May 6, 20206 yr I'm running the rutorrent docker. Because it's a webapp, all mappings must be under /downloads/. This is set to my /mnt/user/downloads/ However, I need to map in other directories that aren't under /mnt/user/downloads/ such as /mnt/user/files/ So I've been told to map that to, say, /downloads/files/ My question is, when inside the container if I create a file or directory, say, /downloads/files/newdir/file How does the docker know whether to put it under /mnt/user/downloads/files/newdir or /mnt/user/files/newdir? I'm having a lot of issues where I can see my mappings inside the Docker console but not within the webapp itself.

You can go directly to the correct support thread for any of your dockers by simply clicking on its icon and selecting Support. But, since your question seems to be about not understanding docker mappings in general, let's stay here instead. 8 minutes ago, cinereus said: I've been told Do you have a link to this advice?
May 6, 20206 yr Author When I searched there was one rutorrent and one rtoreny. I have linuxserver/rutorrent. I got the support through their discord channel. I think you're right that I don't understand the mappings in general. In a situation like this when there's a clear ambiguity, how is it resolved?

May 6, 20206 yr Author It was a long discussion, not a single quote. It needs access to other shares for two reasons: - to move files to the right place after they have been downloaded - to have access to the synced watch folder
