Sonarr missing permissions OMV5 SABnzbd Portainer

[rumjob]

Sonarr version (3.0.6.1342-ls128):
Mono version (5.20.1.34):
OMV 5.6.21-1:
**Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: /config/downloads/Loki/Season 1/Loki - S01E04 - The Nexus Event.mkv. Ensure the path exists and the user running Sonarr has the correct permissions to access this file/folder **:
Description of issue: I have set up sonarr and SABnzbd through portainer on my OMV server. My indexer and download client appear to be set up properly. Sonarr sends the download to sab and the download completes but sonarr doesn’t rename or move the file because of the above error.

I have the containers set up with the same PUID and PGID based off of user admin and I tried it before with the IDs associated with another user in my server with the same result. I’ve tried changing the permissions setting in sonarr as well as disabling the hard link option. I am very unfamiliar with Linux or servers in general so I’m not sure if I’m missing something obvious.

Your setup is just completely wrong.

What guide did you follow? It should be burned with fire.

Either use Sonarr or use Sab’s sorting function - you cannot use both.

Your paths are poor and will never ever work.

SAB is downloading directly into its config directory which is ill-advised and guaranteed to never work.

See trash’s docker tutorial and Sab guide

No not disable the hardlink option

And do not use any of the chmod/chown stuff in Sonarr if you do not know what you’re doing it is almost never needed.

Oh and don’t use portainer - it makes things much more difficult to manage than needed.

I’ve looked at hose guides and I understand keeping things in the same file system but I’m either doing it wrong or just don’t understand. Could I see how you have your file paths set up if you’re using SABnzbd? Later today I’m just going to clean everything up and do a fresh install of OMV again.

don’t use docker, so my paths would not help you

but my setup is the same way the guides are

not sure how it’s confusing

@bakerboy448

don’t use docker

How would I do that? Everything I look up to install sonarr or SABnzbd shows me a guide using docker or portainer.

[bakerboy448]

no I’m saying I don’t use docker, so my paths would not help you.

as previously stated - see trash’s guides; do not deviate

if you think you have your docker done right - then generate your docker compose for all your apps

Sorry, like I said I’m not very competent with Linux and all of these. The way that i have been setting up the containers in portainer is following the what it says on the hub.docker site. I find my uid and gid by using id user and inputting those values into the environment fields and keeping it consistent through containers.

The patching issue is what I’m most confused about and I can’t seem to understand why I’m having an issue with it. I’ve read through trash’s guides and understand the importance of having everything under the same file system. But I can’t seem to figure out how to change the base folder. I don’t pass through a volumes path for downloads or incomplete-downloads like the guides say and instead try to create a path in the GUI. SABnzbd is on my shared drive but it can’t seem to see anything outside of its own config folder. I wholly get why having the file system set up properly is important I just can’t seem to be able to actually get everything where it’s supposed to be.

I’m working on reinstalling OMV from fresh and updating everything. Afterwards I’ll go through installing SABnzbd, sonarr, and Plex more carefully and see if I can’t get different results.
