SABnzbd Forums

Hi guys,

Just finished setting up SAB on my docker system. I want to direct downloads to my external harddrive which is outside of the /config folder.

I don't know how to enter the -f command in docker compose file...

Any directions??

Thanks, Dennis

Arw you using the standard linuxserver.io Docker images we suggest? They should include this, I think. Although I'm not a Docker person myself..

Hi, yeah, linuxserver image present..! Something like a tutorial how to fix this?

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/sabnzbd tells it all.

Focus on "-v path to downloads:/downloads \",

so, for example

"-v /media/diskstation/downloads:/downloads \"

I set the path to the download folder in the docker-compose file , but base config folder stays /config.

downloads don't end up on my mounted external disk...

You can set all directories (download/incomplete/category/script/etc.) in sab to any directory of your choice by specifying an absolute (full) path. In linux systems such as your ubuntu system inside docker, a path is considered absolute if it starts with a /.
