Path mapping not working

Insight & Feedback
1

Hi all, new to ZimaOS and hoping someone can help with a path mapping issue between SABnzbd, Radarr, and Sonarr.

Setup:

  • ZimaOS on a Beelink Mini S13, WD 8TB external USB drive, SABnzbd, Radarr, Sonarr all installed via ZimaOS app store as Docker containers

Volume mappings (same for all three apps):

  • /DATA/.media/My Book → /mybook(Mybook is the EHD)

SABnzbd Folders:

  • Completed downloads: /mybook/downloads/complete

  • Incomplete downloads: /mybook/downloads/incomplete

SABnzbd Categories:

  • movies → /mybook/downloads/complete/movies

  • tv → /mybook/downloads/complete/tv

Radarr root folder: /mybook/Movies Sonarr root folder: /mybook/TV Shows

Errors:

  • Radarr: “Download client SABnzbd places downloads in the root folder /mybook/Movies/. You should not download to a root folder.”

  • Sonarr: “You are using docker; download client SABnzbd places downloads in /downloads/tv but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container.”

No remote path mappings are currently set. Any help appreciated — happy to share screenshots.

Update - I downloaded a file, and the SABnzbd history shows the file at /mybook/downloads/complete/movies/ but ZimaOS Files shows the folder as empty….. :frowning:

Hi I ran into this issue before and the solution that worked for me was updating the permissions of the folder
I had to lookup linux chmod commands

This looks like the apps are not all seeing the same path inside Docker.

SABnzbd is using:

/mybook/downloads/complete/movies

But Sonarr is complaining about:

/downloads/tv

So somewhere the container paths are different.

The main thing is to make SABnzbd, Radarr, and Sonarr all use the same mount, for example:

Host path:
/DATA/.media/My Book

Container path:
/mybook

Then keep downloads separate from the media folders:

SAB downloads:
/mybook/downloads/complete

Radarr root:
/mybook/Movies

Sonarr root:
/mybook/TV Shows

Do not download directly into the Radarr or Sonarr root folders.

Also, if SABnzbd says the file is there but ZimaOS Files shows the folder empty, it may be writing inside the container or to a different mapped path. I would first check the real Docker volume mappings for all three apps and make sure they match exactly.
