Sonarr + Seedbox

Help & Support
#1

Ok, I have searched, and read, and searched some more. I am running unRAID which is where my Sonarr install is. And then I have a seedbox with Deluge as my download client. I have sshfs setup with a remote path mapped and I can see the contents in a directory listing, however sonarr does not see anything in the locally mapped folder.

The message shown under the activity tab is:
Narcos.S02E07.PROPER.720p.WEBRip.X264-DEFLATE
No files found are eligible for import in /mnt/user/_complete/MP/Narcos.S02E07.PROPER.720p.WEBRip.X264-DEFLATE

Then in the locally mapped directory:
/mnt/user/_complete/MP/Narcos.S02E07.PROPER.720p.WEBRip.X264-DEFLATE

Within this folder is the .mkv file i need. Does it need to be in the high level folder? I would think not given the message I am getting.

#2

No, that’s the correct folder. If Sonarr can’t see it, permissions maybe?
Which file system is it mounted to locally?

#3

Yeah, I have been playing around with the permissions today. So on the local host the sonarr installation is running under nobody:users, I did this because I ran into issues with seeing media under other user ID’s on the array at one point.

I tried setting up the remote mount using -o allow_other. Previously I also could not see anything past the /MP point in the folder structure (which is where the local file system is mounted to) even in windows explorer. That is what lead me down the permissions path. I can now browse past that level and see everything in the folder on the remote host in windows, but sonarr still see’s nothing. The command I used is below. I think I just have something off still with permissions. Even if I create the directory, do a chown nobody:users MP, it sets the owner and group to a set of numbers.

sshfs -o allow_other user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/hd13/user/torrents/extracted /mnt/user/_complete/MP

And here is what I am getting for permissions on the foler.

user@server:/mnt/user/_complete/MP# ls -al
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 1 1051 1015 4096 Mar 21 13:34 ./
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 8 Mar 22 09:53 …/

Are there any files/folders in /mnt/user/_complete/MP? I assume there should be, but there aren’t any in the output.

I’m not familiar how best to configure sshfs for your setup, but you may be seeing uid/gids because the same user doesn’t exist on both sides.

#5

Yeah, I see them. Here is what I have on both ends.As you can see, I even tried changing the permissions to 777 on a couple of the folders to see if that would let sonarr see what was in there. That didn’t work.

Do you have hard links turned off?

Is Sonarr set to copy or move the files?

Is user@remoteserver the account that Sonarr daemon is actually running?

#7

Hardlinks was turned on actually. I will try turning it off.

I dont see anywhere to specify copying or moving the files, just whether or not to remove them from the download client.

user@remoteserver is not what Sonarr runs under. Im not sure I have the ability to create a new ID on the seedbox I am using, maybe. I could try that. And setting up sonarr under a different ID locally may be a bigger hassle.

#8

Turning off hard links did not make a difference.

#9

I’m just not familiar enough with sshfs to know what else to try

#10

Do you know of another way to allow Sonarr to communicate fully with a remote torrent client? It adds torrents and tracks their progress just fine, the portion I can’t figure out is getting the files moved back to my local storage.

#11

Did you post your logs yet?

It could be that the remote connection is not solid enough to transfer large files and the errors in the logs could indicate more details.
