New User - Confusion with Folder Paths, Deluge, *arr, etc.

[RedHotRiplets]

Hi, I think I have confused myself by watching too many TRaSH videos, and reading other information across the web so I figured I would come here for help. My folder structure is what Trash guides recommends. 

 

1. Below are what I have configured, does this look correct?

 

Deluge VPN

Docker: Path: /data: /mnt/user/downloads/

 

Inside Deluge app:

Download to: /data/incomplete

Move completed to: /data/completed

Extractor: Extract data to: /data/torrents/unzipped

 

Radarr:

Path: /media: /mnt/user/data/

Path: /data: /mnt/user/downloads/

 

Sonarr

Container path: /data: /mnt/user/downloads/

Container path: /media: /mnt/user/data/

 

I get the following error inside of Radarr: "You are using docker; download client Deluge places downloads in /data/torrents/tv but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings." How do I resolve this? I thought my data was mapped correctly, but this is where I am confused. 

 

2. I configured Prowlarr, and added both Radar and Sonar to it successfully. How does this work now? Do I search within Prowlarr, or Radarr/Sonarr? Both Radarr/Sonarr are giving me these errors:

- No indexers available with Automatic Search enabled, Radarr will not provide any automatic search results

- No indexers available with RSS sync enabled, Radarr will not grab new releases automatically

 

I thought Prowlarr centralized the trackers, but how does Prowlarr interact with Radarr/Sonarr?

 

I have more questions, but will start with these, and move on from there. 

 

Thanks!

Matt

All of your paths should be in data so that you can do hardlinking with atomic moves.

 

I'm not an expert I only just set this up in the past week or so, but I think you want your paths to look like this (it works for me anyway).

 

 

Your paths should be:

 

data/media/{movies/tv}

      /torrents/{movies/tv}

 

And mount from the base path in your apps so /mnt/users/data from your share and /data as the mount point. If anyone has better advice then take that but that's what I used and it works.

 

Also you need to add trackers to Prowlarr and it doesn't look like you did.

 

You search within sonarr/radarr or with overseerr if you set that up.

Aye with the container change recently, no longer do you want /data (container path) to map to /data/torrents

It's best to just do a 1:1 aka /data (container) to /data

 

otherwise you start running across all sorts of mapping issues (at least I've found)

Let me point out one thing.  Look at the screenshot below:

 

To Linux, these are two different directories as Linux is case-sensitive!  If you intended these to be a single directory, copy the files from the unwanted one to the desired one.  Then delete the unwanted directory.  (Window is not case sensitive and will display only one of these two directories.  Which one to be displayed seems to the one that is found first as the file structure is scanned...)
