Docker container - How to use CIFS mounts for complete and incomplete download directories

Post by sandyplankton »

I have SABnzbd running as a docker container, and want to use directories on a CIFS share for incomplete and complete download directories. What is the correct way to do this? Docker is running on an Ubuntu Server VM. I initially created the mount point /mnt/server_scratch/ on the Ubuntu server, and then tried to address those mount points in a docker compose file:

Code: Select all

volumes:
  - /home/user/docker/sabnzbd:/config
  - /mnt/server_scratch/Downloads/SABnzbd/Complete:/downloads
  - /mnt/server_scratch/Downloads/SABnzbd/Incomplete:/incomplete-downloads
When trying to select those directories in the SABnzbd folder config, I receive the error
download_dir directory: /incomplete-downloads error accessing
I'm not sure why that doesn't work. I even went to the console of the docker container, went to those directories, and was able to create a new file. If there's some way to tweak this configuration, or some other method, let me know.
