Jdownloader2
Jdownloader2
JDownloader is a direct download manager that supports the most popular file sharing services. By copying the URL containing the files you want to download, the program will just add them automatically to its download list thanks to the link grabber feature. This software is 100% free and Open Source.
JDownloader is since many years my favorite download manager. He has indeed many positive points:
- supports an impressive number of hosts (Uptobox, Rapidshare, Youtube, ... 1file.)
- Java-based platform
- support for multi-site premium subscriptions such alldebrid.com
- supporting different types of captchas
- controllable via a dedicated Android app or better a simple browser (my.jdownloader.org)
- Free and open-source
Only an account is needed from my.jdownloader.org to use Jdownloader2
Howto
prepare and download
- You need first to install java
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk
- you need to make a folder
mkdir /usr/share/JD2
- you need to download the java file
cd /usr/share/JD2 wget http://installer.jdownloader.org/JDownloader.jar
set JD
here you need an account with your password from http://my.jdownloader.org/
- now you can launch the java software
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /usr/share/JD2/JDownloader.jar
JD2 will ask to update, answer yes (y), then it need to restart
- launch again the java software
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /usr/share/JD2/JDownloader.jar
here it will ask your jdownloader account.
start at boot time
now when you launch the command above your JD instance is able to run. we have to create an init script to run JD at the boot time
- create the jdownloader system user
/sbin/e-smith/create-system-user jdownloader 810 "Jdownloader server" /var/lib/jdownloader /bin/bash
- set good ownership
chown jdownloader:jdownloader /usr/share/JD2/ -R
- create the db entry
db configuration set jdownloader service status enabled
- create the initscript
vim /etc/rc.d/init.d/jdownloader
and paste this
#!/bin/sh

esac
we need to get that script executable
chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/init.d/jdownloader
and set the time when we want it starts
chkconfig --add jdownloader ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S90jdownloader signal-event remoteaccess-update
Retrieve the downloads
we need to make a samba fragment
vim /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/91jdownloader
{ my $status = $jdownloader{'status'} || "disabled";
return " # jdownloader is disabled in smb.conf"
unless $status eq 'enabled';
{
my @jdownloader_smb_users = split(",", ($jdownloader{'Smbusers'} || "") );
$OUT .= "[jdownloader]\n";
$OUT .= "comment = jdownloader download folder\n";
$OUT .= "path = /var/lib/jdownloader\n";
$OUT .= "valid users \= admin ";
foreach my $jdownloader_smb_users (@jdownloader_smb_users)
{
$OUT .= " $jdownloader_smb_users";
}
$OUT .="\n";
$OUT .= "force user = jdownloader\n";
$OUT .= "force group = jdowloader\n";
$OUT .= "read only = no\n";
$OUT .= "browsable = yes\n";
$OUT .= "writable = yes\n";
$OUT .= "create mode = 0644\n";
$OUT .= "directory mask = 0755\n";
}
}
then
signal-event workgroup-update
and create the download folder and allow the jdownloader user
mkdir /var/lib/jdownloader chown jdownloader:jdownloader /var/lib/jdownloader -R
