Install NZBMegaSearch Ubuntu 15.x •

NZBMegaSearch is the only search provider you will need. It aggregates all of your usenet indexers into one search engine. NZBMegaSearch has NZBGet and Sabnzbd integration so you can send your desired release straight to your downloader. You can also use it for services like sonarr (NzbDrone), SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar and Headphones so that the service will only need to use NZBMegaSearch to look for your content, it won't have to search each individually. You will host this awesome search aggregator service on your home media server which means it will always be on and available. If you do open it up to outside networks, do password protect it and use https for security. This guide is for Ubuntu 15.x and includes an NZBMegaSearch systemd script to autostart it on boot.
