Confused about Factory configuration

Help & Support
1

Hi,

Love the program. I have been using it for most of the summer. However when I recently switched over to Unraid 6 and the docker system I have come across some problems (this is related to NZBGet to Drone not docker).

I have my NZBget setup to download to /mnt/cache/usenet/downloads/dst/TV.

I aimed my drone factory to the same directory. Everything processes nicely, folder gets cleaned up. But I get a message in NZBdrone system that “Completed Download Handling conflict with Drone Factory (Conflicting History Item)”

I have completed download handling enabled and remove enabled.

Can someone steer me in the right direction on this? I tried a different directory for drone factory, but then it doesnt process my downloads from NZBget.

Thanks

Is the path: /mnt/cache/usenet/downloads/dst/TV available from within the docker image?

You should set drone factory to a different folder and let completed download handling do the importing, which may require a slight configuration change if that pathbisnt available.

Hi yes, if you mean is it available to the drone image?
I have it mounted as /downloads in the drone docker

Thats the issue, nzbget reports a path under /mnt/cache/usenet/downloads/dst/TV as the final destination, but since its mapped as /download to drone running in the docker image it can’t find it (your logs would show this), you have two choices:

  • Set the path the same in the docker image
  • Use Category Local Path under nzbget’s settings (only visible when advanced settings are shown)

Thanks for your help. So in the docker image I need to mount /mnt/cache/usenet/downloads/dst/TV as /mnt/cache/usenet/downloads/dst/TV instead of /downloads?

Either that or set the Category Local Path to /downloads (in drone’s settings for nzbget), which may not have been clear in my last response.

Thanks so much for your help. I didnt have access to my NAS earlier so I switched Category Local to /downloads and that seems to be working nicely.

I am not sure if one is preferable over the other, but if this works I should be set.

Thanks again

Category local path would also work on different servers where paths can’t be the same (between Windows/Linux), in your case both will have the same effect and you get a shorter path.
