nugget_35 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Looks like lots of people have had issues with this type of thing, but I haven't been able to resolve it from other posts. All my docker apps appear to be mapped the same, including the SABnzbd, with the /mnt/user/Total_Library/Downloads/ utilized. However I'm getting the Radarr error "You are using docker; download client SABnzbd places downloads in /config/Downloads/complete but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings." SABnzbd is using Download/incomplete and Downloads/complete. Ideally I would like completed downloads to end up in the /mnt/user/Total_Library/Downloads/ directory, and incomplete downloads stored somewhere (anywhere) else. Its says using absolute paths can go outside default folders, since all of them are located in the /config base folder, however when trying to use absolute paths I get an error saying that pathways cannot be created. I'm still new to all this so I've having a difficult time wrapping my head around the issue or how to resolve it. Any suggestions are appreciated! Quote Link to comment
Solution JonathanM Posted June 12 Solution Share Posted June 12 Try changing the base folder to /data instead of /config Quote Link to comment

That's because the absolute path you are using isn't correct. You are mapping /data to /mnt/user/Total_Library/Downloads/, so if you want the completed downloads to go there, the absolute path is /data and for incomplete downloads, the absolute path is /data/incomplete mapping is path substitution. container side = visible inside container. host side = where those files appear on the host.

Ok, so I created the path for /data/complete and /data/incomplete. The system did not want to allow me to do so via SAB settings, it threw and error, and file explorer would not let me do it for some permissions related reason saying I didn't have permission to change that directory (even though it's located under my share that I have read/write user access to). I was able to use terminal to create those two folders manually, and SAB now recognizes the absolute path as valid. So based on my limited understanding I believe the issue should be resolved, as long as I don't run into permissions issues within that directory for the files being moved in or out.
