joyless Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Then why did you say When i double click the finished torrent, it says the location is "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming/" With those mappings, when you double click the finished torrent it should say the location is /downloads. well, that's what is says on webUI... i just checked the logs (probably should have started with that) and: Couldn't create "/mnt/cache": Permission denied (file-posix.c:189) error moving "/config/incomplete/abcd.mkv" to "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming//abcd.mkv": Unable to create directory for new file: Permission denied (torrent.c:3162) i also noticed double forward slash "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming//abcd.mkv", which im quite sure shouldnt be there? permissions on /mnt/cache and /mnt/cache/downloads/incoming are: drwxrwxrwx 9 nobody users 248 Jan 15 14:57 cache/ drwxrwx--- 4 nobody users 384 Jan 17 18:35 downloads/ drwxrwx--- 2 nobody users 48 Jan 18 01:16 incoming/ Quote Link to comment

If it is the log from the transmission docker itself then that just further illustrates what I have been saying. The container doesn't know anything about the path "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming". It is going to refer to that host path as "/downloads". If you click on the wrench button at the bottom of the Transmission webUI, what does it say for "Dowload to"? Quote Link to comment

When you first add a torrent, the user interface lets you override the default download location. When you added the torrent, did you perhaps tell it to download it to "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming"? I see from your post history that you used to use PhAzE plugins. Is it possible that somehow you have resumed a torrent that was originally added from a plugin version of Transmission and you are reusing the Transmission appdata from that plugin? Probably should have asked this long ago. Post your docker run command. Quote Link to comment

When you added the torrent, did you perhaps tell it to download it to "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming"? i'm sure i don't have them backwards "Download to" in webUI is /downloads, settings.json is "download-dir": "/downloads", this happens with every new torrent that i add. I see from your post history that you used to use PhAzE plugins. Is it possible that somehow you have resumed a torrent that was originally added from a plugin version of Transmission and you are reusing the Transmission appdata from that plugin? no, when i moved to Docker few days ago i started fresh - new config and no old torrents. Probably should have asked this long ago. Post your docker run command. here it is: root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="transmission" --net="bridge" -e TZ="Europe/Warsaw" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "PUID"="99" -e "PGID"="100" -p 9091:9091/tcp -p 51413:51413/tcp -v "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming":"/downloads":rw -v "/mnt/cache/appdata/transmission/watch":"/watch":rw -v "/mnt/cache/appdata/transmission":"/config":rw linuxserver/transmission eabccd67462d3e7fd65091a99e98856946f514c06c1ad621179994ff95a53f04 Quote Link to comment

When you first add a torrent, the user interface lets you override the default download location. When you added the torrent, did you perhaps tell it to download it to "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming"? No, I did not tell the app to use any other folder. I just started messing with my config and noticed something weird. I changed the mappings and "Download to" in webUI to something random: "/mnt/cache/appdata/transmission/test" and "/abc" respectively. When I add new torrent and doubleclick it in webUI, it say the location is "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming". Docker logs also show same permission error in "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming" folder. How is this possible? I chaged docker mappings and application settings to point to entirely different locations. I restarted the Docker after making changes. /confused edit: okay, after further testing it seems that no matter what I type in "Download to:" (or how I change settings.json), upon completing the download, Transmission tries to move the files to "/mnt/cache/downloads/incoming", which results in permissions error.

trurl Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 /confused It is certainly confusing. Obviously have done something wrong but we haven't been able to discover what it is. Maybe you should just start over with this docker by removing it, deleting its appdata and adding it back by selecting the LSIO transmission again from CA so you get started with a new template instead of selecting it from your Previous Apps.

But since I can't see exactly what you are doing I don't know what it is. Do you have any other working dockers? Quote Link to comment

Do you have any other working dockers? i dont really see what i could have done wrong i even set the docker mappings to different folder "/mnt/cache/appdata/test" this time, changed the ports and used default settings.json, download location location in webGUI is still /mnt/cache/downloads/incoming i have filebot docker running with no problems. edit: so yeah, i just removed docker.img and appdata folder, reinstalled transmission docker from command line (skipping CA), used fresh, untouched install, and boom, there it is: /mnt/cache/downloads/incoming...

trurl Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 /mnt/cache/downloads/incoming This path doesn't exist anywhere in the LSIO template for this docker or in their dockerfile. If you really started over these are the only places we would have to look to find it. You must have entered it somewhere or pointed the volume mappings to it or pointed the volume mappings to some files that had it in them. Quote Link to comment
