qBitTorrent installed by Docker file, saving files in a folder that I dont want!

Post by paivadaniel »

I have a hd mounted in /media/Courses (correctly configured in /etc/fstab) to store my downloads. In my Web UI of qBitTorrent installed via Docker, in the settings I checked for the files to be saved in: /media/Courses/downloads, but everything is being saved in: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/a6b437c93a0285c951ea64bfc59705e49e0e057c2d024951d7000cfe515926b4/diff/media/Cursos/downloads/

How do I save the files in /media/Courses/downloads?

follow my docker-compose for qBitTorrent:

version: "2.1"
services:
qbittorrent:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
container_name: qbittorrent
environment:
- PUID=0
- PGID=0
- TZ=America/Sao_Paulo
- WEBUI_PORT=8080
volumes:
- /media/Cursos/data/qbittorrent:/config
- /media/Cursos/downloads:/downloads
ports:
- 8080:8080
- 6881:6881
- 6881:6881/udp
restart: unless-stopped

p.s.: I changed my PUID and PGID from 1000 to 0 because I was getting the "Permission Denied" error when trying to download torrents.

In the QBT configuration page you are using an incorrect location to store your downloads. You can NOT use a directory located on your system, it must be, in your use case, /downloads
