whitewraith Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 So if i set up jackett and radarr and sonarr with qbittorrent can I have it download to a share called downloads on my cache drive then manually move them to their respective shares Movies and TVShows using Krusader onto the array. I would rather just seed back from the cache drive until 1:1 is met and then delete from cache drive. I dont really want the downloads on my array and I am not really downloading all that much. Or would it be better to have a unassigned drive to download to and seed from? Quote Link to comment
Energen Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 You can do it any way you want, it's your computer. I probably wouldn't use krusader though, I'd just use SMB shares. Quote Link to comment
Gragorg Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Look up spaceinvader one videos on youtube. Yes you can automate the whole process. Quote Link to comment

I can see my shares in windows file expolrer under network but I havent created them under the SMB section of UnRaid. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 SMB is another name for the standard Windows protocol for accessing shares over the network. You set them up under the Shares tab on Unraid. Quote Link to comment
whitewraith Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 I am running into something strange now that I have remote torrent adder sending torrents to my qbittorrent web gui on my unraid server. I changed the save path to: /mnt/user/Downloads/Incomplete, it starts to download but then tapers off in speed till it stalls out about 5 seconds. If I change it back to the default location /config/qbittorent/downloads it starts up and grabs it in mere minutes. I am not sure what is wrong here and why changing it to save to the share i want is killing it from downloading. Anyone seen this before? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Containers are sort of like their own little computer, they don't have access to anything unless you map it in their set up configuration. Read through this entire article. https://wiki.unraid.net/What_are_the_host_volume_paths_and_the_container_paths Quote Link to comment

Read through this entire article. https://wiki.unraid.net/What_are_the_host_volume_paths_and_the_container_paths I have read the article and I believe that my containers are pointed to the proper location for downloads to go. /mnt/user/Downloads/Incomplete and in the webui for qbittorrent I have the default path set as the same path.

This is how I do it now, but come version 6.9 I'll transition this to a dedicated pool. Once a download completes, it is moved by the torrent client to a completed folder, from there it is grabbed by my media searcher (such as Sonarr docker) and copied to media folder on array.

So in the qbittorrent docker the host path is mnt/user/Downloads/Incomplete the Container Path is /data Is this what you are asking for? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 3 minutes ago, whitewraith said: the Container Path is /data So, you are telling qbittorent to save the downloads to /data, correct? Quote Link to comment
whitewraith Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 I need to change the container path to the same path as the host right? Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Just to close the loop on this, you need to tell the application to use /data, which is the container path. The application can't know anything about the host path, /mnt/user/Downloads. All dockers work this way. Understanding volume mapping is 90% of knowing how to setup any docker. 1 Quote Link to comment
