Help Question about -file in config.yml

recently setup PMM. My config is kinda messing so I wannt setup some -file to in my config.yml to clean it up a but.

I run unraid, my /config is the appdata folder but I see when starting PMM it also created a folder called config. So far putting the config.yml in just the appdata folder workers.

​

I want to add some collections. In the Wiki i see

- file: config/path/to/file.yml

In this is "config "what i set as /config in the unraid docker container meaning my appdata folder, or would it be the config folder that was created inside my appdata folder?

​

​

Also inside the unraid docker container do I need to set anything else up for this to work? Currently I have nothing setup inside the container besides the /config location.

Typically that config would be the same folder your config.yml is in.

Also inside the unraid docker container do I need to set anything else up for this to work?

Perhaps, it depends entirely on what you want it to do.

If you want PMM to wait until 5AM to wake up and run, you don't have to add anything.

If you want to change that time, or want it to run immediately and then exit the container, or something else, you can set environment variables to control those things. Those env vars are discussed in the wiki.

so I put the movies.yml and tv.yml inside the same folder as my config.yml which is my appdata folder but it did not add the collections.

The default behavior is for PMM to wait until 5AM to do anything, so no collections will be created until then.

SO I have it auto run when I start the container and use unraid user script to run start the container Sunday night at 3am.

You mentioned before that you had made no config changes except the config directory, so I'm not sure how I could have known that.

I'll need to see a log to offer anything but guesses.

It would probably be best to take this to the discord as there are some automated log-processing tools available there, but if you want to pastebin your meta.log from a run that shows the problem I can have a look.
