HellaPhone

(Update) Hellaphone will soon become a service. How soon? I don’t know. I’m a busy person with a side project or two. But it is close to release.

HellaPhone is an iPhone front end to HellaNZB written in PHP using the CakePHP framework.Quick install:

  1. Download HellaPhone.zip or HellaPhone.tgz.
  2. Unzip to your web directory.
  3. rename hella.php.sample in the “hellaphone/app/config” directory to hella.php
  4. edit the hella.php file to match your HellaNZB settings. Most can leave the defaults just change the ‘your server here’ to the ip or hostname of your server.
  5. chmod the “hellaphone/app/tmp” directory with “chmod -R 777
  6. That’s it. Point your web browser to your server/hellaphone/.

Having trouble? Drop me a line from the Contact Page. Requirements:

  • http://Newzbin.com Account
  • hellaNZB install
  • PHP5 w/ curl support

(Update)

I had some interest to open source this and gladly obliged. You can now find it hosted with google code ->

svn checkout http://hellaphone.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ hellaphone

Roadmap

Work is being started to complete HellaPhone. If you have any suggestions please feel free to drop a line. Some of the things I would like to get done for a second rev are the following:

  • integrate iui for the interface and behavior
  • track status of downloads and queues
  • fix non-working things like the “remember me” function
