Hi Everyone,
I have upgraded my 10 old NAS to a Synology DS918+ NAS sometime ago and started SABnzbd this weekend in a Docker environment.
I've created some shared folders on my NAS, like this:
- configs (for the Docker configs)
- docker (installed by Docker)
- Downloads (for all my downloads)
- Movies (where the movies are)
- Shows (for the tv series)
etc
What I would like is that when I use SONARR or RADARR the downloaded and renamed stuff get's sorted in the following folders:
- Movies (for all my movies)
- Shows (for all my tv-shows)
But I noticed that when I want to use SABnzbd's - Categories I can't set these folders in "Folder/Path" because they don't show.
Files are downloaded and when they are okay they show up in my shared folder -Download but not in the folder -Movies or -Shows
I know for sure I'm overseeing something but can't figure out my issue/problem.
Is there anyone who could tip/help me on this one

Re: SABnzbd / Docker on Synology NAS
Hi, I may have had this same issue and solved it if I am understanding your problem correctly. When installing SAB/Sonarr/Radarr, you should have granted it access to the folders it needs.
SAB - Config Folder + Downloads Folder
Radarr - Config Folder + Downloads Folder (Same as SAB and Sonarr) + Media folder for movies
Sonarr - Config Folder + Downloads Folder (Same as SAB and Radarr) + Media folder for shows
What I found out is that does not actually assign the programs to use those folders. It just allowed them to see them. You will need to go into SAB settings and change the download folders to the ones you told Sonarr and Radarr to point at. Otherwise, it just creates its own download folder in its config folder.
SAB > Cog(Configuration) > Folders + Change Temp Download folder + Change Completed Download folder
Hopefully this helps.
