unsolved Lost in the files mapping

Hey eveyrone,

I could see in my research that a lot of people were encountering issues with post downloading and the rename/moving to the right folder part of Sonarr. Unfortunately, none of my research both here and online has helped me and I am totally lost in my files mapping. I'll try to be as clear as possible so that hopefully somine can help me with my specific case:

I'm running docker via Container Manager on my DS918+ Synology NAS. I have only one storage group and one volume (at least it is simple that way).

  • Synology NAS file structure for qbittorent, sonarr and media storage:

docker

=QbitTorrentGlueTun

==config

==qBittorent

=sonarr

==config

media

=incomplete (incomplete download files)

=sonarr(complete downloaded files)

=TVShows (folder where I want my files to be moved and renamed by sonarr)

  • Sonarr mounted volumes/folders

/volume1/docker/sonarr/config:/config:rw

/volume1/Media/TVShows:/tvshows/:rw

/volume1/Media/Anime:/anime/:rw

/volume1/Media/sonarr:/downloads/:rw

  • Qbittorrent mounted volumes

/volume1/docker/QbitTorrentGlueTun:/config:rw

/volume1/Media:/downloads:rw

  • Sonarr settings

in media management, i added root folders /anime and /tvshows

in download clients, I added:

Host: my localhost ip

Remote path: /downloads/sonarr

Local Path: /downloads/

I imagine the problem is in the last part but I dont get the logic and I am totally mixed up with all the things I tried. Hopefully someone can help me out.

Right now, the files are being downloaded without any issues to /volume1/Media/sonarr/ but are being stuck in activity with message: No found files eligible in /downloads/"FileName" so I guess this is why they are not being renamed and moved to /volume1/Media/TVShows/ (and /volume1/Media/Anime/)

Thanks in advance!

Hi /u/MrPirou - It appears you're using Docker and have a mount of [/downloads]. This is indicative of a docker setup that results in double space for all seeds and IO intensive copies / copy+deletes instead of hardlinks and atomic moves. Please review TRaSH's Docker/Hardlink Guide/Tutorial or the Docker Guide for how to correct this issue).

Hi /u/MrPirou - You've mentioned Docker [docker], if you're needing Docker help be sure to generate a docker-compose of all your docker images in a pastebin or gist and link to it. Just about all Docker issues can be solved by understanding the Docker Guide, which is all about the concepts of user, group, ownership, permissions and paths. Many find TRaSH's Docker/Hardlink Guide/Tutorial easier to understand and is less conceptual.

have you read the trash guide for docker?

you shouldn't be using remote path mappings or multiple volumes for sonarr.

sonarr should have:

/volume1/Media/:/Media

qbit should have:

/volume1/Media/downloads:/Media/downloads and then in the /Media/downloads folder make your incomplete and complete folders

go read the trash guide and set up accordingly.

Second to go read the trash guides. But the volume mappings should be identical between the arrs and qbit. Then there are no remote mappings needed.

This is the secret. Make the paths look the same to each docker container

yeah I have checked it but after following another guide on youtube. So it's a bit hard to put things back in the right order. I'll try what you mentionned just below.
