Edit - marking as solved.

  • Remote path: /home/seedit4me
  • local path: /data

This is now working, I don’t know why it wasn’t before. ‐------------

I have followed the docs and have the recommended folder structures for my Plex and arrs setup.

sonarr has a volume set as /data which gives it access to e.g. /data/usenet/downloads This is working fine with SABnzdb

I am using a seedbox for torrents. Looking at ruTorrent on the seedbox, I can see that the local download folder there is set to: /home/seedit4me/torrents/rtorrent

sonarr is reporting "No files found are eligible for import in:

  • /home/seedit4me/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonarr/filename.mkv

I have set a remote path in the download clients page in sonarr as follows:

  • Host - ****.seedit4.me
  • Remote path: /home/seedit4me
  • local path: /data

I have ftp’d the mkv file to actual folder structure:

  • /data/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonaar/filename.mkv

The permissions on this file are:

  • -rw-rw-r–

the folder permissions are:

  • drwxrwxr-x 2 myacct myacct 4096 Aug 2 11:41 .
  • drwxrwxr-x 3 myacct myacct

My uid=1000(my acct), same for gid I have set these as the PUID and PGID env variables in sonarr

The log file in sonarr is reporting: |Error|DownloadedEpisodesImportService|Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: /home/(removed)/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonarr/filename.mkv

Seeing this, i tried mapping /home/(removed)/ to /data/ but that doesn’t work either.

Can anyone guide me on what I am doing wrong? I feel like I’ve checked everything so I can’t understand the issue at all.—

    Interesting idea, I’ve never done this before. I tried opening the console from within the sonarr portainer container. That failed with “unable to retrieve image details”

    On searching this, I was able to connect using:

    sudo docker exec -it sonaar bash

    This put me at the root of the container, and from there, I could navigate through:

    root@xx:/data/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonarr

    From there I could see the file. But the permissions were for user abc and group “users”. But I found the same when I browsed to the usenet downloads area, so I think this is more because of the way I logged in to root. I don’t have any issues with usenet and sonaar. ID from there shows my uid as 0 and gid 0

      when you say /home/(removed)/... is that verbatim, or is (removed) supposed to indicate you redacted that part?
