Local Path Mapping Not Working

[stakeout55]

Hey! Hope all is well. When I go to map the final destination for my movies and such, they always get dumped to "Storage->radarr" or "sonarr" -- thoughts? not the paths that I set in .env ... Thanks

[hjhart]

Can you attach a screen shot?

[stakeout55]

Yes I can. This is my path layout for .env

RSLSYNC_SECRET=(redacted)
RSLSYNC_SIZE=5000
PGID=1000
PUID=1000
TZ=America/New_York
MOVIE_DIR=/media/8TB/media/movies
TV_SHOW_DIR=/media/8TB/media/tv
STORAGE_DIR=/media/8TB/media/storage

Note that the storage directory is where auto-generated "radarr" and "sonarr" folders appeared and will download their respective files to.

What I had wanted to happen, is for radarr to dump its files into the /media/8TB/media/movies directory and for sonarr to do the same with the /media/8TB/media/tv directory

On either radarr or sonarr config, I found where Id map the local path as such:

yet when I go to select new locations, such as /media/8TB/media/movies for radarr there are no subfolders like seen here

This is the over-arching file structure yet none of them have subfolers excpet for downloads which then has only one directory, the radarrr (or sonarr if under sonarr) directory that is where radarr (or sonarr) currently displays these files going to (seen two images above)

Also to note, if I download any file NOT through radarr or sonarr, it will download with resilio to the 'storage' directory (which is fine, again, I just don't know where to configure that if I wanted to change that is all which i'm sure partly links to my radarr / sonarr issue lol

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong... I just can't figure out what! Thank you so much for your time!

Are you mounting the volumes in your docker-compose.yml file?

Example from mine:

  radarr:
    image: linuxserver/radarr:latest
    container_name: radarr
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 7878:7878
    volumes:
      - ./radarr/config/:/config
      - ${MOVIE_DIR}:/movies
      - ${STORAGE_DIR}/radarr:/downloads/radarr
  sonarr:
    image: linuxserver/sonarr:latest
    container_name: sonarr
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 8989:8989
    volumes:
      - ./sonarr/config/:/config
      - ${TV_SHOW_DIR}:/tv
      - ${STORAGE_DIR}/sonarr:/downloads/sonarr

Note specifically the non-config related volumes attached.

For example under radarr, is that you mean? Sorry, I'm having a tough time with this. I appreciate your help very much.

radarr: image: linuxserver/radarr:latest container_name: radarr restart: always ports:

• 7878:7878 volumes:
• ./radarr/config/:/config
• ${MOVIE_DIR}:/media/8TB/media/movies
• ${STORAGE_DIR}/radarr:/downloads/radarr env_file:
• .env

Okay, you've got it backwards.

Update your .env file so that you have this:

MOVIE_DIR=/media/8TB/media/movies
TV_SHOW_DIR=/media/8TB/media/tv
STORAGE_DIR=/media/8TB/media/storage

And then your docker-compose.yml file will look something like this: (most important key is the volume key).

  radarr:
    image: linuxserver/radarr:latest
    container_name: radarr
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 7878:7878
    volumes:
      - ./radarr/config/:/config
      - ${MOVIE_DIR}:/movies
      - ${STORAGE_DIR}/radarr:/downloads/radarr
  sonarr:
    image: linuxserver/sonarr:latest
    container_name: sonarr
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 8989:8989
    volumes:
      - ./sonarr/config/:/config
      - ${TV_SHOW_DIR}:/tv
      - ${STORAGE_DIR}/sonarr:/downloads/sonarr

That will allow radarr and sonarr to see downloads come in, synced from rsync, into your ${STORAGE_DIR} and move it into the MOVIE_DIR and the TV_SHOW_DIR.

Hey - thanks for the quick reply. I will try this tonight when I get home and report. I appreciate your patience.

Ok so I went ahead and altered my configurations... still a no go. There is no sign of the files being moved/copied to the locations mapped in the .env. Thoughts? Thanks
