Struggling with remote paths on DSM (using transmission Docker as well)

Help & Support
1

So I have both Sonarr and Transmission running on Docker.
I’ve set my Transmission download path to /downloads -> I’m fine with that.

My problem is, I want Sonarr to put my tv shows on /volume1/video/tv.

I’ll be quite honest, I’m not sure what I’m doing. Although I have very basic linux knowledge and search a while through the forum, I don’t know how to accomplish that.

I see that I have something (suggested in other topics) called “remote mappings”. I chose the “host” as my localhost, and remote path as /volume1/video/tv. Local path as /downloads. Is this correct?

Because then when I want to add a new tv show, and choose the path, choosing something like 192.168.1.10/volume1/video/Series doesn’t work (invalid path).

Could you please shed some light?

No.

Read the tool tips for each field, if Transmission docker puts them in /downloads you need to tell Sonarr how to access that path directly on the synology (the folder you mapped on the host in docker to /downloads, maybe /volume1/downloads). You’re not using a remote path mapping to tell Sonarr where to copy/move the files after, it already knows where that is when you added the series.

Thanks for your answer.

You’re not using a remote path mapping to tell Sonarr where to copy/move the files after, it already knows where that is when you added the series.

That’s my main question, right there. When I add a series, I need to choose a path. I can’t point to volume1 because through docker (from what I read) is not possible.

Really lost markus. Could you please tell me what do I put in both Remote Path configuration, and what path do I use to add a series (in order to go to /volume1/video/tv).

Really appreciate your help.

You have to mount the /volume1/video/tv path in the docker container.
Typically something like this, in the docker’s arguments: -v /volume1/video/tv:/tv
You can also do this in the GUI of you synology, it’s basically the same but presented in a user-friendly way.

Left of the colon is the host location (your nas), right is the mount point inside the docker.
That way when adding series in sonarr, you can make the root folder /tv.

You’ll probably need to do the same for a /downloads mount point (I don’t know, pointing to /volume1/downloads or something on your syno).
Edit: if you use the same /downloads mount point in your sonarr and transmission docker, sonarr will automagically find downloaded files.
