Back again with another question.

 

I used the couchpotato PLUGIN for a couple of weeks without any problems (except sometimes erratic file rename issues..). until I messed up my config (moving to a cache array, being stupid a couple of times.. etc.). After that Couchpotato plugin didn;t want to install (Install file missing, no pid created etc.) So i moved to a Docker. Which works perfect! Except.. after the download (with transmission) completes it removes the downloaded file, but does not copy it to the desired directory! I wasted multiple downloaded gigs this way.

 

Docker (from linuxserver) setup:

 

Config location: /mnt/cache/appdata/couchpotato

Data location: /mnt/cache/download_complete

Media location: /mnt/disks/movies/Movies (partition is called movies as well so no typo here)

 

Had this something to do with write rights? Something else entirely?

 

Thanks in advance 

I think the problem could be due to the fact that the Media location on an Unassigned Disk, and they are not mounted when the Docker service initially starts.  If so you could be moving them to RAM (and thus filling it up) rather than the desired physical disk.  If that is the case then stopping/restarting the docker after the array is started should resolve the issue (and provide a test of whether that is actually the problem).

Thank you for your reply.

Alas, this is not the problem. I restarted the docker app multiple times and it does not seem to do anything. Strange thing is , I set the log file to be outside the docker (within the download folder) and it does not show up. Could this be a permission issue?

 

Thanks again.

Cheers.

I think you have to restart the docker service itself, not just the specific docker container.

Restarting docker didn't work either, although now I have another problem which may interfere with this question. Unraid can't reach 'the interweb' .. 

ISP sent another router with a fixed static IP different in range from the old one, so from:

192.168.1.xxx

To:

192.168.2.xxx

 

After I gave unraid another static ip (192.168.2.253) (different from the DHCP lease range .100 - .160) it just refuses to connect to the internet. It CAN ping my modem (192.168.1.254), but no internet.

Setting it to receive IP from DHCP didn't' change a thing..

 

Should I start a new thread on this problem before resolving de couchpotato one?

 

Thank you for your time!

 

 

Correction.

CHanging DHCP AND restarting did the trick, but still. I want a static IP!!

 

Update: Manual downloading works fine, so it has te be a couch problem  :'(
