sabnzbd-sanitizer

This tiny Node app polls your SABnzbd history via API and removes one or more categories of NZBs.

It will poll often after finding something that requires cleaning, and slow down in periods of inactivity.

Additionally, by default, the script will clear ALL warnings/errors if ANY are found to include the name of the specified categories, as this might leak information about those categories. For this feature to work as expected, it is recommended to download the specified categories into file paths that include the category name. This behavior can be disabled by setting CLEAR_WARNINGS to false.

Configuration

Requires setting environment variables for which a default is not supplied.

Environment Variable	Description	Example	Default
API_URL	The full URL to your SABnzbd API	http://192.168.1.100:8080/api	No default
API_KEY	Your API key	3c64cc70468348138aa2964d257a7108	No default
CATEGORIES	A comma-separated list of categories to purge from history	movies,music	No default
MAX_POLL_SECS	Max number of seconds between checks	60	300
CLEAR_WARNINGS	Clear all warnings if any contain the name of a category	false	true

Usage

I recommend you add the service to your SABnzbd stack's docker-compose.yml:

sanitizer:
  image: treyturner/sabnzbd-sanitizer
  container_name: sabnzbd_sanitizer
  environment:
    - API_URL=http://your.ip.address.here:8080/api
    - API_KEY=your_sabnzbd_api_key
    - CATEGORIES=yyy
  restart: unless-stopped

If you aren't using docker-compose, you can start a container without it:

docker run -d --rm \
  -e API_URL=http://your.ip.address.here:8080/api \
  -e API_KEY=your_sabnzbd_api_key \
  -e CATEGORIES=yyy \
  treyturner/sabnzbd-sanitizer
