I want to preface this by saying I'm SUPER bad at understanding unraid and linux but had a perfectly working setup using the TRaSH guides and qbittorrent. Anyway, I switched to RDT-client, and disabled the qbittorrent container and gluetun, and everything downloads perfectly fine but doesnt get imported by sonarr or radarr.

 

Here is an imgur album with the relevant info. https://imgur.com/a/630vRO7 I am not at all sure what to add in 'Download path' or 'Mapped path' in the RDT-client settings under download client. I am not sure how to set up remote path mapping with the settings I have. I did try to follow the trash guides and the github documentation for RDT-client but its not working as you can see. Thank you so much for any help!

Ugh, same question, but I see no one answered you  If you figured it out, please share. Thx

Please excuse any mistakes. I tried to make this as clear as I could considering how convoluted this process is. 

 

Lets walk through the API communication pathway to understand this better.

1. Arr sends download request to RDT.
2. RDT gets file.
3. RDT tells Arr that file is complete and look in this mapped folder to find it. (This folder mapping is defined by RDT and not Arr || No remote mapping is needed in ARR itself, only RDT)
4. Arr looks in that folder and completes post download process.

 

The key to getting this to work is to map a download folder on both docker instances through the unraid interface.

In this example map I want to make sure both containers have access to the following by clicking "Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device":

• Container Path: /data/foldernameyouwant/
• Host Path: /mnt/user/data/foldernameyouwant/

 

Make sure that "/data/foldernameyouwant/" or even the upstream folder of "/data/" accessible. 

 

Now it is time to set this up inside RDT

 

1. Complete step above to Map path in all docker instances /data/foldernameyouwant/
2. Go to Settings at top of RDT
3. Click Download Client
4. Change Mapped path & Download Path to the same download folder that Arr & RDT have access to. Example: /data/foldernameyouwant/
5. Check System->Status in Arr program to see if the error is resolved

 

Note: "Download path" is the download folder for manually added downloads/blackhole and not for Arr support. That is where this gets a bit confusing. Mapped path is for Arr. Set both to the same directory to take any guess work out of the equation.

 

 

Edit: You must add RDT-Client details in the Arr program under download clients. Use "qBittorrent" since the RDT emulates that. Make sure there is no category assigned. Check under settings and look to make sure Arr can see the /data/foldernameyouwant

 

 

Good luck!

Now if I could just figure out Gluetun setup with docker instances but still maintain local pass throughs I would be over the moon.

Hi,

For this to work there are 2 things you need to configure in your gluetun container (assuming all your apps using gluetun have their network type set to container and container set to gluetun)

First set the variable FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS to the subnet corresponding to your LAN (example: 192.168.1.0/24 for a local network in the range 192.168.1.x with the subnet 255.255.255.0)

Secondly you need to map the corresponding port of your app using gluetun on the gluetun container itself. So, on the container edit page, you simply add a new port. As an example for rdtclient , you add a new port, name it how you want and set the host port and container port to 6500.

Hope this helps.

Wow, after all this time I came back here to try to remove remote path mappings and this seems to work, thanks so much! Question, if (in the download client settings) I add 'tv' as a category to sonarr (as it recommends), for example, I get this error: "You are using docker; download client qBittorrent places downloads in /mnt/user/data/downloads/tv but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings."

The only way to resolve this would be remote path mappings, right? Which im trying to get away from. I guess according to the ai overview on google there's another way but it seems much more confusing and I dont want to do it lol. Thank you!
