[solved] Configuring docker (sab) to be able to write to array

[jamesk9]

Im still trying to grasp this docker concept.

I cannot configure sab to write to a usershare on my array. (see attached screencaptures)

 

The docker is installed on a 'cache only' user share but cant write to the \mnt\user.  Sab is generating a "Post processing error. Cannot create final folder /mnt/user/Media/movies_temp/"

 

Running unraid beta12

 

Is there something Im doing/not doing?

You have told the container that you want it to refer to /mnt/user as /downloads. So in the app, instead of /mnt/user you should instead say /downloads.

 

You have your Temporary Download Folder as /config/Downloads/incomplete. So with the way you have /config defined that will be /mnt/cache/apps_cache/docker/sabnzbd/config/Downloads/incomplete in unRAID. That is OK if you want it to go to your cache drive.

 

Also, you say docker is installed on a cache-only share, but it is not clear what is meant by this. Do you mean the docker.img file itself?

 

In any case, your apps_cache share should be set to cache-only if it isn't already.

Great!  Will re-configure my folders.  And yes the *.img is on a cache only share and the app_cache share is cache only.

 

Thanks

I hadn't realized that the container volume sections were defining the associated paths in the array.

 

thanks.. slowly grasping how the containers interact with unraid.

 

All working now!
