Created Radarr Docker Container on PR4100, Can't Access Media Files

I’m relatively new to Docker, but after lots of research finally got Docker and Radarr running on my PR4100. This was the template I created for the container:

sudo docker create --name=radarr \
--restart=always \
-v /mnt/HD/HD_a2/docker/config:/config \
-v /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Media/Downloads/:/downloads \
-v /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Media/Movies/:/movies \
-e PGID=0 -e PUID=0 \
-e TZ=America/Los_Angeles \
-p 7878:7878 \
linuxserver/radarr

Everything works find except the file browser within Radarr. I’m siloed within the Docker container and can’t point to higher directory (where my media lives). I’ve attempted to create a symlink in the Docker directory and wasn’t successful with that either. In regards to my GID and UID, I’m running as root so they are both 0. I’ve checked permissions in all directories involved and they’re correct as well.

When I use Radarr’s file browser, I see /movies, however it’s completely empty, I don’t see my actual movies files within:

/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Media/Movies

Radarr sticks me in the following directory (treats this as ‘root’):

/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/_docker/vfs/dir/[hashedDirName]/

Did you try the Manual Import in the Wanted tab?

Yep, same issue in that file browser as well.

I don’t use Radarr/Sonarr but this seems to work for me with Docker 18.06 and a Media share:

mkdir /shares/Media/downloads
mkdir /shares/Media/movies

docker volume create radarr_cfg

docker create --name=radarr \
--restart=always \
-v radarr_cfg:/config \
-v /shares/Media/downloads:/downloads \
-v /shares/Media/movies:/movies \
-e PGID=0 -e PUID=0 \
-e TZ=America/Los_Angeles \
-p 7878:7878 \
linuxserver/radarr

docker start radarr

Note the trailing slashes in the paths are removed.
Any files in the directory show up in the file browser too.

Thanks for the docker commands! Still seems to be the same sadly. I’ve even set permissions to 755, not sure if you have any other solutions.

Let’s try with the newer syntax. See Bind mounts | Docker Documentation
Please let me know what you get for just this one movie:

cd /shares/Media/downloads
wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blender/demo/movies/Sintel.2010.720p.mkv
ls -l

Provide docker version

docker version

Remove radarr and set it up again

docker rm radarr

docker create --name=radarr \
--restart=always \
--volume radarr_cfg:/config \
--mount type=bind,source=/shares/Media/downloads,target=/downloads \
--mount type=bind,source=/shares/Media/movies,target=/movies \
-e PGID=0 -e PUID=0 \
-e TZ=America/Los_Angeles \
-p 7878:7878 \
linuxserver/radarr

Now go to the Wanted tab and press Manual Import. Select /downloads. Choose manual import.
If you still don’t see the movie, please share the output of

cat /proc/mounts

Sadly, still nothing, here’s the information requested:

ls -l:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 673935402 Apr 24 2011 Sintel.2010.720p.mkv

That’s unexpected. It belongs to the original docker… Please reboot and remove that _docker.bak (you may need to kill/umount whatever is running there)

Killed the _docker.bak directory and rebooted / re-installed. Unfortunately, I seem to be having the same results.
