  • There may be a much better way to do this but I use folder binding instead of volumes. What I usually do is map another folder structure for both sonarr and whatever DL client I am using.

    So for example I do some kind of /mnt/docker/download. This is mapped in the containers as the directory as well as the path on my system.

    • v /mnt/docker/download:/mnt/docker:download

    I have this extra line in all containers that need access to the downloaded files. Then in my download client I change the default directory that it downloads to from /data to this /mnt/docker/download. Then in Sonarr/Radarr I tell it that this is the download directory. This then becomes a directory that they all have access to and can then use without error or without extra complex options in docker.

    Less secure in its production practice but this is essentially a temp folder that will only ever have 1-3 files in it prior to them being processed.
