberry (running XBian) additionally as download manager,
here is an simple bash script that will do all the work for you.

What type of download manager is it?:

DownloadDaemon is a very lightweight download server daemon which supports among
other features many one-click-hoster including premium accounts, auto reconnect, unpacking, etc... (lightweight alternative to JDownloader and pyLoad)
It's just the daemon running on your Raspberry and you will use it via a GUI client that is available
for Windows and Linux. There's also a webclient, but this script will only setup the daemon as it's
more lightweight than running also a webserver.

For more info and downloading the client, please check: http://downloaddaemon.sourceforge.net/


What the script does:

• installing all dependencies that are required for compiling and installing DownloadDaemon
• downloading, compiling and installing DownloadDaemon (newest nightly build from svn)
• setting up DownloadDaemon to run as user 'xbian'
• setting location of configuration and downloadlist files to /home/xbian/.downloaddaemon
• setting default download dir to /home/xbian (please change after installation just as you like)
• registering DownloadDaemon as service in xbian-config, so that you can start/autostart the service via xbian-config
• optional installing unrar for auto unpacking rar archives after downloading
  

How to use:


  xbian_installDD.zip (Size: 1.39 KB / Downloads: 99)

Download xbian_installDD.zip and unpack it on to your Raspberry with Xbian running. (Ziped it, because I coudn't attach just the script here.)
Make sure that your Pi is connected to the internet, as the script needs to download some packages/files.

Then run following commands in the same dir where the script file is via shell:

Terminal

chmod +x xbian_installDD.sh
sudo ./xbian_installDD.sh

Thats it, the script will start to guide you through the install process but there is almost nothing more to do for you.

Afterwards you can just activate the downloadd service via xbian-config and connect via client to your own lightweight
download server. Don't forget to configure DownloadDaemon for your needs, this can be done via the client GUI.


Have fun!

How to uninstall:


  xbian_uninstallDD.zip (Size: 1.06 KB / Downloads: 26)

Not what you was looking for? -> No Problem, just download the uninstall script and do the same stuff as you did with the installation script.
This will undo all changes made by the installation script.

Terminal

chmod +x xbian_uninstallDD.sh
sudo ./xbian_uninstallDD.sh

You may want to have a look on my pyLoad script as a more complex alternative.
