Hello All, Noob here...

I currently have portainer setup and am trying to get sabnzbd setup properly. The following message is what I get in my arrstack apps like radarr/sonarr

"You are using docker; download client SABnzbd places downloads in /regcomplete but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings." Listed below are the volumes in my yaml coding for the sab container.

- '/mnt/regapps/sabnzbd/appdata/:/config'
- '/mnt/regdata/usenet/incomplete/:/regincomplete'
- '/mnt/regdata/usenet/complete/:/regcomplete'
- '/mnt/regdata/media/tv/:/regtv'
- '/mnt/regdata/media/movies/:/romovies'


So I am a bit confused and not sure what I need to say or do to fix my issue, so please go light on me.

TIA...

"You are using docker; download client SABnzbd places downloads in /regcomplete but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings."

... that is a very good, informative message. I wonder which app does that ... AFAIK it's not SABnzbd.

At least ... if it's true ...

So: because of your setting '/mnt/regdata/usenet/complete/:/regcomplete' ... are you a happy user because your downloads do arrive in /mnt/regdata/usenet/complete/ ?

EDIT:

The message is from Radarr

Code: Select all

~/git/Radarr$ grep -irn "but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container" *

src/NzbDrone.Core/Localization/Core/en.json:1604:  "RemotePathMappingCheckDockerFolderMissing": "You are using docker; download client {downloadClientName} places downloads in {path} but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container.  Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings.",
So: if you're happy with the downloading, and you think the Radarr message is noise, contact Radarr people.
