Migrate From Mac to Synology NAS

I am attempting to migrate my sabnzbd install from my Mac to my new Synology. I have taken my sabnzbd.ini file from my Mac and renamed it config.ini overwriting the same file on the Synology. Once I do that the Synology instance is no longer reachable even if I ensure the address is correct in the config file.

Any ideas? Has anyone done this?

"no longer reachable" ... ?
But is it running?
If so: check the first occurence of "host" in sabnzbd.ini aka config.ini: it should be 0.0.0.0 to reach it from other devices on your LAN.

Check sabnzbd.log. This is good:

# cat ./volume1/@appstore/sabnzbd/var/logs/sabnzbd.log | grep web-interface
2020-03-22 18:13:50,055::INFO::[SABnzbd:1397] Starting web-interface on 0.0.0.0:8080

That will tell the IP address (must be 0.0.0.0, and not 127.0.0.1) and the port

Thanks! That worked. I copied my sabnzbd.ini to config.ini and changed the host line to 0.0.0.0.

I will change my folder locations for downloads. Is there really anything else that should be changed?

One other thing I see which is strange. When I try to navigate to my folder for example: /volume1/Movies/Kids/Movies under Categories -> Folder/Path, I can only see /volume1/Movies/ it shows no folders any deeper. I can navigate there in File Station, ssh, and mapped drives from my Mac. Permissions for my user shows R&W. Do I need to add permission for the sabnzbd user or just open it up for everyone as an option?

Nice.

Folders indeed. I can't think of anything else, because these are system indepent:
- newsserver credentials
- rss feeds
- api key
- ...

Please update us with your findings, becuae I find your use case (migrate settings) valid and useful.
