[OSX] Install_service_macos

[Eldoc62]

Hi All,

Since I repaired my disk permissions on macos I can not get jackett up and running anymore. Against it starts on the terminal. Just in use I have an error:

I'm all update but impossibl to install service macos

I put the write and read rights to "everyone" on the jackett folder ...

It's not enough I have to put all the volume ??

Thank you

you may also need to change the permissions for the ~/.config/Jackett/ folder.

Hi and thank you :)

You know where i cherch ?

[garfield69]

the dot folders are hidden by default on macos. https://www.howtoisolve.com/guide-to-show-hidden-files-on-macos/

Hi and thank you,

I've make :

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true; killall Finder

It's ok i find .config

I make :

sudo chmod -R 777 /Volumes/HDD_1/.config/Jackett

it's ok... But always the same defaut

[garfield69]

well I am out of ideas. macos is not my usual platform so I don't have a lot of experience with it. Ping to any volunteers that can assist this user with his permissions issue?

Ok thanks for your HELPS ;)

I make :

sudo chmod -R 777 /Volumes/HDD_1/Library/LaunchAgents sudo chmod -R 777 /Volumes/HDD_1/.config/Jackett

and i've :

Hello, first, you should not chmod things to 777 as a quick way to get things working. A better way, in the case of LaunchAgents, is to look at what the permissions of the others that are working.

/Library/LaunchAgents are the system agents and are owned by root:wheel so you should chown them to this. The max permissions they should have would be 755. 777 won't work because it is expecting a specific user/group to have access.

If you are just running Jackett as yourself as the user that is logged in all the time, a more appropriate place for it is in your user Library: ~/Library/LaunchAgents which is less restrictive and just has your user permissions so you probably won't have to deal with changing all that.

Hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for the return.

I do not understand your advice. Here is the installation log's

Maybe we understand each other better because my rights look good as well as the location of the files. It seems to me no?

@Eldoc62 As per man launchctl:

Note that per-user configuration files (LaunchAgents) must be owned by [...] the user loading them (if they are located in $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents). [...] Configuration files must disallow group and world writes.

This means that doing chmod 777 on all relevant files will actually prevent them from loading. That's what laucnhctl is telling you:

Path had bad ownership/permissions

Therefore, you should run cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents; chmod 644 org.Jackett.plist; chmod 755 . ; before attempting to run the install script again. This should, of course, be done after downloading the latest Jackett binaries for macOS and extracting them to where you want/have Jackett installed.

PS: Something weird with your logs is that your shell seems to consider /Volumes/HDD_1/ as your home folder but this seems to be the root of one of your hard drives. The home folder should be /Users/nicolasv (if nicolasv is your username). Maybe check that with cd; pwd.

Hello! I'm having the same problem here but I am not sure if is related to file permissions. The console error executing install_service through Terminal is:

/Applications/Jackett/install_service_macos ; exit;

Actually I'm starting Jackett directly from Terminal but that requires an open Terminal window constantly.
