Struggling to find files
Clickbaitcake opened this issue · comments
Hello,
I assume I am doing something wrong but can't put my finger on it.
Transmission says downloads have completed and are in a folder /downloads/movies/ but when I SSH to my server I can't see anything in that folder.
Are my files inside the docker container filesystem instead of my actual host file system?
I have configured the path in transmission-settings.json and my custom.env file.
What am I doing wrong here?
Yeah, nefarious (actually transmission) downloads things into a docker container file system, which should be mounted to your hosts' path as whatever you defined as HOST_DOWNLOAD_PATH.
You shouldn't be editing transmission-settings.json for most use cases. Follow the Setup and you'll see you just need an .env file which nefarious uses for it's initial configuration.
It seems changing the download path in the transmission-settings.json file seemed to cause my issue. Totally self inflicted. Sorry for the pointless issue!
