Sonarr and qBittorrent issues

General
1

Hi all. I am having issues getting the Arr apps to process finished downloads from qBittorrent on ZimaOS. The Arr apps can send download requests and the downloads complete just fine but then nothing happens. I’m guessing it’s either a permission/owner issue or more likely, a folder structure conflict? I have tried so many variations, I have completely got myself lost so am seeking your help! Here is the current settings;

I have a system drive named ZimaOS-HD and a Raid drive named Main.

qBittorrent:

On install I input;
ZimaOS = /DATA/AppData/qbittorrent/config qBittorrent = /config
ZimaOS = /media/Main/torrents qBittorrent = /Main/torrents
PGID & PUID = 1000
UMASK = 002

Then in the qBittorrent app settings I’ve got;
Default save path = /media/Main/torrents

Sonarr:

On install I input;
ZimaOS = /DATA/AppData/sonarr/config Sonarr = /config
ZimaOS = /media/Main/torrents Sonarr = /Main/torrents
ZimaOS = /media/Main/Media/tvshows Sonarr = /Media/tvshows

Then in Sonarr app settings I’ve tried remote mapping but nothing seems to work here and I’ve tried removing any remote mappings and no luck there either way. I did see the section for Permissions and wondered if this is necessary to getting this working?

Oh, I did chown -R 1000:1000 /media/Main/Media in the hope this helped.

A complete newbie here, always been a Windows user having never run a Linux OS before now! What am I missing? Probably something really simple!

Well I didn’t get any response to my post so I’ve been blindly trying to fix the issue with no luck and in fact it’s now worse. qBittorent downloads don’t even start now, just keeps displaying the errored message and reading the logs it’s a permissions issue despite my checking as far as I can.

The weird thing is that I got it all working for a day upon first install of the Arrival apps and qBittorent. It may be a coincidence but the issue seemed to start after installation of Immich and subsequent attempts to reinstall it to try to get the Immich library to install on my storage drives as opposed to the system drive.

You didn’t get a response probably because there was nothing to work with and only Sonarr and qbittorrent users could have helped you who had the same issue.

If you can share any error message you mentioned you had, that could help a lot.

Also if you can share any compose file or commands that can help someone to try to reproduce the issue.
