Map downloads folder from NAS on Ubuntu VM

Post by Miroresh »

Hi guys,

I have the following setup:

Qnap hosts my Download, Temp and Multimedia (where I store the files) folders.
Qnap also virtualizes a Ubuntu 18.04 VM.
folder path is "smb://NASNAME.local/completeddownloads" and "smb://NASNAME.local/tempdownload"
Shared folders above are mounted to the VM and VM can read/write to folders with permanent permissions
SAB is installed in said VM and its available on my main PC via 192.168.1.xxx:8080 port/IP

Issue:

When I'm trying to edit the Temporary Download folder or the Completed Download folder via the UI, the NAS mapped folders are not displayed as an option.
How can I map/present these network folders to SAB?

Thanks in advance, apologies for the newb question and I checked but couldn't find a related issue. :)

From Ubuntu, first mount them (and make sure it's writable!). After that, SABnzbd can see them and use them.

For example, on my Ubuntu, I've mounted my synology NAS like this, viewable via "mount" command:

Code: Select all

//192.168.1.1/downloads on /media/diskstation type cifs
Note: mounting a NAS under Linux is medium difficult, because of writing rights.
