I currently have two unRAID servers. Server #1 is used primarily for Plex. Server #2 is used for testing, archiving and running dockers such as Sab, Couchpotato, Sickrage and ZoneMinder. All the dockers have been running without issue. Currently I copy all completed downloads manually from Server #2 to Server #1. Both servers are running 6.3.3.

 

I have been trying to figure out a way to have the completed downloads in Sab to be renamed and moved directly to their final desired destination on Server #1 rather than transferring them manually from Server #2. Is it possible to map the container path of the completed downloads to an external location? It seems I'm only able to define the path to the same server the docker is running on.

 

My most recent test was to run Radarr on Server #1 with Sab on Server #2. Radarr is able to pass on the nzb to Sab and it is successfully downloaded it, but Radarr is not notified when the download is completed. In the container path I preceded the path of the completed download folder with the IP address of Server #2. Radarr returns an error that the path is incorrect and I should re-check if it was properly defined.

 

Is this a limitation using a docker or am I incorrectly entering the path name?

 

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Use the unassigned devices plugin to mount the remote share on the second server

 

Then add another mapping to the template of say /mnt/disks/server_b_movies (or whatever the path is that UD gives) mapped to /server_b_movies with an access mode of RW:Slave and have radarr move the completed movies to /server_b_movies

 

Thanks.

I would have never considered the share to be a unassigned device.

While all the various docker apps all technically do support accessing outside systems via smb, the thing you have to remember is that they are actually running on their own personal private network completely isolated from your LAN.  Hence, smb access won't work, and Unassigned Devices and mounting the remote share to the rescue.
