FreeBSD

  1. Download a package from the latest release.
  2. Install it with pkg add -f (the force flag is required because the package has a bug)
  3. Edit the config file at /etc/unpackerr/unpackerr.conf, or generate one and start it.
  4. Not many folks use FreeBSD, but we can try to help if you drop by the Discord.
Archive Access

Unpackerr requires write access to your download location. Make sure you set the path variables correctly in the configuration. Even if they're set incorrectly Unpackerr makes a best effort attempt to locate your downloads. If it can't find your downloads, then the path or paths variables need to be adjusted.

Permissions

On FreeBSD the app runs as user nobody. That's not very good and will probably change in the future. If you know how to change it, please let me know so we can update this page.
