How to do a filebot install on a Ubuntu seedbox?

Post by MadMan »

Hello all, let me begin by saying that working in linux isn't really something that I know well... and honestly hardly at all, so any help at all is much appreciated.

I have a seedbox from these guys, http://www.tuvixhosting.com/shared-seedboxes/ and according to their information I have "full root access". I know how to login into my seedbox through putty, my home computer is a windows 7 box, and when I log in as root I see that my seedbox is running "Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab102.9 x86_64)" . Currently on my seedbox I run rutorrent and have the autotools setup to hardlink for me a version of the files to a folder named "Syncing" and the real files stay in a folder named "Seeding". My current setup involves LFTP'ing the files from the "Syncing" folder. Then which I have this automated system setup that autoruns the command line version of the filebot to rename and organize everything. However lately I have decided I want to change my work flow, due to various reasons, and want to have my seedbox using filebot rename everything in the "Syncing" folder before I download them to my home computer.

I have found this guide, http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-filebo ... e-systems/ & this info too. http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... edbox#p991
My question is before I start this process, is that I am scared of screwing everything up my seedbox, do you believe that the linked guide would work? I will be using putty to run all of the commands.

If anybody has any suggestions or guidance that would be great, if there is a some sort of existing guide to follow and somebody is willing to point me toward it that would be awesome too!

You'll need Java 8 and FileBot. You can "install" both by just copying files really. No permissions required.

"install" java => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N6hYNj_QzY
"install" filebot => get and unpack the portable package

Alternatively you can install filebot the Debian way, but that'll require root. Google will help with Oracle Java 8 and FileBot can be installed with the .deb package:
