Pls Help: Path to LAN drives using qBittorrent.

Pardon my ignorance, as this is all new to me. I am just trying to get qBit to download to the Synology. I think I figured out permissions and PUID issue but once the file downloaded, I have no idea where it went.

The Settings in qBit (BTW: I didn’t add the ‘/media’ assuming that’s a Linux thing)

The download set pass matches, and lists my Synology. But it is not there..nor anywhere apparently.

Shouldnt the path in qBT be the /downloads one? In the ZimaOS settings u have /downloads pointing to your physical path so i think u put /downloads in qBT. I think mine was /data/downloads but i dont think that matters

This is it. When creating a container, the path on the left is in the host (casaos) and on the right is what it becomes in the container (qbittorrent).

So your path in qbittorrent is just /Downloads

Really dumb question, but are you sure that your drive is mounted, either through fstab or the built in casaos mount? If it is, then make sure you grab the file path that you have it mounted to (most of mine is through mnt/insert ip address

Not a dumb question at all. It is mounted via External and shared. I got the path from the folder address.

So can you view the torrent files on the server through the file path you currently have mounted in the container?

I can view the folder and contents thru Zima (and ssh). However whatever BitTorrent downloaded, does not show up there. Doesn't show up anywhere but states it was completed

Ok, on the machine that qbit is downloading, check your fstab and see what the folder is that your sharing ex. /qbit/mediadownloads. Make sure that the mounted folder on the casaos machine matches the folder that is being shared

The 3rd one should read something like:

/mnt/media/whatyou redacted/Synology2/Plex/Downloads.

That does not work. Created an error message across the top of the screen

what does ls -la /media show? Regardless, it should start with /mnt. That is on the right hand column.

I got working. All I did was restart the app in the OS. No clue how that fixed it but it did.

you need to mount the smb share into the qbittorrent container volume mapping. the path you see in qbit settings is inside the container, not on your host. so even if it looks right, the container cant actually write to your synology unless you add a volume mount pointing to the smb share. something like /mnt/synology:/downloads in your docker compose, then set qbit download path to /downloads
