Every build is a single self-contained executable: repair (par2) and unpack (RAR) are embedded. Unzip, run the launcher, answer three questions, download.
The NzbFast app: drag to Applications and go. Universal (Apple Silicon and Intel), dashboard in its own window, .nzb double-click, Start at Login.
The installer sets up a tray app (no console window), Start Menu entry, optional start-with-Windows and .nzb double-click. Fully static, no runtime to install; it can also adopt your existing SABnzbd config.
Static musl builds for x86_64 and arm64: seedboxes, VPSes, any NAS with SSH, Raspberry Pi 4/5. No glibc-version roulette.
Multi-arch image (amd64 + arm64) on Docker Hub and ghcr, linuxserver-style PUID/PGID entrypoint, healthcheck, compose file. Also the path for Unraid, TrueNAS SCALE and QNAP Container Station.
docker run -d -p 6789:6789 \ -v ./config:/config -v ./downloads:/downloads -v ./watch:/watch \ nzbfast/nzbfast
Runs on DSM 7 through Container Manager: search nzbfast in
the Registry, download, map three folders and port 6789. No config file to edit:
add your provider in the dashboard's Welcome panel.
Formula with a service block (brew services start nzbfast).
brew install nzbfast/tap/nzbfast
Start nzbfast (mac: .command, windows: .bat), or just ./nzbfast setup in a terminal.http://localhost:6789. Drop an .nzb anywhere on it, or point Sonarr/Radarr at it as a SABnzbd client.Upgrading is replacing one file. Settings, queue and history live next to your config and survive restarts and upgrades.
cargo build --release from source is expected to work (rustls, no OpenSSL); officially untested. PAR2 repair and RAR unpack are native on every platform.
