Sonarr V3 and Transmission Docker installs: downloads don't move/get imported when finished

Help & Support
1

Sonarr version (exact version): Version 3.0.1.378
Package Version 3.0.1.378-ls21 by linuxserver.io

OS: Ubuntu 18.10

Description of issue:

Sonarr sends torrent to Transmission and TM downloads it just fine, but Sonarr does not import the files when they are finished. I’ve tried manually importing and I get |Error|DownloadedEpisodesImportService|Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: in my logs.

My Docker install commands are as follows:

sudo docker create \
--name=transmission \
--restart=always \
-v /home/beastnas/transmission/config:/config \
-v /media/storage/downloads:/downloads \
-v /media/storage/watch:/watch \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 9091:9091 -p 51413:51413 \
-p 51413:51413/udp \
linuxserver/transmission


sudo docker create \
  --name=sonarr-preview \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 8989:8989 \
  -v /dev/rtc:/dev/rtc:ro \
  -v /home/beastnas/sonarr/config:/config \
  -v /media/storage/tv:/tv \
  -v /media/storage/downloads/complete:/complete \
  -v /media/storage/downloads/incomplete:/incomplete `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/sonarr:preview

I’m guessing I have some folder set up wrong but I can’t figure out what and where, everything looks OK to me off-hand. I used to use the ‘tv’ folder in the Download Client settings for Transmission in Sonarr, but I erased it thinking that was part of the problem. I have SabNZBd installed and everything works fine with that.

transmission would be telling sonarr the files are in /downloads/completed/… but that path doesnt exist in the sonarr container as you mapped it further down, and to a different path

simplest is to just change the sonarr container from
-v /media/storage/downloads/complete:/complete \
to
-v /media/storage/downloads:/downloads \

then when transmission tells sonar the files are in /downloads/completed/… sonarr will be able to find them in the same path.

Is there an easy enough way to add this in Docker without wiping out my Sonarr container and starting over? (Sorry, I’m still quite new to using Docker.)

nope, once its running youre stuck with it.

dont worry though, your config is stored in the /config path, not inside the container itself.

docker containers are meant to be transient, so destroy/recreate as needed

the only issue youll have with the v3 preview image is that it will revert back to the base version on startup so if you’ve upgraded it youll need to upgrade it again - actually that might not be an issue with the linuxserver image youre using
