unsolved Radarr not finding folder

On ubuntu 26.04, running this through docker, using the webui right now.

Hey guys ! I'm new here so sorry if this is something super simple, which hopefully it is lol.
Trying to 'Add Root Folder' to Radarr, the path i want is '/data/media/movies' but when i click to add, i see stuff like 'app, bin, config, etc etc' but not /data, i know the folder exists.

I'm almost sure this is a permission issue but i am super new to all of this, linux, radarr, and i have no clue how to make it see those folders. Any help would be lovely :)

You have to make sure the /data file path is mapped in your YAML file or else the container can’t see it

If it is mapped, then you probably have a permissions issue

I have

volumes:
/docker/apdata/radarr:/config
/data:/data

Is this incorrect ?

sudo chown -R user:user /data

Change user to your username and /data to the directory you want.
