Sonarr - Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr:

Hi Guys,

Installed Sonarr Dockr on OMV 4.x, as guided by Technodad video, but have had no luck with renaming and moving downloaded content to my TV shows folder.

Sonarr sends the download instruction to Transmission and the download is successful but nothing happens after that, seems like a permission issue with Sonarr in Docker.

Only one usr setup on OMV and the user has access to the shared folders- (Confirmed User ID is PUID1000 & PGID100)
Both Torrent client downloads folder and Sonarr docker downloads folders are the same.

Not sure if any other permissions are required by Sonarr to access the folders to rename and move files. Refer screen shots for errors and current docker settings,

Ok who's Jane the Virgin

Anyway the first image says /sharefolders/NAS/DOWNLOADS, the third image with the error gives /srv/dev-disk-by etc/NAS2/NAS/DOWNLOADS even I'm confused.

haha a show my folks at home watch...

thanks for pointing this out, i remapped the folder names exactly as appearing in transmission, saved he docker container
and restarted sonarr, did a fresh download and same issue attached fresh screendumps and error logs.

TBH I don't use anything like this but most of the time it's just simply a config error what jumps out this time is this;

Shouldn't the the 2 X's for PUID and PGID be greyed out as well? I'll tag @TechnoDadLife he might be able to throw some light.

I would start there.

I checked the settings again, the X's are not greyed for any of the fields entered by me. as shown in this attachment.

I noticed that your appdata does to shared folders, but you other two go someplace else. What are you doing?

it is the same destination, i remapped to match the exact drive path, restarted Sonarr Docker, redid the settings and redid the test, still no luck

Post a screenshot of your Sonarr download client settings.

The config path is confusing, for instance because I use MergerFS I have a separate drive for Docker configs so mine is;
/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Docker/AppData/Emby points to /config

Yours shows /srv/dev-disk-by-label-NAS2/sharedfolders/Appdata/Sonarr you have a folder on that drive called sharedfolders?

If that's the case then post 3 would surely have been /sharedfolders/sharefolders/Appdata/Sonarr mind you I could be losing the plot

wondering if I can simply redo the whole volume binding,

Currently to my knowledge, sonarr config resides within
/srv/dev-disk-by-label-NAS2/sharedfolders/Appdata/Sonarr
&
my Downloads and TV shows are within
/srv/dev-disk-by-label-NAS2/NAS

also wondering if I can save the sonarr config somewhere in the boot/OS drive.. would that make any difference?

ohhhh ok.. thanks for that clarification. this makes sense to me. let me check if I can simply create / move the folders as suggested by you and rerun a test.

thanks geaves

Hi Guys,

After much struggle and thanks to all your support i was able to finally accomplish the end to end automation

Not sure if this was something obvious I missed or if it just made it easier for the permissions,
I was running Transmission as a plugin all along and Sonarr as a docker. So I deleted the plugin service and setup Transmission as a docker.
all works flawlessly now , with no permission issues

Again big thanks to Geaves, Technodadlife & Gderf
Really appreciate your support
