So I was playing with setting up the arr inside docker and my compose file was looking good. Everything loaded and came up fine and I got to setting up. I hit an odd error that I feel I am just not understanding the error correctly to fix.

You are using docker; download client SABnzbd places downloads in /downloads/usenet/music but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings.

Now this is in lidarr talking about sabnzbd. The server they are all on is an ubuntu server that I have an smb share mounted to and they all can access and read/write it. Is this error just because it’s a share that is mounted on the server and the volume in the docker is linked to the /mnt folder and not //serverip of the smb share?

Or is it a config thing, since they both have the volume /mnt/truenas/downloads:/downloads set and it still gave the error.

Check remote path mappings and your file/folder permissions. SMB shares with Docker were not straightforward.

Turns out the easy solution was not to map it using the provided volumes like /mnt/truenas:/download but to just setup a new volume in each of them which solved the issue.
