I am confused about using Radarr in docker. Right now, I am using the community package of radarr, and I want to instead start using radarr in docker. I have radarr configured and running in docker, but I have something basic wrong.
I have followed this guide - Radarr in Docker on a Synology NAS - and I have have radarr running in docker.
So I set the variable "/movies" to be the folder I usually download my movies to ("Movies-2020-DS1019" in my case; this works best for me, and I don't want to change the structure, or add a new structure that I have to point Plex to, if I can help it).
Since I am running SABnzd as a downloader, also as a community package and not as a docker image, I also set the variable "/downloads" to be "downloads", which is where SABnzd downloads to.
Then I went and added my "docker-user" account to the permissions on both of those folders, so docker containers could access them.
And then I was able to go into radarr, add a movie, search for that movie, download that movie ... but it never finished importing, saying it couldn't find any files to import. Yet the file was there, in the "downloads/complete" folder with the usual obfuscated name from a newsgroup download. So it all downloaded correctly, but radarr couldn't do the final step of renaming the file, moving it to the folder structure, and kicking off a Plex library re-scan.
Radarr says "You are using docker; download client Sabnzbd places downloads in /volume1/downloads/complete but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings.". But I have set "/downloads" to be "downloads" in the Volume section of the container.
I missed something basic. But what? Do I need to specify "downloads/complete" to map to "/downloads/complete"? I see the "docker-user" in the permissions of the "downloads" folder, and all it's sub-folders ...
Thanks. I'm quite new to docker and containers ...
